Rudd and Howard on the hustings THE federal election campaign was only a few days’ old when Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the man he replaced in 2007, John Howard, journeyed to our region to fly the flag for their respective political parties. Mr Rudd was here on Friday to support Labor’s Dunkley electorate candidate Sonya Kilkenny during a visit to Langwarrin Park Primary School, and Mr Howard was in Frankston the day before for sitting Dunkley MP Bruce Billson’s campaign launch. Dunkley, which stretches from Seaford to Mornington, will be a key seat as the Tony Abbott-led Opposition attempts to oust the Kevin Rudd-led Labor Party. The first of Mr Billson’s promises is outlined below while on Page 5 is Toni Brient’s story about the day Kevin Rudd and more than 50 media people plus government minders brought the election circus to Langwarrin Park primary.

Youth hub poll promise By Mike Hast DUNKLEY MP Bruce Billson has promised $800,000 for a youth centre in Mornington if the Coalition wins government. The money will go toward Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s proposed $1.2 million renovation of half an old classroom block at the former Mornington Secondary College in Wil-

sons Rd near Peninsula Community Theatre. The eastern half of the block was renovated in 2010 and 2011 by Rotary club members from Somerville-Tyabb, Hastings Western Port, Mornington, Mt Martha, Dromana, Rosebud, Rye and Sorrento with assistance from shire officers, councillors and peninsula businesses. It became the new home of Radio

Port Phillip, the region’s community station, and was the shire’s first “community capital project”, costing about $400,000. Mr Billson said “Mornington will get what Hastings and Rosebud already have … a new hub for council and community youth services”. He said the 1950s building would be “transformed into a dedicated youth hub to cater for the needs … of the

growing youth population of Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha”. “This commitment recognises that the northern peninsula needs a dedicated facility and service centre for our youth to support the work of the shire council’s youth service team and the many community organisations and selfless individuals who … support our young people to reach their full potential.”

Mr Billson said the shire’s young citizen of the year, Sam Hearn, “an impressive young man who has dedicated his life to supporting disadvantaged young people, has emphasised the need for the hub to be a welcoming place where young people can access the encouragement and pastoral care of skilled and experience people who care for their development”.

Government calls for pier tenders By Mike Hast THE state government has called for tenders to replace the condemned, outside section of Mornington pier. Replacement of the 75-metre long section will cost at least $13.5 million, allocated by the government last year. Work is expected to start later this year and be completed in late 2014, subject to weather and contractor availability. The value of the project is likely to see pier contractors from far and wide submit tenders. Mornington MP David Morris said the design for the outer section and wave protection would ensure “this iconic pier will continue to provide a destination for the residents and visitors to Mornington for many years”. The last of 74 concrete wave panels was fitted to the rebuilt middle section on Thursday 1 August (“Pier wave panels installed”, The News, 6/8/13). “With those works complete, we are now able to progress the final stage of the Mornington pier upgrade, which includes rebuilding the outer section of the pier, wave screens and low landing,” Mr Morris said. Minister for Ports David Hodgett said it was great to see the project moving to the next stage. “Investing in our local ports is important; they are vital to the state’s economy and liveability. This project highlights the importance of our local ports and their contribution to the state’s commercial fishing, recreational boating, tourism and related industries,” he said. Parks Victoria said the new section would “remain on its historical alignment

and have a timber deck supported by steel piles and concrete sub-structure”. “The northern side of the pier has, in part, been stepped back in response to site conditions – rock placed on the sea floor in years gone by,” a spokesman said. “Wave screen panels will be similar to those installed on the middle section. The pier deck ramps up about level with the top of the wave screen panels, with the effect of maintaining views across Port Phillip. “A low landing, sitting 1.5 metres above low tide level, will improve access for boats using the pier and [enable] divers to access under the pier. “A gentle ramp will connect the low level landing with the pier, complying with design accessibility standards.” Ladders would be fitted on the harbour side as well as seats, lights, signs about the pier’s history and a navigation light near the end of the pier.

Iron stone paving at the start of the pier would be repaired. Contractors have been test drilling near the end of the pier to ascertain the depth piles will need to be pushed into the seabed. The News understands piles will be up to 40 metres long. Earlier this year, Mornington Yacht Club’s Kevin Donnellan said the new pier and its wave screens would protect about 70 per cent of the harbour. Providing 100 per cent protection would require the construction of a new “arm” connected to the end of the existing pier, a version of which has existed for more than 150 years. There is no money budgeted for this and how and exactly where it will be constructed remains undecided. The yacht club has been trying for more than 30 years to make the harbour safe from northerly storms.

A plan: Dunkley federal MP Bruce Billson, left, and young citizen of the year Sam Hearn discuss restoring disused classrooms at the old Mornington Secondary College site in Wilsons Rd.

Billsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth hub poll promise Continued from Page 1 Mr Billson said he recently met Mr Hearn, who had just returned from volunteer community work in Uganda, to discuss how the Mornington youth hub could best support young people on the northern peninsula. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need our communities to be neighbourhoods of hope that value, nurture, protect and empower young people,â&#x20AC;? Mr Hearn said. He said the hub would enable more young people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;experience positive

and meaningful relationshipsâ&#x20AC;? and would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;of great benefit to families and young peopleâ&#x20AC;?. Dick Cox of Somerville-Tyabb Rotary, who led the RPP project and chairs the renovation committee for the second half, said stage two was renovating the former classroom block toilets and storage areas for Mornington Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shed. He said the shire had allocated $450,000 for the project with $100,000 in the budget this year for the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

shed area renovation and to weatherproof the unrenovated classrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The promise from Mr Billson is fantastic news and will allow the renovation to move at a faster rate,â&#x20AC;? he said. The renovation committee comprises Rotary members, one of whom is a licensed builder; menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shed representatives; the three Briars Ward councillors, Andrew Dixon, Bev Colomb and Anne Shaw; and senior shire officers Rob Macindoe, Robin Adams and David Hampton.

K-Rudd zips in to back ALP’s Dunkley push By Toni Brient HE recently referred to himself as the “the glasses-wearing kid in the library”, but Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s reception at Langwarrin Park Primary School on Friday was more akin to that of a rock star. Flanked by Labor party “minders” and school officials, Mr Rudd arrived in a government vehicle to a group of waiting children chanting his name. At least 50 media people looked on as Langwarrin Park principal Ray Flanagan welcomed Mr Rudd and local ALP candidate Sonya Kilkenny to a school full of visibly star-struck pupils and teachers on the fifth day of the federal election campaign. Mr Rudd’s appearance in Dunkley followed a visit on Thursday by former Liberal PM John Howard, accompanying sitting Liberal MP Bruce Billson on a day of campaigning in one of the nation’s most marginal seats. Ms Kilkenny – a lawyer, mother of a young son and Seaford resident – has been busy in the community during the election campaign, appearing at shopping centres in addition to using Facebook, Twitter and an iPhone app to connect with constituents. Her official campaign launch was held at Frankston’s Long Island Golf Club on Thursday night. Mr Rudd’s visit gathered huge attention, not only from national media outlets but also in the community. The crowd size was impressive given the news of Mr Rudd’s visit only reached the electorate late on Thursday. “We only found out that he was coming yesterday afternoon,” school captain Kaytlan Gray said.

Key seat: Kevin Rudd and Langwarrin pupils bash out a tune during the PM’s visit to the marginal seat of Dunkley. Below right, a Bruce Billson billboard was repeatedly driven past the school during Mr Rudd’s visit. Pictures: Gary Sissons

“When we told our class, no one believed us,” school captain Mitch Charles said. “They only believed us when Mr Flanagan made an announcement; then they were really excited.” Mr Flanagan and the school captains escorted Mr Rudd as he made his way through the school’s corridors very slowly, partly because he left no small hand unshaken and partly because the media frenzy surrounding him prevented anything faster than shuffling. A light was almost broken by one TV crew’s boom microphone, while Canberra photojournalist Mike Bowers growled at a few cameramen for almost hitting children’s heads with their equipment. But it was the smaller cameras Mr Rudd clearly focused on, obliging anyone who asked for one of his famous “selfies”.

It seemed the common school rule banning the use of mobile phones was temporarily lifted. There was some discussion among students about starting a “hashtag” on photo-sharing network Instagram to track the photographs. “My friends were actually talking about ‘#selfiewithKevin’ last night,” Kaytlan Gray said. Mr Rudd held Prep class chickens, listened to music performances by pupils, and watched grade six students tutor younger pupils. But according to the school, it was business as usual. “We didn’t do anything different,” Mr Flanagan said. “It was just a normal Friday morning. The only thing we did differently was that [the media] couldn’t film in the music room so we pulled our bands out into the foyer.”

The media-savvy PM was careful to reiterate Labor’s contribution to the school’s recent refurbishments. “This is the library that we built, is it?” Mr Rudd asked Mr Flanagan more than once, referring to the government’s 2012 Building the Education Revolution scheme, which helped the school to overhaul its main buildings. “We modified about a dozen classrooms and we also built that library and computer lab,” Mr Flanagan said. Mr Flanagan said he was thrilled with the government’s new Better Schools (previously Gonski) funding plan, which will provide $6.8 million to Victorian schools. “This school should receive an extra $3.8 million over the next six years as a result of this new investment,” Mr Rudd told the media in a press conference broadcast live from the school’s library. “That helps provide more one-onone attention for kids whether they are littlies who might be having a bit of a problem with their literacy and numeracy or kids who are being held back a

bit because they are bursting with energy and enthusiasm to learn things.” The Better Schools plan was highlighted by Ms Kilkenny as a priority for Dunkley. She did not discuss any other local initiatives, and instead told The News that education was her primary concern for the campaign. “A very important issue [for locals] is education and that’s why I was so pleased that we could get the Prime Minister down for the day to one of our schools,” she said. Although the Coalition has indicated it would honour any agreements reached by the current government under the Better Schools plan, Ms Kilkenny suggested the funding may not be secure. “Our kids down here in Dunkley deserve 100 per cent commitment to Better Schools. That’s what I’m out here fighting for.” Ms Kilkenny was expected to address the media in the press conference, but journalists’ questions for Mr Rudd ran overtime and, as usual, he had to “zip”.

Quarry watchers fear shire sell-off By Keith Platt RESIDENTS have been watching the slow march of nature reclaiming habitat in what was once an explosive industrial site – the Mt Martha quarry. Peregrine falcons use the exposed rock faces as nesting sites while whitefaced herons prowl among puddles for tadpoles and frogs. However, the fenced-off quarry is seen as an “asset” by Mornington Peninsula Shire, land that can be sold and developed. Until a few months ago, the shire had allowed the quarry on the Esplanade between Mt Martha and Safety Beach to be used as storage for rocks and soil

destined to combat erosion at McCrae. But now it has been cleaned up and nearby residents fear the council is again about to try to rezone and sell the land. Property and valuations manager Yasmin Woods on Friday said the shire had not yet “resolved the method of sale and is currently investigating development density before rezoning the land is considered”. Quarrying was discontinued in 1987 and in 2003 the shire sought a rezoning for residential development. Residents became alarmed and launched strong opposition under the banner of the Stanley Cres and Surrounding Streets Association. The as-

sociation was formed in 1997 to fight a council proposal to levy properties for roadmaking costs. The shire was forced to back down, although Stanley Crescent was surfaced years later when a real estate developer contributed toward its cost. The association then turned its attention to the quarry, last November staging a rally outside its gates demanding that the shire turn it into a nature reserve. In 2003 the association paid for a town planner to represent it at a state government-appointed panel hearing. The panel recommended the shire abandon its planning amendment. “The council refused to do this and

Quarry worries: Mt Martha residents last November showed their growing concern that the shire is again looking at selling the disputed site. Their concerns remain with the sale still on Mornington Peninsula Shire’s drawing board.

that amendment has lapsed because the council did not act on it within the required three years,” association secretary Jenni Wadsworth said. Members of the association say councillors do not seem to know what is happening. At a recent meeting with the three Briars Ward councillors, they were given answers ranging from “nothing’s happening” to “it’s all decided and gone to tender” to “expressions of interest called for” and “we will keep a watching brief”. Ms Wadsworth said shire CEO Michael Kennedy assured them that whatever happened “it won’t be something we’re unhappy with”.

“It is clear we need to keep alert and vigilant if we want to ensure that we don’t end up with inappropriate development in the area,” Ms Wadsworth said. “Our wish is that it is retained as open land and restored as a low-key nature reserve with wetlands for birds and frogs.” The association has set up a Friends of Mt Martha Quarry Facebook page and had been given a concept design for a nature reserve on the site by Jim Macarthur, of Ti-Tree Building Designs. The group will hold its annual general meeting at 2pm Saturday 17 August. For more information call Kate Michael on 5988 4390.

A FOUR-year disability action plan for the peninsula is aimed at improving accessibility, says Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden. The plan lists “key actions” as:  Expanding the shire’s dial-a-bus service to provide transport for older, socially disadvantaged residents.  Working toward new website accessibility standards.  Investigating facilities, programs and support services to assist young people with a disability to access afterschool and vacation care.  Create a resource guide to support people with a disability and carers. “With one in four people living with a disability, the plan provides an opportunity for improving accessibility across the shire for residents and visitors,” Cr Bowden said.

Tall ships on the horizon By Mike Hast EIGHT tall ships sail into Port Phillip in early September for the Melbourne International Tall Ship Festival. Mornington Peninsula residents will have the best seats in the house as the ships enter The Heads and sail up the South Channel, turning toward Melbourne at Hovell Pile just a few hundred metres off the end of Rosebud pier. It will be the largest fleet of tall ships to visit Melbourne since the bicentenary in 1988. Lord Nelson will be first to arrive on 6 September after sailing from the United Kingdom via Fremantle to the festival site at Williamstown. She will be followed next day by three Dutch ships â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Europa, Oosterschelde and Tecla â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the Netherlands via Fremantle and Adelaide. On 8 September, KRI Dewaruci arrives from Indonesia via Fremantle, Young Endeavour from Sydney and Windeward Bound from Hobart, to be joined next day by Soren Larsen from Sydney. They will be joined by Melbourne-based Enterprize. The fleet leaves Melbourne for festivals in Hobart, Sydney and Auckland at 10am on Saturday 14 September and is expected to anchor overnight off Capel Sound between Rosebud West and Tootgarook before sailing through The Heads at high tide on Sunday 15. Some ships are selling berths on the voyage to Melbourne and there will be day trips on Thursday 12 September. David Wharington, a peninsula resident and founding member of Tall Ships Victoria, said Lord Nelson would likely attract the most attention as it was designed to be sailed by people with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually about half the crew have disabilities. Lord Nelson has several innovations to cater for this. For example, the steering compass makes a sound so that completely blind people can steer. The bowsprit is wide enough to take a wheelchair,â&#x20AC;? he said.

ships from the northern hemisphere rarely visit Australia. Stephen Moss, president of the Australian Sail Training Association said, it would be the largest gathering of tall ships in Australia and New Zealand for a generation. The Melbourne festival is a joint venture of Tall Ships Victoria, Seaworks Foundation, Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, the Victorian sailing community and Hobsons Bay City Council. At least five ships will be berthed at Seaworks. ď Ž For more information, visit Tall Ships Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.tallshipsvictoria.org www.melbournetallships2013.yachting.org.au www.seaworks.com.au For more information on how to join a voyage, visit www.tallshipfestival2013.com

Health network accredited Port Phillip-bound: Dutch tall ship Oosterschelde is among eight vessels coming for the Melbourne International Tall Ship Festival next month. Picture: Tall Ships Victoria

The genesis of the Melbourne festival as well as similar events between July and October in Fremantle, Adelaide, Hobart, Sydney and Auckland was when the Royal Australian Navy invited 50 nations to send warships and tall ship to Sydney for the International Fleet Review in October to commemorate the centenary of the first entry of the RANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleet into Sydney. About 40 warships and 20 tall ships will participate. Tall Ships Victoria president Peter Harris, who is also in charge of the restoration of Alma Doepel at Victoria Harbour in Melbourne, said tall

PENINSULA Health has â&#x20AC;&#x153;come through with flying coloursâ&#x20AC;? and been accredited under the new National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards. State Health Minister David Davis said Peninsula Health underwent a mid-cycle survey examination in May â&#x20AC;&#x153;and the report confirmed it met all the requirements of the survey and maintained its accreditation status until the next assessmentâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Davis said â&#x20AC;&#x153;stellar resultsâ&#x20AC;? included patient-centred care; multi-disciplinary teamwork; energetic and innovative culture; leadership that was evident at every level; and an extensive program of consumer involvement; and dedication to patients. Key indicators assessed for accreditation range from infection prevention, patient identification and managing pressure injuries to medication safety, clinical handover and responding to clinical deterioration.

John Carson ready for Kokoda Trail adventure MANY of our patients will have met our new senior Australian GP, Dr John Carson who practises in our clinic from time to time. John has more than 35 years of experience as a GP and also works with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. John is in training to walk the Kokoda Trail later this year, in support of the RACGP Foundation, which supports important research and medical projects that will assist GPs in making better decisions about patient health and create a healthier future for all Australians. “I train six days a week,” John said. “I do five days of climbing the 1000 steps. It now takes me

20 minutes to climb to the top of the Eureka Tower building.And I can do it three times in a row. At nearly 70.” It is all about fun and determination. “If you cannot join the trek, join the spirit. I am doing this because I believe in the RACGP; I believe in the spirit of Australia and I believe in myself.” John is working toward his goal of raising $3500. He is currently over $1000.

PeninsulaPets Something for your pet to smile about EIGHTY per cent of dogs show signs of oral disease by the age of three. It’s one of the most common problems presented at vets and can lead to pain and other health issues for your pet. That’s why it’s Dental Month at Best Friends Pet Care Centre and the Our Vet clinic at Peninsula Homemaker Centre. Stinky “doggy” breath, loss of appetite, changes in feeding behaviour and inflamed gums can all be signs that your pet’s oral hygiene needs some attention.

The new Our Vet full service veterinary clinic is offering free dental checks for your cat, dog or rabbit. Included in the dental check is a VetMap report for you to take home, which covers the complete dental health of your pet. You will also get advice and vouchers for the right diet to improve your dog’s or cat’s oral hygiene. Bookings for these free appointments are essential and only available Monday to Friday. Call 5971 0655 to book your pet’s free dental check. Plus, as a complimentary service during Dental Month, all dogs groomed at the Best Friends Salon in August will be given a free dental check.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Mornington in protest over train service, councillors lobby for bridge Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 16 August 1913. FOR some time, dissatisfaction has been expressed in Mornington with the inadequate local train service, and a petition is being prepared for presentation to the Minister of Railways. It is probable that a public meeting will also be held. It is felt that the present railway arrangements are a serious handicap to the progress of the town. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, Major Campbell, representing the users of the main Melbourne Road, asked the Council to approach the Dandenong Shire, with a view to having the approaches to the Carrum bridge metalled and properly screened, and he was empowered to offer £5 towards the cost of the work. Cr Ritchie said the offer was a liberal one, and he moved that the Council co-operate with the users of the road, and ask the Dandenong Council to effect repairs. Cr Cole seconded the motion, and it was carried. *** MR D. Edelsten, optician, will visit Mornington on Monday 18th and will be pleased to meet clients at the Pharmacy, Main Road, from 10 to 4. *** SKATING has again revived in Mornington. There was a splendid attendance at the rink on Saturday night last. *** MR J. Nott Marsh returned to Frankston on Thursday, after an extensive business trip to Tasmania. *** THE secretary of the Frankston Foot-

ball Club acknowledges with thanks a donation of £1 1s towards the club from Mr H. Garrodd. *** THE secretary of the bazaar in aid of the Frankston Brass Band will be pleased to receive donations of any description in aid of the bazaar, to be held in September. *** MR C. Graves, commission agent, of Mornington, is on a three weeks’ tour at Swan Hill, in the Northern District. *** MR Walter Jennings will sing “Love is Waiting,” by special request, at the Frankston Choral Society’s concert on mid-August 30. *** WE are sorry to inform our readers that Miss Morris, head teacher of the Moorooduc State School, has been confined to her bed for a few days, owing to a severe cold. *** MR D. P. Cain notifies by advertisement that he will make weekly trips to and from Melbourne and Frankston, when he will undertake carrying of every description. *** THE meeting day of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council was again altered on Thursday, 7th inst., when, on the motion of Crs Hodgins and Cole, the first Thursday in the month was fixed. *** MR George Thornell, late of Somerville, retired nurseryman, left real estate valued at £2,300 and personal property valued at £265 to his children. *** “IF you can’t get the levels for your

footpath fixed, apply to the Council, and if no option is taken in two months do the work yourself, and if the Council interferes tell them to go and have a bath!” - Mr M. Clements’ advice to ratepayers. *** MR C. P. Watson, manager of the Frankston branch of the State Savings Bank, has been granted a fortnight’s leave of absence. During his absence his place will be taken by Mr McNalty. *** MR G. H. Blunden, of Frankston, has disposed of his bakery business to Mr Grant, and by advertisement in another column thanks all Frankston residents for their kindness and patronage, and hopes that the same will be extended to his successor. *** MR Sambell, engineer to the shire of Frankston and Hastings, addressed a meeting of ratepayers in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall on Thursday evening. There was a fair attendance, and Mr Sambell’s outline of the scheme, and his report on work done so far, was listened to attentively. A full report will appear next issue. *** THE delegates appointed from the Mornington, Osborne, and Moorooduc State Schools committees, in conjunction with the Loyal Celebration League delegates, decided, on last Tuesday evening, to apply to the Railway Department for a special excursion train to the Zoological Gardens on Wednesday, 12th November, the train to leave Mornington at 8 a.m. and return at 7.30 p.m. In all probability the fares will be 3s 6d for adults and 1s 1d for children. The guarantee required by the Department of £21 10s

before a special train can be chartered has been kindly offered by Mr Blair (the Mornington delegate.) *** THE advertisement social, held under the auspice of the Ladies’ Guild, on Monday evening, proved to be a very successful and enjoyable entertainment. The form of social was something new for this district, and was very interesting and amusing. There were about sixty pictorial advertisements, with all reading matter detached or covered over, hung round the walls of the hall and all those present were give a sheet of card on which to write down, after guessing, the name of the firm that the advertisement represented. The prize was a handsome E P. ware jam dish, and competitors strained all their powers of knowledge for the hour and a half allowed in which to guess as many as they possibly could. After this was over, a very enjoyable supper, which had been provided by the ladies, was handed round, and then songs and dancing was kept up till the early hours. Musical items were rendered by Miss I. Cole, piano solo; Mrs Woodhouse, song; Mr H. Schmidt, comic song; Misses V. Cole and L. Slocombe, duet. *** WE extend to Mr James Grant and family our sympathy in the sad bereavement they have been called to bear in the loss of Mrs Grant at the age of 44 years. Mrs Grant for some time past has been a great sufferer and her end was not unexpected. The funeral left the residence of Mr H. Gumble, the undertaker, on Sunday last, at 3.30 o’clock, for the Frankston cemetery, where he Rev Robert Jackson conducted the burial service in place

of the Rev Mr Butchers, who was unavoidably absent. There was a very large attendance of local residents, the deceased having been long known and respected in the district. *** A VERY successful concert was given by the Church of England members and their friends on Friday last in the local Mechanics’ Hall. The weather was very wet all the evening, and that had the effect of keeping many away who would otherwise have been present. Rev Mr Eva was in the chair, and a very lengthy programme was rendered. Supper was served at interval time. The first part was contributed by our local and visiting friends. Mr and Mrs Reed sang concertedly, and Mrs Reed and Miss D. Unthank rendered a duet. *** IN our last issue we mentioned that Messrs T. R B Morton and Son would hold a sale at Boneo on the 29th inst., on behalf of Mr Cain. It should have read, on behalf of Mr L. L. Jensen, at Cain’s farm, Boneo. *** MISS Gallivan, the postmistress at Frankston, leaves on Monday for a month’s holiday. During her absence, Mr Percy, of the relieving staff will take charge of the office. *** A FOOTBALL match will be played at Frankston this afternoon between teams representing the Frankston band and the Frankston Football Club. The Frankston juniors journey to Mornington to try conclusions with the locals.

D& ENTERTAINMENT ʔʦLȫɏ

A morning star in our midst By Haydn Godony MORNING Star Estate restaurant is well known as a desired destination for special moments. In February, owner Judy Barrett re-assumed dayto-day control and now offers a more family-friendly eatery, consciously priced to suit. “Our menu is seasonally led and includes as much of Morning Star Estate’s produce as possible, including olives, quinces, lemons, grapes and lots of herbs,” executive chef Richard Keane said. “We are not necessarily a special occasion venue, although we can be, but we also want people to feel comfortable calling in for a dessert and a coffee any time. We are conscious of keeping everything at a friendly price point. “A lot of dishes feature a modern twist on old classics – combinations of favourite flavours, done a little differently. “I like to eat and I enjoy cooking French and Italian – soul food, slow cooked with a lot of love.” Popular mains include the organic, Otways-sourced pork belly, which is steam-baked overnight and then pressed and portioned. Following a brief pan-searing, skin

down to create crackling, the pork is coated with a honey-wine glaze, then partnered with pear and parsnip puree. Matching the meat’s richness, with a contrast of sweet and tart, softly jussimmered shitake mushrooms share the plate. The garnish is red radish, grilled witlof and fresh herbs ($26). The entree tuna is rolled in cracked pepper, sea salt and lemon zest prior to being quickly seared and then rechilled prior to serving thinly sliced. The accompanying panzanala salad contains white anchovies, garlic croutons, torn witlof, fried capers, slow-dried cherry tomatoes and a dollop of gribiche sauce $18. The four-item children’s menu includes a minute steak with fries and seasonal greens $14. Lunch is from Wednesday to Sunday, dinner Friday and Saturday. High tea is available on Sunday afternoons. A Feast and Field festival will feature 5-6 October. Morning Star restaurant is in Sunnyside Rd, Mt Eliza. Call 9787 7760 for more information. Soul food: Morning Star Estate’s executive chef Richard Keane.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)

By Stuart McCullough

The (mostly) true story of how I challenged a bride to a duel By Stuatr McCullough I SUPPOSE I’d gotten used to it. After several decades with the same name, a simple keystroke error means that I am Stuart no more. It was a mistake that, once made, could never be undone. I was reading something on the internet when a message popped up and informed me that if wanted to continue, I would have to log on. Perplexed, I pushed a button and was informed in no uncertain terms that I was not a registered user. Fearing either deportation or having my kneecaps broken, I entered my contact details in the hope that this would cure my illegal status. There was nary a moment to lose. Nervous seconds passed as the computer contemplated whether to accept my plea for clemency before a message appeared: “Welcome Stuatr.” With the damage well and truly done, there was little I could do but accept the facts as they were. There were no grounds for protest or correction. It was as good as carved in stone. In my haste, I had managed to misspell my own name and there was no going back. For years I was Stuart. From this point on, I am Stuatr. Every morning I receive an email addressed to my new name. I have even started to answer to my mutated moniker. Truth is, I’m kind of getting used to it. There are, I think, some battles that are well and truly worth fighting. Others, however, invite surrender. It’s time to forsake the old nomenclature and embrace my new identity as Stuatr. Most people only get a new identity after ratting on the mob and in fear of their lives. I should count myself lucky.

Clearly, I’ve got work to do. Already I’ve amended my university degrees using nothing more than an extra-sturdy texta. Next, I plan to take a small strip of masking tape and place it over the front of my credit cards and driving licence. All I need to do now

is convince others to abandon my old name and accept the new. If Cassius Clay can become Muhammed Ali, then surely I can become Stuatr. If that should prove too difficult, I can always adapt. I have no problem providing a little guidance by calling

myself Stuatr (nee Stuart) or, for that matter, the Artist Formerly Known as Stuart. Frankly, I’ve never been that wild about my name anyway. My parents lacked creativity. I would have loved to have had a better, cooler name, like Thor or Snoop Dogg, but it wasn’t to be. Instead, I was lumbered with Stuart, which is far too prone to undignified shortening. “Stu” should only ever be a kind of meal and the less said about the horror that is “Stuballs”, frankly, the better. I find the latter deeply unflattering, but have been subjected to it at moments when I least expected. Not long after I had started seeing Kate, we were invited to the wedding of one of her closest friends, Bec. Actually, it’s more complicated than that. Originally, only Kate had been invited. It was a little too early and I was regarded, if not with suspicion, then certainly as an unknown quantity. However, closer to the big day the situation must have been subject to reappraisal and, all of a sudden, I was invited. My mission was clear. As ever at the early stage of a relationship, it’s important to be able to attend these marquee events without falling over, vomiting or otherwise doing anything else that would have the effect of bringing a fledgling romance to a screeching halt. We had to get to the ceremony on time. This was crucial for a number of reasons, including that Kate was to be giving a reading. At weddings, you need to be quite judicious about where you sit. Too far up the back and you can barely see or hear anything. Sit right up the front and you displace

members of the immediate family who are then likely to gossip about your thoughtlessness for the rest of the evening. We chose somewhere about the middle and near the aisle. The ceremony was lovely and Kate did a great job at the reading, although I would have preferred something from the Bible or some poetry rather than an excerpt from Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, but it was wonderful nevertheless. The bride and groom kissed and the entire room applauded. As the couple walked down the aisle, they were greeted by well-wishers. As someone who was invited by association, I knew to keep a sensible distance. But as the bride passed by, she leaned over and said, “Thanks for coming, Stu-balls”. Outraged, I knocked over several members of the immediate family before inviting the bride to take it outside to the car park. Given that this was a reception centre, the car park was unusually large, meaning that we would be able to stand at opposite ends without the need for any kind of physical confrontation whatsoever. It was probably just as well. Hand-to-hand combat with the bride may have fatally cruelled my chances of getting cake. Ever since that day, I have wanted to change my name. Now, as fate would have it, that’s exactly what’s happened. Given my time over, I would have gone for something a little more exciting, but those with poor typing skills can’t be choosers. But, if nothing else, no one’s ever going to call me “Stuatr-balls”. Thank goodness for that. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Big finish with last round to decide final five PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly THE composition of the final five in Peninsula League will be decided in the final round after round 17 was completed on Saturday. The most important game of round 18 will be Pines versus Mornington. Pines Pythons currently hold fifth place with 36 points and a percentage of 97.56. The Pythons had the opportunity to lock in a finals berth on Saturday but were smashed by Edithvale. Mornington is a game behind Pines on 32 points, but has a superior percentage of 108. It also could have grabbed a place in the five on Saturday but was beaten by Langwarrin. Karingal is on the same points as Mornington, but is two per cent behind (106). Bonbeach (second), EdithvaleAspendale (third) and Mt Eliza (fourth) all secured a finals berth on the weekend. The Sharks will finish in second place after getting the job done against the Bulls, restricting them to just two goals, the second week in succession. Edithvale-Aspendale belted Pines and Mt Eliza backed up its great win against YCW last week with a sixgoal win over Seaford. Bonbeach is on 44 points, while Edi-Asp and Mt Eliza are on 40. This weekend, the Sharks play the

dangerous Langwarrin (although a loss for the Sharks will still see them finish second), Edi-Asp plays Frankston YCW (a team it beat first time around) and Mt Eliza takes on Chelsea. A betting man would say Mt Eliza will end up with the double chance. So it all comes down to the Pines v

Mornington and Karingal v Seaford games. If Mornington scrapes over the line against Pines and Karingal smashes Seaford, the Bulls will sneak into the five. If Mornington and Karingal win by similar margins, the Dogs will get in. If Pines beats Mornington, it will

finish the seasons of the Dogs and the Bulls. Quite simply, the Pythons need to win. Destiny is in their own hands. On Saturday against Edi-Asp, Pines was handed a footy lesson. At half-time the score was 11.4 to 2.4 and the final margin was 99 points, 23.10-148 to 6.13-49. Brent Bowden booted six and Adam Budge four goals for the Eagles, and Troy Ogier, Tim Mannix and Tim Mavric dominated. The Pythons had no answers. Guy Hendry kicked three goals and Jamie Messina and Shaun White worked tirelessly. Despite the result, it was interesting to note that this time last season, the same teams were fighting to see which one would finish with the wooden spoon. Karingal is in no man’s land after being humiliated by Bonbeach. Before the match, Bulls’ coach Brendan Dunne was confident his side could match the Sharks. However, the Bulls were held goalless in the first three quarters and finished with just two for the match. Shane McDonald kicked five for the Sharks, and Corey McQueen booted three. Dylan Jones and Ricky Ferraro had good games. Langwarrin took another big scalp on Saturday, this time knocking over Mornington at the kennel, aka Alexandra Park. With everything on the line for the

Dogs, the Kangas booted seven goals to three in the last quarter to win 16.19-115 to 13.9-87. The Kangas had 11 goalkickers, Luke Damon the major contributor with three. Dan Riley and Michael Parker shone. Jackson Calder booted five goals to be Mornington’s best, and Daniel Moss also worked hard for four quarters. Frankston YCW warmed up for September with 17 goals in the first half and 16 in the second to smack Chelsea 33.20-218 to 8.6-54. Michael Chaplin booted nine and Ricky Morris five while a further 12 players contributed on the scoreboard. Scott McLeod with four goals against his old side, as well as Tony Lester, were among the best players. Fia Tootoo, Ryan Stewart and Joel Connelly, as they have done all season for the Gulls, flew the flag. Mt Eliza booted 10 goals to five in the second half to record an easy victory over Seaford, 17.15-17 to 11.12-78. Scott Lockwood finished the afternoon with four goals and teenager James Freeman kicked three to be arguably best on ground. Rohan Heasley backed up a dominant performance last week with another great game. Dean Kemble and Aaron Walton were among the best of the Tigers, who led at quarter time and trailed by just nine points at the main interval.

Pines triumphant, Baxter hopes for great escape SOCCER By Craig MacKenzie A MOMENT of Luke Atsiaris magic gave Frankston Pines a 2-1 win over Peninsula Strikers in Saturday’s derby at Monterey Reserve. The win gives Pines important breathing space in the race to avoid relegation while leaving Strikers in last spot on the State 3 South-East ladder. The afternoon unfolded with the referee of the reserves match taking exception to being called a “pedantic twat” by a spectator and stopping the game until the bemused villain was escorted from the venue by Pines’ security. And all this while a band of middleaged musicians grabbed some much needed practice in the club’s social rooms, the strains and pains of their endeavours giving this relegation battle a surreal touch. Normality of sorts returned in the 15th minute of the senior clash when Strikers forward Kristian Miller unleashed a dipping volley that clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Near the half-hour mark a superb jinking run by livewire Drew Reid could have given Strikers the lead but his attempt to curl the ball with the outside of his right foot on a soft surface sent it wide of the far post. Ed Southerington pinched the ball from the Strikers defence only to shoot over in the 39th minute and six minutes later a superb smother from Strikers goalkeeper Steve Eleftheriou denied Sam Jennens. Six minutes into the second stanza

the deadlock was broken by a long, low, bouncing shot from Pines midfielder Enes Sivic recently recruited from Victorian Premier League outfit Richmond. Miller pounced on a rare mistake from Pines right back Peter Dimcevski in the 54th minute but rushed his angled shot from the left of the penalty area. Enter CJ Hodgson, replacing Southerington in the 60th minute and what a change that was to prove. Strikers levelled with a fine strike from Reid in the 64th minute, fittingly so for the 21-year-old had an excellent game. But eight minutes later a cheeky

Mornington News 13 August 2013

back-heel from super sub Hodgson allowed Atsiaris to pick his spot and he curled a stunning left-foot strike past Eleftheriou and into the far corner to put Pines back in front. Strikers fans were up and about in the 81st minute but loud claims for a penalty following a clash between Reid and Pines custodian Kris McEvoy were waved away by referee John Stathopoulos. Strikers kept pressing as the minutes ticked away but couldn’t find a way past a Pines defence where the central pairing of Michael McCluskey and Mathew Hodgson is proving tough to break down. Pines travel to Heatherton United

this weekend without Dimcevski, who is suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards, but Mario Rivera and Michael Hoogendyk return to the matchday squad. Baxter’s metamorphosis from cannon fodder to serious competitor in State 5 South will near completion if it beats visitor Endeavour Hills at Baxter Park this weekend for a third straight win. There’s nothing like back-to-back 5-1 triumphs to turn a season around and last Saturday’s away trouncing of Parkmore has given coach Michael Steenbergen’s side the chance to fight its way out of relegation, something no-one thought possible after losing its first 13 games of the season and leaking goals in the process. “We’re playing with a lot more spirit now and an example of that is Harry Liapis who is only a little bloke but he’s got a huge heart and he gives you everything out there,” said Steenbergen. Alex Campbell made his first senior appearance this season and had a fine match in a right-sided midfield role. Baxter’s goals came from Shaun Walker (2), David Popa, Dale Nicholson and Justin Brown and Steenbergen’s side can close the gap on 12th-placed Parkmore when it meets Endeavour Hills at Baxter Park on Saturday. Langwarrin turned in one of its better performances of the season only to go down 2-1 to Springvale White Eagles in their State 2 South-East contest at Lawton Park last weekend. Recent signing Grant Karwacinski scored for the home team. The

midfielder has played in England’s Conference Leagues and looks the goods. Stephane Leblond scored a brace for White Eagles, his opener coming from the penalty spot following a decision described as “diabolical” by Langy coach Gus Macleod. Seaford United’s promotion push remained on course when it won 4-0 away from home in last weekend State 4 South clash with Hampton Park United. A low, left-foot drive from Marc Lo-Gnok opened the scoring and a Daniel Hodge header following a corner gave the visitor a comfortable half-time lead. Two second-half strikes from Dave Greening took his tally to 33 goals in 16 games. Seaford squares up to neighbour Skye United at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday. Skye had to settle for a share of the spoils when drawing 1-1 at home with Endeavour United last weekend. Paul McGuire’s conversion from the spot gave the home side the lead at the interval but Endeavour hit back in the second half levelling in the 60th minute and kept Skye at bay for the remainder of the contest. Fixtures for round 18: Saturday, 17 August, 3pm: Langwarrin v Malvern City (Lawton Park), Nunawading City v Peninsula Strikers (Mahoneys Reserve), Heatherton Utd v Frankston Pines (Bosnia and Herzegovina Centre), Seaford v Skye Utd (North Seaford Reserve), Baxter v Endeavour Hills (Baxter Park).

Rosebud v Pearcedale in sudden death final, Dromana take on Bombers NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly ROSEBUD will head into the elimination final against Pearcedale on the weekend full of confidence after thrashing Frankston Bombers on Saturday. Coming off two straight losses at the hands of Sorrento and Dromana, the Buds needed to gain some confidence coming into the most important time of the season. After a tight three quarters, the Buds opened up in the last, booting eight goals to three to run out winners 15.12-100 to 9.8-62. Greg Bentley was a massive inclusion for Rosebud, which ensured it fielded arguably the strongest side of the season. Frankston Bombers went into the match without some of its prime movers, including midfielders Brian O’Carroll, Jason Bedford and Shawn Wilkey as well as bookends Sam Drake and Zac Longham. The Bombers have been touting for the past two weeks that they were going to beat Dromana in the qualifying final this weekend, but losing their past two matches doesn’t give anyone any great confidence. The Bombers were beaten by the last kick of the day against Hastings a fortnight ago and now have been belted by Rosebud to the tune of 40 points. Frankston Bombers had a dream draw this season but the past couple of weeks have brought them back to earth. The Bombers have done nothing this season to suggest they are better than fourth- or fifth-placed Rosebud and Pearcedale. They were lucky to get over the line against the Buds when they met earlier in the season and just scraped home against Pearcedale. There is no question the Bombers are kidding themselves thinking they will push Dromana this weekend. For the Buds, they will be up and raring to go against the Panthers in the do-or-die final.

Frankston Bombers coach Duncan Proud didn’t use the “resting” of players as an excuse for the big loss. “It’s not a great way to lead into finals,” Proud said. Pearcedale led for most of the game against Rye but couldn’t keep it going till the final siren. The match was a draw after Rye booted 7.11 to 7.5 in the last half. The Panthers led by 24 points at the 10-minute mark of the last quarter but were once again mowed down. Pearcedale’s running speed, or lack of it, is a massive concern. Both sides had plenty of chances to win in the tense final quarter and Rye should have sealed the game but was let down by shocking kicking for goal. In the last stanza, the home side peppered the goals but could only manage 4.7 to 3.2. Adam Kirkwood had a shot from 55 metres after the siren to win the game,

but did not register a score. Darren Booth and Kirkwood were outstanding once against for the Demons while Rhett Sutton and Andrew Dean with three goals were also at their best. Ben Winters-Kerr also booted three majors to be one of his side’s best four-quarter performers. Pat Heijden finished the afternoon with six goals for the Panthers and Ben Cadd contributed three, while Glenn Anderson and Dwayne Bowes collected the top votes for the visitors. Tyabb finished its season in the best possible way, causing a massive upset against Somerville and in doing so avoiding the wooden spoon. The Yabbies trailed by two points at half-time, but kicked clear in the third to lead by eight points at the final change. The last quarter was massive for the Yabbies, who booted six goals to two to win 13.16-94 to 8.14-62.

Matty Dimkos, Jake Anderson, Riley West, John Alexander and Ash Waterstone finished with two goals each for the winners, while Stephen Conlan, Ethan Rahilly and Ben Gould were among the best players. Rhys Palmer booted four for the Eagles and was clearly his side’s best player, and Justin Allsop and Justin Farrelly worked tirelessly. Many eyes will be on the two clubs over the coming months to see who lands the coaching jobs. Sorrento warmed up for yet another tilt at a premiership with a 90-point smashing of Devon Meadows. Leigh Poholke booted a career-high 12 goals for the Sharks to win the Nepean League goalkicking medal, while Cayden Beetham and Scott Cameron completely dominted the match. Brian Wapshott and Craig Thorne were among the best for Devon, and

Aaron Bower finished the season on a high after a great performance. The Sharks went into the match resting a few high fliers but still got the job done, once again proving their dominance in the competition. Dromana went up a gear in the second quarter with eight goals to one to completely shut Hastings out of the contest. Matt Neratzoglou booted three goals for the Tigers, while Paul Minchington celebrated his brother’s feats on Friday night in the AFL with three goals. Darren Minchington made his debut for St Kilda and kicked a goal as well as being “noticed” by Channel 7 commentators. Tony Banks also kicked three goals for the Tigers while Adam Hunter and Terry Wheeler stood out. Colin McVeigh kicked four for the Blues and playing coach Glenn Michie finished with three, proving again that retirement shouldn’t be a consideration for the key position player. Taylor Stratton finished an outstanding season for the Blues, and Michael Cave and Luke Hewitt were also very good. In the final game, Crib Point kicked clear in the second quarter and went on to record a comfortable, 38-point win over Red Hill. The Hillmen booted 5.11 to 11.2 in the second half and would have finished a lot closer had they kicked straighter. Adam Garry finished with four goals for the Hillmen, and Jake Mitchell and Joe Kreiger dominated. Neil Clark finished with five and Jon Flack four goals for the Magpies. James Cook and Brad Davidson were among the Pies’ best. This weekend’s finals Qualifying final: Dromana v Frankston Bomber at Olympic Park Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud. Elimination final: Rosebud v Pearcedale at Crib Point Recreation Reserve, Colin Pde, Crib Point.

‘Inkers’ magic on plate and great to catch FISHING By Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro SQUID fishing nowadays is winning the sort of following that only snapper generated in the past. From boats to piers to rocks, everybody is out to get inked. And why not? Magic on the plate, failsafe as bait and great to catch, the humble southern calamari has risen to elite status as anglers look for quarry in the season that lies somewhere between snapper, tuna and summer. Gear for squid, or egi, fishing can be as complicated as you want it to be, but anything from a handline to a bait caster in the 3-6kg range will suffice if you’re a weekend or novice angler. Those truly hooked on squid can go all out and rig specifically for them. Prawn imitation jigs are the most popular choice of most anglers, however whole fish baits of silver whiting, grass whiting and garfish are a great option fished under a float and on a traditional pronged jag or barb.

Squid like shallow reefs and grass beds in both Western Port and Port Phillip as well as oceanic coastal zones. Often equally targeted off the rocks and piers as well as boats, squid are a genuine target for all anglers throughout the year. Last week all the excitement for boat anglers came from Western Port with snapper and large squid abundant in the top end while sevengill and gummy sharks were also making their presence felt. Most productive times have been on the change of tide and in the mornings and evenings. For squid, Tyabb Bank has been the hotspot of choice and for snapper, Joe’s Island and Eagle Rock have been a few of the go-to marks. For landlocked anglers, salmon are in good numbers off the peninsula’s back beaches. From piers in Port Phillip, garfish and squid have been in good numbers along with a few salmon. Best results are coming from

Blairgowrie, Sorrento, Mornington and Brighton. From boats in Port Phillip there are good numbers of flathead off Mornington, salmon are in some good schools from Mt Martha to Mt Eliza, and there have been a few good catches of squid from Portsea to Mt Eliza. For those after a few pinkie snapper, Brighton is producing some bag limit catches in the evenings on shallow reefs.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or phone 03 5975 5479). He is a travel and fishing writer for several publications, and a former tackle department manager for a major retail chain.
