Airport plan takes flight Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au AN airport at Hastings is an idea being flown by Frankston Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire appears to be onboard.

The high-flying concept was first floated at a Frankston Council public meeting early this month. Councillors unanimously voted to write to Premier Daniel Andrews and the South East Metropolitan Group of Councils “to determine the viability of the Port of

Hastings site as a location for the South Eastern Airport as identified in Plan Melbourne”.

“We have received support for this proposal from the members of the South East Melbourne Group of Councils,” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said last week.

“To date there have been only informal conversations about this proposal. We’re excited to get the ball rolling regarding this conversation.”

The airport proposal seems to be taxiing for takeoff with Mornington Peninsula Shire happy to take a look at

expert advice about building an airport in western port.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire has discussed the proposal for a regional airport with Frankston Council and supported their development of a feasibility study,” Mayor Cr Graham Pittock said.

Cr Pittock said he and Shire CEO Carl Cowie attended the latest SEM Group of Councils meeting and “are keen to consider any options that could lead to new major developments in the region”.

noted Melbourne is likely to have a third airport in the south east in the long term, by the year 2050, but did not specify a location for the airport.

Frankston Council is pushing for a passenger and freight airport to be built on a 2000 hectare site, dubbed ‘the Long Island Precinct’, between Hastings and Somerville earmarked as a container port for the Port of Hastings.

Frankston Council sees the construction of an airport on the Mornington Peninsula as “a viable option to drive economic growth in South East Melbourne” since it seems

unlikely the Hastings port will now be built.

“We need an economic catalyst here in the south east that supports the growth of our region’s shared strengths: manufacturing, tourism and premium produce,” Cr Dooley said.

“A regional airport could enable the south east to maximise upon the opportunities that come from international demand for premium Australian beef, wine, dairy, berries, asparagus and herbs and further cement the region as a major tourism destination.”

Crewther wins preselection Emergency situation? A stoush over funding for Peninsula Health has broken out between the state and federal governments.

Governments clash over health Neil Walker neil@baysidenews.com.au A WAR of words about money has broken out between the federal and state government over funding for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula health services.

State Labor Health Minister Jill Hennessy has accused the federal government of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sneaky counting trickâ&#x20AC;? that will cut $3.29 million from Peninsula Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These cuts are a direct attack on Peninsula Health, and will see patients waiting longer for surgeries and treatment,â&#x20AC;? Ms Hennessy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not good enough, and peninsula patients deserve better.â&#x20AC;?

The state government says the Liberal federal government has backflipped on National Health Funding Pool arrangements agreed with the previous Liberal state government in a move that will see â&#x20AC;&#x153;$73 million ripped away from Victorian public

hospital patientsâ&#x20AC;? this year.

Ms Hennessy said the effects of the budget â&#x20AC;&#x153;black holeâ&#x20AC;? would be felt at Frankston Hospital as early as next month.

Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley said the administrator of the National Health Funding Pool had advised the Victorian government that its 2013-14 funding statement is â&#x20AC;&#x153;outside of agreed calculationsâ&#x20AC;? within a national partnership agreement between states and the federal government on improving public hospital services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victoria was attempting to gain a $73 million windfall at the expense of other states and territories,â&#x20AC;? Ms Ley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Commonwealth has made it clear that all states and territories must be treated equitably and comply with the same formula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an improper grab for cash by State Labor which is more concerned with playing politics than the health and wellbeing of local communities.â&#x20AC;?

Ms Hennessy said funding cuts to

health services across Victoria â&#x20AC;&#x153;could have been used to treat 72,000 chemotherapy patients, attend to 180,000 emergency department presentations, or provide almost 12,000 elective surgeriesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This decision means Malcolm Turnbull will claw back $73 million in health funding from Victoria, leaving hospitals across Victoria facing cuts of millions of dollars to fill this blackhole,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When asked if Peninsula Health had been consulted about the funding shortfall executive director of finance David Anderson said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are still working through the implications at this stage.â&#x20AC;?

Disputes over public health funding between federal and states are a regular occurrence. Former prime minister Kevin Rudd promised, but ultimately was unable to implement, a federal â&#x20AC;&#x153;takeoverâ&#x20AC;? of responsibility for hospital funding across Australia in exchange for the states giving up some GST revenue.

KINGSTON councillor Paul Peulich and former Carrum MP Donna Bauer have missed out on Liberal preselection for the seat of Dunkley at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election.

Chris Crewther, former CEO of the Mildura Development Corporation, won the Liberal nomination in a close run race featuring eight candidates.

The vote by Liberal Party members came down to the wire between Ms Bauer and Mr Crewther on Sunday afternoon (21 February) at a party convention in Mt Eliza with Mr Crewther, 31, emerging as the preferred candidate.

Mr Crewther unsuccessfully contested the seat of Mallee in 2013 and is a former staffer of Victorian senator Michael Ronaldson.

Sitting Liberal MP for Dunkley Bruce Billson will retire from politics after this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election, yet to be called by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, after his demotion from his small business ministerial position in cabinet last year after the ousting of former prime minister Tony Abbott.

Girl hit by garbage truck dies A TEENAGE girl struck by a garbage truck in Langwarrin earlier this month has died in hospital.

The 17-year-old Langwarrin resident was crossing the intersection of Cranbourne-Frankston Rd and Long St when she was struck about 8.10am on Tuesday 16 February.

She was airlifted to Royal Melbourne hospital with life-threatening injuries and passed away Thursday (25 Febru-

ary). The 54-year-old Frankston driver of the truck has been interviewed by police but released without charge.

Sergeant Kris Hamilton, of police media, said investigations were continuing into the fatality, and detectives are appealing for witnesses.

FUNDING for an enclosed structure to house the sand sculptures exhibition at Frankston’s waterfront all year round has faced criticism as “a waste of money”.

Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson last week announced a $750,000 federal government grant towards building a weatherproof structure to house the sand sculpting exhibition hosted by Sandstorm Events (‘Sand sculptures exhibition cash boost’, The Times 22/2/16).

Many readers took to Facebook to say they believed the money could be better spent housing the homeless, helping the aged or improving hospital services in Frankston.

Frankston Council confirmed it had been notified of the grant before its announcement but said any ratepayer funded contribution to the project “has not been considered at this stage”.

Mayor Cr James Dooley said councillors had not yet had a chance to discuss whether council will offer financial or in-kind support to ensure the sand sculpting exhibition, usually a summer event, can become an allyear attraction.

“Council was requested to provide a letter of support for the funding,” Cr Dooley said.

“Obviously the support does not negate the need for all necessary approvals and consents.

“Planning approval is required as is state government permission as the

foreshore is Crown Land. Other factors to consider relate to benefits and impacts upon the community including hours of operation, parking, landscaping and balancing other potential users of the space.”

The $750,000 in federal funding, part of a federal nationwide $3.6 mil-

lion Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure program, is dependent “on a matched dollar-for-dollar basis”.

Sandstorm Events managing director Sharon Redmond said the company will match the funding grant bringing the total project cost to $1.5 million.

Police pursuit policy under review VICTORIA Police’s contentious vehicle pursuit policy, introduced in August, is under review – which must be music to the ears of serving officers who feel hamstrung and impotent when crooks drive by and they can’t chase them.

The number of “evade police” mentions in police dispatches – meaning police were not permitted to chase offenders – is hard for many to accept.

The policy was introduced mid-last year in a bid to strike a balance between protecting life and the need to arrest offenders. It came about via a range of recommendations from a coronial inquest into deaths arising from police pursuits in 2013.

Under the policy, officers cannot initiate a chase unless they perceive the offenders pose a risk to the safety of members of the public, or unless a crime has been committed where someone has been serious injured.

Superintendent Glenn Weir, of Frankston Police, acknowledged “frustration” by some members of the public when police are ordered not to chase offenders on safety grounds: “We get that,” he said. “[But] there is still provision to pursue.”

He said the policy was based on a risk assessment and safety approach, rather than going all out to catch offenders.

“There were always plans to review

the policy after a trial period and that’s under way.”

Victoria Police pursuit policy: ‘Members must not initiate or continue a pursuit unless they believe that there is an urgent need to apprehend the vehicle occupant/s because: It is necessary to prevent a serious risk to public health and safety A criminal offence has been committed, or is about to be committed, which involves serious injury to a person Alternative means for apprehending the vehicle occupant/s are not feasible The overall harm they are seeking to prevent is greater than the risks involved in conducting the pursuit.’

Motorcyclist dies after collision

THREE large men robbed the Amayla Crescent, Carrum Downs, 7-Eleven store, and menaced the lone attendant, Sunday 14 February.

The men stole a quantity of cigarettes and cash in the 11.53pm raid. They did not use weapons in this robbery, but may have in others. The two who jumped the counter wore balaclavas while the third, who kept the door open, did not. The men drove off in a stolen green Commodore sedan which police believe was the one found later at Pearcedale.

Detective Acting Sergeant Marty O’Brien, of Frankston Criminal Investigation Unit, said police would like to speak with a man who witnessed the robbery, and who approached the attendant with details immediately afterwards. He is asked to call 9784 5555.

A MOTORCYCLIST died after colliding with a car in Seaford, Wednesday morning.

The accident occurred on Seaford Rd near the southbound Frankston Freeway on-ramp about 9.30am. The male rider died at the scene. Westbound traffic on Seaford Rd was closed to traffic and was being diverted at Hartnett Dr. Leading Senior Constable JulieAnne Newman, of police media, said a report would be prepared for the coroner.

This year, 17 motorcyclists have been killed on Victorian roads compared to six at the same time last year.

Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer said he doesn’t want to see any-

more needless loss of life.

“The 17 riders we have lost to date are not faceless men in black helmets,” he said.

“They are brothers, sons and fathers whose deaths will never be forgotten by their families and friends.

“I challenge the whole community to not let their deaths be in vain but instead for them to be a wake-up call to change our behaviour on the roads.

“We need to share the roads and respect each other at all times.”

Anyone who saw the Seaford collision is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Centre honours former principal CORNISH College founding principal Kerry Bolger had the honour of opening a building named in his honour, Friday.

Mr Bolger retired at the end of last year and the students were said to be looking forward to welcoming him back to celebrate the opening.

The Kerry Bolger Centre houses years 4, 5 and 6 students, with two classrooms per year level, as well as breakout spaces. It was dedicated by The Reverend Dr Robert Johnson, chair of the Cornish College Council.

The centre is part of a broader building program at the Bangholme school. These include new science classrooms, library, and reception and administration areas. The Parents’ Association replaced ovens in the home economics room.

Future developments will include a senior learning centre for years 10 to 12, a middle school wing for years 7 to 9 and re-development of the arts, drama and music facilities.

Senior Sergeant Peter Rowley, of Carrum Downs highway patrol, said the fact no one was injured was “miraculous”.

“It was going faster and faster downhill but, somehow, it didn’t hit anything until it went through the fence.

Anything could have happened.”

Ventura fleet operations manager Michael Hourn said the company was investigating the “serious incident”.

He said reports had been sent to Transport Safety Victoria, and that internal investigations would help determine a cause, leading to preventative measures being taken.

No school children were on the school bus, which is contracted to Padua College.

Two heavy haulage tow trucks managed to tow it from the properties, which are opposite Fultons Rd.

KARATE enthusiasts of all standards will be in Mornington next week for the Traditional Shotokan Karate National Championships.

Events will be run Monday 7 March-Saturday 12 March at the Mornington Basketball Centre, Dunns Rd. Thursday 10 March is a rest day.

The highest ranking member of the style, Shihan Takahashi, is coming from Japan to watch the action.

Dojos (or clubs) from every state will be represented and 200 competitors have already registered. Most will bring family members for the week, providing a welcome boost to the region’s economy.

Mornington Peninsula Karate Club is hosting the event, which is regularly held on the Gold Coast. “People are coming from all over Australia and looking forward to seeing the peninsula’s wineries and beaches,” said Dojo leader Sensei Jeff Young, of Somerville.

A BUS being repaired on the side of Humphries Rd, Mt Eliza, rolled backwards, crashing through fences and into properties when the brakes failed, early evening, Friday 19 February.

A mechanic tried to steer the Ventura Bus Lines vehicle while looking over his shoulder as it sped 300 metres downhill and out-of-control.

The driver had managed to jump off as the bus began rolling, but his efforts to replace the wheel chocks failed and the bus gained speed as it careered first into one property, then through a side fence and only coming to a standstill after virtually destroying a neighbour’s studio bungalow.

A swathe of trees and shrubs were flattened, but Frankston SES’s Brian

McManus said it was lucky more damage, possible injuries or even fatalities were averted.

“The bus mounted the curb and even rolled between a power pole and a fence without hitting them,” he said.

“The whole thing was amazing.”

Frankston SES incident controller Phil Holt said it was lucky no one was injured in the freak incident.

“We got the call at 6.27pm saying there was a vehicle into a house – but when we got there we saw it was a bus,” he said.

“It must have rolled a couple of hundred metres and the mechanic did well to keep it on the road for most of the way, but there had to be an outcome and it crashed through fences and into an office causing significant damage.

“We made the area safe and prepared for the arrival of heavy haulage.”

Ratepayers dig in over quarry Stephen Taylor steve@baysidenews.com.au TYABB Ratepayers’ Association is ramping up its opposition to a pending “open cut mine” at Somerville which it says will generate profits for the quarry owners, Bayport Industries based in Carrum Downs, but losses to residents of Somerville and Tyabb”.

Members are “considerably concerned” that further development and more intensive extraction works at the Bayport Industries’ Pottery Rd quarry will turn 24 hectares of the old Peninsula Pottery site into a 30 metre deep open cut clay mine.

They say all vegetation on the site is, or will be, removed, and that, from this month, up to 280 dump truck-and-trailer loads of clay a day, five and half days a week, will exit and enter the property onto Jones Rd. Further, that while the quarry’s use was not out of place on a backblocks site 45 years ago, the area’s transition from rural to residential makes it an anachronism.

Although it is acknowledged that the owners have long-held permits, and existing use rights for clay extraction, the association fears the latest plans so far exceed what has been done in the past that new permits should be required.

It says the increased activity will generate “intolerable dust and noise and disturb wildlife, impact on children travelling to school, and reduce nearby property values”. They fear the quarry may eventually be filled with hard waste.

Big picture: Tyabb Residents Group spokesman Alan Robinson casts a critical eye over the Bayport quarry operations. Picture: Yanni A company letter to nearby residents stating it intended to begin larger-scale clay mining as of yesterday (Monday), has reportedly been stalled by the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. The News was told Friday that Bayport had been told to stop clearing land near the boundaries of adjoining properties until after a public meeting on Wednesday 15 March.

Bayport development manager Daniel Petroni declined to comment last

week. “We don’t want to get drawn into discussions with neighbours,” he said.

“We’ve had ongoing operations here for 20 years and the quarry has been here since 1969. It’s our policy not to comment.”

The company held what it termed a “community consultation meeting” at Pottery Rd, 10 February, “to discuss recent concerns raised by adjoining property owners … with respect to works undertaken on our quarry site, tree clearing, land drainage, and establish-

ment and revegetation of bunds, going forward”.

It invited residents from Pottery and Wellington roads to meet with company representatives. Also attending were consultants, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council officers and representatives of the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources.

Tyabb Ratepayers’ Association spokesman Alan Robinson, who lives on Jones Rd, agreed the company’s

long-standing clay mining operations and extraction permits in place since 1969 gave it certain legal and moral rights to continue “existing” operations.

But he said the massive scale of the planned works meant existing-use permits no longer applied.

“People bought into the area under assurances by the then-council that the mine was almost disused and there were no plans to extend its operations,” Mr Robinson said.

“There’s been hardly any activity on the site in the past 12 years except for a short burst of intense work last October, which included some land clearing and burning off.

“Now, [under the latest plans] those living near or abutting the quarry will have to endure increased levels of dirt and noise day in, day out.”

A resident whose property backs onto the quarry was last week shocked to find all vegetation removed up to the fence line, while clearing works had yet to begin up to their neighbour’s fence.

Bunds – or earthworks up to three metres’ high – are planned to provide privacy screening.

The land clearing works provided a contrasting view of what the quarry had been, and what it will become, if planned operations go ahead.

Talk of a petition to restrict the mining operations was floated on Facebook Thursday. Comments included: “It’s all been kept hush hush; I got a letter and was appalled, and, does anyone know about community meeting?”

NEWS DESK Erosion control lecture tours sites THE use of grass to control erosion at Daveys Bay, Mt Eliza, and Portsea will be promoted at a lecture organised by the South Eastern Centre for Sustainability.

The Vetiver System is based on using a cultivar of vetiver grass to stabilise eroded areas.

The grass, developed in India as a low cost solution to a range of environmental problems by the World Bank in the 1980s, has been used in Australia to stabilise mining sites, treat sewerage and along contaminated creek banks.

Dr Paul Truong, of Veticon Consulting, will speak at the $100 a head â&#x20AC;&#x153;Controlling and preventing erosion using vetiver grassâ&#x20AC;? lecture on 9 March.

Participants will also be taken to view eroded sites at Daveys Bay and Portsea.

The South Eastern Centre for Sustainabilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president Elizabeth Lisinski said Dr Truongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;unique approachâ&#x20AC;? to controlling erosion is â&#x20AC;&#x153;endorsed in over 100 countriesâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The methodology is tried and trusted and, above all, exceptionally cheap to implement as opposed to other conventional methods in addressing erosion,â&#x20AC;? Ms Lisinski said.

There is no charge for members of the centre.

Hastings police Senior Sergeant Steve Burt said he believed the marsupial caused an electrical fault in a transformer, generating sparks near where the grass-and-scrub fire started.

But Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency management commissioner Craig Lapsley didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider the possum theory when saying the cause of the fast-running fire was still being investigated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We haven't seen any lightning, that means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be the human factor,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vehicle, a human hand or a mistake.â&#x20AC;?

Metro crews were working â&#x20AC;&#x153;around the clockâ&#x20AC;? to replace the sleepers and repair signal damage so services could resume, spokesperson Sammi Black said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The damage occurred between two level crossings: Eramosa Rd and Frankston/Flinders Rd. We expect to have normal train services running from midday today [Thursday] between Frankston and Stony Point.â&#x20AC;?

A CFA relief centre was set up at Somerville Recreation Reserve, Edward St, Wednesday, to assist those affected by the fire. Municipal fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said the emergency relief centre provided a refuge and support to any residents directly impacted. It offers essential and urgent support to individuals, families

and communities during and, in the immediate aftermath of an emergency, he said.

About 28 trucks from most peninsula brigades fought the blaze to prevent it escalating in the 40 degree heat, but emergency warnings were downgraded Tuesday evening. Four crews remained on Wednesday with firefighters blacking out danger areas in cooler conditions.

Somerville CFA Captain Alan Monti said despite being relatively small the fire was intense, and had to be fought in a difficult environment. He said properties north of the town and west of the railway line â&#x20AC;&#x153;suffered a fair bit of damageâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our crews did a great job in fighting it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The state government last week offered financial assistance to Somerville bushfire victims. It said individuals and families affected by Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fires could access personal and financial counselling.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and state agencies are able to seek assistance for ratepayers, and for the costs of clean-up operations and restoration of essential public assets.

Details: call the Victorian Emergency Recovery Information Line on 1300 799 232.

The Somerville fire was one of 115 fires that burned in Victoria on Tuesday, one of the hottest days of the year.

Citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest A KARATE expert made a citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest when he heard a man in his Ballarto Rd, Carrum Downs house, 9pm, Saturday 20 February.

Police had been looking for the man over a series of night-time burglaries in the area.

Detective Senior Constable Flyn Loughlin, of Frankston CIU, said the 33 year old was also wanted for the burglary of a business in Jack St, Tuesday 2 February, where he allegedly stole a safe, laptop, iPhone and two bottles of whisky.

Another residential burglary occurred at McCormickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rd, Friday 19 February, where the man and an unknown accomplice allegedly stole a TV set and an X-box while the occupants were asleep, and at the house in Ballarto Rd. Here, the man was held by the karate expert until police arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Police had been looking for him for other burglaries at the time and were not far away,â&#x20AC;?

Detective Flyn said.

The man was remanded to Frankston Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court at a date to be fixed.

Yackity success FRANKSTON detectives made seven arrests under Operation Yackity during the week 1321 February, for theft of, and from, cars.

They work under the code name TOMCAT, which stands for Theft of motor cars and trailers. Twelve offences were allegedly committed.

Detective Acting Sergeant Ryan Collins, of Frankston CIU, said a man was also arrested for cultivating cannabis, another for burglary, another for drink-driving and a juvenile for robbery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all in the Frankston, Seaford, and Carrum Downs areas. All were bailed to appear at Frankston Magistratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Court except the drink-driver, who will be charged on Summons.

The cannabis was allegedly being grown in a hydroponic set up at the rear of a house in Lorna St, Seaford, by a 48 year old man. The robbery attempt occurred in Frankston CBD with the juvenile offender bailed to appear at Frankston Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court at a later date.

KITE FESTIVAL ROSEBUD FORESHORE JETTY ROAD SUN 13TH MARCH 2016

Raiders steal guns, motorcycle HOUSE breakers stole 12 firearms among $45,000 worth of valuables from a house at Skye, noon, Thursday 11 February.

Also stolen was a KTM off-road motorbike valued at $7000, which they could not start. A witness saw the bike being towed away by a white sedan with one of the men steering it.

Detective Senior Constable Flyn Loughlin, of Frankston CIU, said the registered weapons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shotguns, rifles and air rifles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were correctly stored in a gun safe which the thieves cut open using an angle grinder.

Also stolen from the Highview Rd property were a chainsaw, jewellery, iPads, ammunition, laptop, and hard drive from the CCTV security camera.

This is the second robbery at the property in five weeks; detectives believe the same men may be responsible. They forced open the front door and worked their way to the back door, stealing items as they went.

Detective Loughlin is appealing for witnesses to the robbery. He said the owner had â&#x20AC;&#x153;done everything right: CCTV was installed, the shed where the guns were stored was locked and the gun safe was locked,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just unfortunate that the thieves were able to get them.â&#x20AC;?

Parks checking on port risks USERS of Port Phillip and Western Port are being asked to tell Parks Victoria about any risks they know about in either bay.

The feedback may be added to the safety and environment management plan (SEMP) covering the two bays and Port Campbell.

“Our local ports feature unique marine habitats that have been recognised internationally for their diversity and we want to make sure we are serving the community and our marine environment as best we possibly can,” Parks Victoria senior manager local ports and waterways Victor Teoh said.

“We’re keen to hear from a whole range of people who use or enjoy Port Phillip, Western Port or Port Campbell. Whether you’re a swimmer, a recreational boat operator or even a resident living nearby, we’d like to hear your thoughts on our safety and environment management plan and how we can ensure the best outcomes for safety and the environment.”

The draft plan released for public comment says the state government sees climate change as a major risk to the environment, “our way of life and our economy”.

It says port environments could be adversely affected by heatwaves, accelerated erosion events, sea level rise and coastal impacts.

“Long term and immediate impacts of extreme weather are becoming more common and severe,” the plan states.

“The challenge is to provide a safe and reliable service offer by maintaining boating channels, aids to navigational equipment, piers, and jetties, break walls and launching facilities.

“Local port environments will also be effected by climate change with coastal land forms, habitats, flora and fauna experiencing more rapid change.”

Statistics show more than 70 million people visit Parks Victoria’s three “local” ports with 58.9 million in Port Phillip, 8.7 million in Western Port and 3.2 million at Port Campbell.

“Parks Victoria manages local port infrastructure and facilities across a diverse range of commercial and recreational activities,” Mr Teoh said.

“Managing the interaction of these activities and the supporting infrastructure is challenging and resource intensive and this is a great opportunity to provide feedback about the future management of safety and conservation on the water.”

The three ports include 40 piers, wharves and jetties; 2500 moorings and berths; 1000 navigational aids as well as dredged channels, harbours, slipways, breakwaters, sea walls and launching sites within the local ports.

The final draft of the Safety and Environment Management Plan and details about how to submit are available at parkweb.vic.gov.au The deadline for submissions is 18 March 2016. Call Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or see parks.vic.gov.au

Crowded surf, but that’s the plan PT LEO surf beach is sure to be crowded on Saturday, but no one is grumbling as it will be the second event held this year by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association.

The first event for the year on Saturday 16 January saw 115 participants enjoying the surf with the help of 300 volunteers.

And organisers are predicting this Saturday’s event will attract even more volunteers and participants.

Volunteers can register with the DSA near the Pt Leo lifesaving club from 9.30am (or earlier if they want to help set up for the day).

There are several jobs for volunteers who are briefed before the start of the event.

The actual surfing starts at 11am and involves teams of volunteers standing in the water to provide a channel of helping hands within which the surfers catch waves to the beach.

Some of the surfers lie down while others sit and stand.

The DSAMP has wide-wheeled wheelchairs to get surfers

M MAREES TOURS

on and off the beach.

The branch is raising money to build a boardwalk to make it easier for conventional wheelchairs to access the beach.

Branch secretary Bill Hallett said the January event “was our biggest day ever” and expects even more people on Saturday as “March events have always been bigger than in January”.

Mr Hallett said the help provided by volunteers was exemplified by a taxi driver who brought two young surfing participants to the January event from Cranbourne.

The driver, after finding out about the disabled surfing event “walked them to the rego tent, went and parked his car, turned off the radio and meter and volunteered”.

To volunteer or participate in the Disabled Surfers’ Association Mornington Peninsula branch’s register at the Point Leo lifesaving club from 9.30am Saturday 5 March or for more details go to disabledsurfers.org/vic/morningpeninsula-branch/ or call Ash Gardner on 0417 362 983 or Stewart Lockie 0418 101 645.

By Stuart McCullough I DON’T know how it got it in there. Maybe while my back was turned, perhaps when I was sleeping. But whatever the method, fact is it’s wheedled it’s way in and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do to get it out again. Like a possum in a roof cavity, it’s going to be extremely hard to evict. Sure, like anyone, I remember Salt-N-Pepa’s smash hit from 1992, ‘Shoop’. I just never expected it to show up unannounced all this time later and take up residency between my ears. I am now in the unfortunate position that the lyrics to ‘Shoop’ burst into my thinking when I least expect. It is, at the very least, distracting.

For those who might not remember the song, it’s a joyous celebration of carnality using a term that, technically speaking, might not quite be a double entendre. In the hands of one of rap music’s pioneers, it’s a complete triumph; a bona fide smash hit that found it’s way to the top of the charts in countries all across the world, including this one. For myself, I didn’t buy the single and didn’t own the album. It’s nothing personal; there’s lots of stuff I don’t own. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I haven’t heard the song in more than twenty years, which makes its reappearance now all the more bewildering.

It’s not the whole tune that’s moved into my brain like an unwanted backpacker. Just the opening line. ‘Here I go, here I go, here I go again. Girls, what’s my weakness? Men!’ Granted, it’s not exactly Shakespeare, but then again old Willy never really produced

anything to which you could truly get your groove on. (Try dancing to Macbeth and you’ll see exactly what I mean.) As lyrics go, however, the opening lines of ‘Shoop’ are pretty much genius. Unambiguous and playful, they set up the next three minutes perfectly.

As great as it is as a piece of writing, it’s not the kind of stuff

that should burst out of your mouth without due warning. Granted, in the sanctity of your own home, you can sing those lines as loudly as you please. However, the Great Salt-NPepa Brain Invasion of 2016 is not limited to my place of residence. It continues wherever I am, including work. Frankly, it’s difficult to explain to colleagues waiting to use the

photocopier why it is that you’ve just yelled ‘Girls, what’s my weakness?

Men!’ at great volume while undertaking a single to double sided copy.

Many of them won’t ever have heard of Salt-N-Pepa.

Song lyrics are amazing things.

They can seep into your muscles without you even knowing and leap from deep within your subconscious into broad daylight with no warning.

It happens to me all the time, and not just with Salt-N-Pepa. In fact, it’s commonplace that a random lyric barges into my mind and takes over for a significant period. Sadly, it’s not just good lyrics that have been known to wander aimlessly from whatever dark shadow in which they have lurked for years without causing any trouble to the very front of my mind.

Truth be told, there have been whole weeks of my life during which selected parts of Melissa Tkautz’s ‘Read My Lips’ have completely dominated my thinking. Even as I have stood, appearing to outside world to be engaged in conversation, I was really recalling Melissa’s famous exultation, ‘If you want to wait til later, hands off my detonator.’

Beyond the mere fact of remembering those words, what’s surprising is the frequency with which they return to me. I dare say that I think about those lyrics more often than Melissa Tkautz does. It’s no secret that in times of crisis, I often recall the words of the song ‘Cock-eyed Optimist’ from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific. Don’t be surprised if, when all around are panicking and losing their collective cool, you see

my lips moving to form the words, ‘I’m stuck like a dope with a thing called hope and I can’t get it out of my head!’

Oddly, when travelling on the number 67 tram, I think of the tune that Spiderbait’s Kram once described as the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ of football songs; Mike Brady’s ‘Up There Cazaly’. It’s the bit where Mike declares ‘Me, I like football, and there’s a lot of things around. But when you line them up together, the footy wins hands down’ that comes to me just as I’m starting to nod off against the window. At least we owned the single. That and Chuck Berry’s ‘My Ding-a-ling’ are the only singles I remember my father bringing home from work. Perhaps I should be grateful that it’s ‘Up There Cazaly’ and not ‘My Ding-a-ling’ I recall.

I don’t resent the fact that Salt-NPepa are presently squatting in my mind. My only worry is the space they’ll undoubtedly take up. (Spindarella’s wheels of steel take up more room than you may imagine.) It would be a shame if, for example, I could remember the lyrics to ‘Shoop’ and not my pin number. I doubt my ability to convincingly bring the rhyme would be much assistance to the dumbfounded teenager staffing the checkout as I attempt to purchase groceries using nothing more than my microphone skills. But there’s little point sitting around worrying about something that may never happen.

Instead, I think I better Shoop. www.stuartmccullough.com

Magpies finish on top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point finished the MPCA Provincial cricket home and away season on top of the ladder after recording a comfortable victory against Moorooduc on Saturday.

The Magpies will host Baxter in the first semi-final this weekend.

In the other big match over the weekend, Peninsula Old Boys and Somerville will go head to head for the second time in as many weeks when they clash in the second of the semi-finals.

Baxter maintained its position in the top four despite going down to Pines.

The loser over the weekend was Langwarrin, who had a chance to grab fourth place with a win against Mt Eliza. However, the Kangas couldn’t get the job done and finished

a game outside the top bracket.

Sorrento tried everything that it could to get an outright win against Rye. It took 15 wickets for the day but it still wasn’t enough to pickup the additional eight points. The Sharks finished four points behind Baxter.

In the match of the round, Peninsula Old Boys won the toss and batted first against Somerville, making 200 in their 40 overs.

Wade Pelzer opened with 41, Will Crowder was solid through the middle of the inning with 50 and Glenn Prendergast hit 35.

Brenton Alp was the pick of the Somerville bowlers, taking 3/44.

The Eagles started slowly and were 2/35 at one point before skipper Leigh Lowry came to the crease and hit an unbeaten 85 and Justin Allsop provided terrific support with 35.

Somerville got the runs (7/205) with three overs to spare.

Langwarrin had Mt Eliza on the ropes at 3/22, however, 57 from Keith Briggs and 25 from keeper Tim Clark helped propel the visitors to 9/165 in its 40 overs. It was enough to defend.

Travis Campbell top scored for the Kangas with 53 in reply and Simon McEvoy opened with 31, however, no other players made a serious contribution to the scoreboard.

Langwarrin was bowled out for 139 in the 39th over.

Nick Baron was the star for the Mounties with 5/27 from 9.4 overs.

The Mounties won four of their last five matches of the season.

Rye batted its full 40 overs against Sorrento with Justin King hitting 50 and Tom Baron 36.

Sorrento then made 2/143 in 16 overs with Leigh Poholke hitting 55

and Anthony Blackwell 45.

In the final 24 overs of the day, Rye made 5/40. CJ King took 3/7 from five overs.

Baxter will be looking for a much better performance in its semi-final than what it produced on Saturday against Pines.

Daniel Warwick top scored in his team’s total of 136, while Dale Irving hit 32.

Debutant Connor Jackson was the pick of the Pines’ bowlers with 4/8 from 2.3 overs.

Pines scored 7/137 with one over to spare.

Rhys Chalkley top scored for the Piners with 46 and Harley PeaceStirling contributed 42.

Baxter opening batsman Todd Quinn was thrown the cherry and responded with 3/15.

Long Island welcomed the return

of Michael Burke for the first time this season against Mornington and the champ responded with a gamehigh 75. Peter Connell contributed 30 of the team’s 141 runs in 40 overs.

The Islanders then bowled out the Dogs for 117.

Semi Finals Crib Point and Baxter met in Round 8 in the second match after Christmas. Baxter lost outright.

Baxter batted first and was rolled for 88 in 30.1 overs.

Jacob Cook was the destroyer with 6/43 and Glenn Barclay picked up 3/37.

Crib Point then made 9/192 with Ricky Thompson top scoring with 45.

Baxter was bowled out in its second innings for an embarrassing 53. Cook claimed 3/24 and Brad Davidson chipped in with 4/14 from 12.4 overs.

Teams blow their chances DISTRICT

By IT Gully HEATHERHILL and Seaford both blew their opportunities to sneak into the MPCA District top four on Saturday.

In the final round of the season, Flinders, Seaford and the Hills were all equal on 72 points.

Flinders seemed to have the easiest of tasks playing Seaford Tigers, while the Hills hosted Mt Martha and Seaford had the tough task of playing the best in the business in Red Hill.

Most eyes were on the Sharks and the Hills to see who would win and grab that fourth place.

However, there were also some eyes down at Carrum for the relegation match against Boneo.

Boneo cruised to victory, won its

final two games of the season and in doing so sent Carrum into Sub District.

The reality is that all three teams lost and the ladder, with Flinders in fourth place, remained unchanged.

So the semi finals this weekend will be between neighbours Red Hill and Flinders at the Showgrounds while Pearcedale will host Baden Powell at the Panthers’ den.

In good news for the finals, Baden Powell was able to turn around their horror run and win very comfortably against Main Ridge.

The win will give the Braves plenty of confidence after batting first and making 8/145, thanks largely to 80 runs from Tommy Wood. After scores of 3, 3 and 1 previously, the Braves would have welcomed the return of form for Wood.

Oliver McEnroe finished the season

on a real high for the Ridge, snaring 4/45 from his 10 overs, including a hatrick.

The Braves then rolled the Ridge for 104 in 34.2 overs.

Heatherhill couldn’t get the job done against Mt Martha.

The Hills won the toss and batted first and Kristian Miller got them away to a flier with 50 runs. However, he received little support until Jordan Creely (37) came to the crease.

The score of 9/138 appeared to be defendable.

The Reds made the runs (7/141) with six overs to spare.

Seaford was always up against it against Red Hill, however, would have given themselves a real chance when they bowled out the Hillmen for 148 in the final over.

However, Glenn Collett was at his

damaging best for the Hillmen and carved through the Seaford batting line up, taking 4/28 from 10 overs.

Simon Dart was also on song with 3/14 from five overs.

Delacombe Park just didn’t score enough runs to trouble Pearcedale.

The Parkers batted first but were bowled out for just 115 in the 37th over.

Shayne Gillings was superb for the Panthers with 5/32 and Sam Frawley and Kaine Smith snared two wickets each.

Pearcedale then scored the runs with four overs to spare. Max Blackburn top scored with 35 and Brad Trotter helped himself to 33.

Andrew Stapleton claimed 3/34 for Delacombe.

In other matches, Boneo sent Carrum to Sub District after scoring

9/152 in its 40 overs. Cam Williams top scored with 42 and skipper Ryan Jellie hit 35.

The Pandas then bowled out Carrum for 138. Josh Dent scored 39 for the Lions.

Semi Finals Red Hill scored 303 against Flinders in their home and away match in Round 8.

Simon Dart top scored for the Hillmen with 108.

In reply, Andrew Power hit 82 to help the Sharks get to 241, a loss of almost 60 runs.

Pearcedale and Baden Powell met in the same round.

The Panthers recorded a solid victory after Max Blackburn top scored with 77.

Baden Powell was bowled out for 185 with Chris Dew snaring 7/42 for the Panthers.

Walk in the park: Carrum Downs did the job over Ballam Park with 13 overs to spare.

Not enough: Ballam Park batted their 40 overs for 129 runs, but it wasn’t enough for a win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

By IT Gully DROMANA will play Frankston YCW and Hastings will host Rosebud in the two MPCA Sub District semi finals this weekend.

As predicted last week, despite Carrum Downs being a mathematical chance of playing finals leading into the final round, Rosebud was never going to lose to Skye and that proved to be the case.

While the Buds won comfortably and finished in third place, the same can’t be said for the Blues.

Hastings was beaten by top of the table Dromana, meaning it hasn’t beaten a top four team this season.

Going into a sudden death final this week, Hastings have won just one of its past four matches. Suffice to say they have limped into the finals.

On Saturday against the rampaging Dromana, Hastings were wobbly early losing 3/26, before Timmy Birch (53) and Luke Hewitt gave their bowlers a target to defend (132).

Dromana’s Jack Fowler made that very difficult however, hitting 69 while Mark Whitehead provided solid support with 32, scoring 4/134 in 37 overs.

Mitch Floyd removed Darren Kerr for one and the Hoppers were 1/1 at that stage, however, by the time Fowler went out, the score had pushed along to 100.

MPCA star Jason Mathers rescued Rosebud in its win against Skye.

Mathers came to the crease with his side in some strife at 4/28, however, hit an unbeaten 63 and together with Peter Doughty, helped their side to 6/151.

Brian Doughty then did the damage with the ball with 4/38 while Jason Nagel chipped-in with 3/26 to bowl out Skye for 101 in 32.2 overs.

Frankston YCW didn’t fly into the finals as it would have hoped, going down to Balnarring.

The Stonecats batted first and seemed to set a winnable target with the red hot Lai Leaunoa hitting 80 and fellow opener Sammy Preston hitting 33. Jack Greenwood and Jason Bedford then opened the shoulders and helped the Stonecats to a good total of 7/179.

However, Balnarring wanted to finish the season on a high and skipper Brenton Taylor led the way with 76 while Tyler Wilton contributed 47. The Saints reached 5/183 with three overs to spare.

Carrum Downs did the job over Ballam Park with 13 overs to spare.

The Knights batted their 40 overs for 129 runs with Zac Clements top scoring with 43.

Leon McConnell then opened with a quickfire 78 to help Carrum Downs to 5/131 in 27 overs.

In the final match of the final round, Tootgarook (9/145) was too strong for Tyabb (9/143).

Semi Finals Dromana and Rosebud will head into this weekend’s semi finals as favorites.

However, one of Dromana’s rare losses this season came at the hands of the Stonecats in Round five.

The Stonecats hit 7/169 batting first before bowling out the Hoppers for just 86.

Just last weekend, Hastings lost to Rosebud in a reverse outright.

The Blues batted first and made 120 before bowling out Rosebud for 99. The Buds then bundled out the Blues in their second innings for 38 before getting home with 2/60 in their second innings.
