Cameras ready to roll By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire officials have hit back at state government criticism over the “extremely disappointing� delay in installing CCTV cameras at Mt Eliza, Mt Martha and Hastings, while announcing council was now ready to proceed. Sustainable infrastructure director Alex Atkins said the delays had been caused by technical, safety and legal issues surrounding the proposed mounting of cameras on electricity

Crime Prevention Minister Edward O’Donohue mounted a stinging attack on the shire council over the delay in installing CCTV systems in the three peninsula towns, writing a critical let-

ter to CEO Michael Kennedy and raising the matter in Parliament. “These communities have been waiting for more than three years for the installation of the cameras following the election of the government,� he told Parliament this month. “They should not have to wait any longer than is absolutely necessary. I call on the council to expedite this very important community safety infrastructure.� However, Mr Atkins said the shire

council had kept the minister “fully informed� of the reasons behind the delays. “Council values the strong working relationship it has with the Minister for Crime Prevention and has kept the minister fully informed of the difficulties being encountered in progressing these projects,� Mr Atkins said last week. “Indeed, it was believed that the minister fully understood and appreciated the extensive efforts council was
making and the groundbreaking work being done by shire officers in resolving the technical and legal issues involved.� Delays in installing the CCTV systems have been blamed on safety concerns from United Energy about the proposed installation of cameras on power poles in Hastings. However, Mr Atkins said council had now reached agreement with United Energy. Continued on Page 11

P-plater injures elderly driver
Police to clamp down on hoons
By Chris Brennan A 64-year-old woman from Mt Eliza was taken to hospital by ambulance after being cut free from the wreckage of her Mercedes Benz sedan following a crash in Baxter last week. The woman was waiting at traffic lights at the corner of Sages Rd and the Moorooduc Highway about 4.45pm on Wednesday when her car was struck in the side by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by a 19-year-old P-plater. Police said the accident occurred when the Land Cruiser travelling north along the highway lost control after skidding in wet conditions as the driver attempted to brake at the traffic lights. “The lights had just changed to red and driver of the 4WD vehicle had braked but skidded and slid across the road into the sedan, which was stopped on Sages Rd at a red light,” police said. SES emergency crews were forced to cut out the driver’s side door to free the woman, who was the only occupant of the car. Her husband had been following in vehicle directly behind. She was taken to Frankston Hospital in a stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. The driver, who also lives on the Mornington Peninsula may face charges of careless driving. The accident comes as a new study reveals young drivers are more likely than other age groups to think the biggest road safety concerns for P-plate drivers are outside of their car, not in it Slater & Gordon motor vehicle accident lawyer Genevieve Henderson said the firm’s research of 2,000 Australians showed young people (aged 16
POLICE are clamping down on hoons under a new pilot program that will see the vehicles of offending drivers immobilised at their own homes instead of being impounded. Under the program, which will be trialled over the next six months, Victoria Police will be able to issue orders for vehicles to be immobilised at a private address. The immobilisation will be carried out by a third party provider within 10 days of the offence. Highway patrol officers who detect offences such as excessive speeding, repeat drink driving or disqualified driving, will be able to apply to have a vehicle immobilised using wheel clamps or steering locks. If police decide that immobilisation is unsuitable, then the vehicle will be impounded, as is the current practice. Road Policing commander Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill said the pilot was being undertaken to determine if immobilisation was a viable, effective and sustainable alternative to impoundment. He said Victoria Police had always had the power to immobilise a vehicle under the Road Safety Act 1986, however recent legislative changes made it possible to outsource immobilisation to contractors. “Victoria Police impounded around 4600 vehicles last year and we are projecting a similar number of impounds this year,” he said. “We believe immobilisation will reduce our vehicle storage costs, but more importantly, it will alleviate officers having to wait around for tow trucks and get them back on the road.”

to 24 years) were less likely to identify factors inside the car as safety hazards for a probationary driver. These internal factors included talking on a phone while driving – 25 per cent of young people ranked this as the biggest danger facing P-platers compared to 40 per cent of all ages – their own speeding (22 per cent versus 29 per cent) and distracting passengers (14 per cent versus 17 per cent). Younger people also tended to underestimate the dangers to P-platers of drug driving and texting while driving, Ms Henderson said. “These results show that young
people are still grappling with emerging issues like mobile phone use and driving while drugged and that our relevant road safety campaign messages or even the risks of penalties are yet to sink in,” she said. Ms Henderson said younger respondents tended to think many of the biggest risks to P-platers were outside the car, such as hoon drivers, other motorists driving dangerously, and being a victim of road rage. “What our findings suggest is that young people may be lacking selfawareness about their own actions behind the wheel, with many of them
believing that driving dangers are external to them and that other motorists are to blame. “The sad fact is that Australia’s young drivers are over-represented in serious road crash statistics. They make up just 14 per cent of all licence holders, but are involved in about 25 per cent of serious incidents.” However, the study showed young people were far more concerned than other age groups about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol. “This could be proof that our younger generations are heeding long running warnings around drink driving.”

Danger for council front line workers
Life plan: The Sister Works stall at the launch of the Shire’s Health and Wellbeing Plan at The Briars, Mt Martha.
Four-year plan for better life MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire officially launched a four-year plan to make the Mornington Peninsula a “happier, healthier and more hopeful place”. The Health and Wellbeing Plan was launched at The Barn at The Briars, Mt Martha, with a traditional Welcome to Country by Dean Stewart, of the Boonwurrung Foundation and musical performances by Sherilyn Angel and youth rap group Foreign Souls. The launch featured a home harvest exchange where people could swap excess fresh produce and a market stall by Sister Works, a social enter-
prise that has brought women asylum seekers, refugees and migrants of non-English speaking backgrounds together to make and sell craft. In the afternoon community workshops focussed on fresh, local food systems with a 3000 acres presentation by Hannah Schwartz from Planisphere and a developing local food systems presentation by Kirsten Larsen from Melbourne University and Edible Enterprises. The mayor Antonella Celi described the plan as a “holistic document that promotes community inclusiveness based on sound evidence-based research”.
“Together with the community, local services and other levels of government, the shire seeks to support and create opportunities and partnerships across the peninsula to facilitate healthy places and spaces, healthy lifestyle choices, active local communities, quality of life for all, and a sense of hope and belonging,” Cr Celi said. “The shire’s Health and Wellbeing plan will help guide the actions needed to develop the shire as a happier, healthier and more hopeful place for all.” Copies of the plan are at shire offices, libraries or online at www. mornpen.vic.gov.au/health_wellbeing
THE Australian Services Union wants new guidelines to protect the safety of council law enforcement workers. It says local laws officers and rangers face physical and verbal threats from people who are told they are breaking laws as well as attacks by dangerous dogs. Their work can be challenging and sometimes dangerous, creating serious occupational hazards among workers, according to ASU assistant secretary Richard Duffy. “Over recent years, the state government has expected councils to enforce many more state laws such as the new dangerous dog laws and restrictions on smoking in public places,” he said. ASU members are employed in law enforcement across local government in roles such as park rangers, health officers, parking officers and animal management officers. “ASU members tell us that safety is a real concern, including some real horror stories that puts our members at risk, including situations which could become life threatening,” Mr Duffy said. “We hear stories of members who have been bitten by dangerous animals, have collapsed due to excessive heat or even workers who have been stalked and physically assaulted. “No employee should be treated like this at work. Police and emergency service workers wouldn’t put up with it, so why should our members? “The state government is increasing the amount of enforcement activities it
expects of council, so some guidelines need to be quickly set in the interests of employees across all municipalities.” Mornington Peninsula Shire’s environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith welcomed the opportunity for the issue of workplace safety to be publicised. “The shire takes workplace safety seriously and has a number of measures in place to reduce the risk of violence, including training, safety protocols, and working in pairs,” Ms Smith said. There have been instances of hostility and violence towards employees of the shire and we welcome the opportunity to raise public awareness of this issue. “The shire encourages people to treat authorised officers with courtesy; the tasks they undertake are to enhance community safety, protect the environment and promote responsible behaviour.”
Army applications open THE federal government is calling on councils and community groups across the peninsula to submit ideas for new Green Army projects. Application forms and project guidelines are now available for organisations to begin planning new projects under the Coalition’s environmental programme. The application process close Friday 9 May. To be eligible for the first round, projects must be ready to commence between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015.

Petition brings asylum seekers ‘home’ to MPs By Neil Walker OUTRAGE at Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers will soon land at the doorsteps of Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and Flinders MP Greg Hunt with Amnesty International preparing to deliver a petition to both Liberal Party ministers demanding the federal government respond to a report on Manus Island the human rights group released late last year. The peninsula branch of Amnesty International has been collecting signatures for the petition at Mornington market in Main St for the past three Wednesdays. Amnesty International investigators visited the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea last year, describing conditions they saw there as “cruel and humiliating”. Amnesty International delivered the report entitled This is Breaking People to federal immigration minister Scott Morrison in December last year. The extensive report detailed “a host of human rights violations”, including a claim asylum seekers detained at Manus Island had access to just 500ml of drinking water per day, less than 10 per cent of the recommended 5 litres per day in “hot and humid conditions”. The report also stated toilet facilities at the detention centre often had no soap leading to outbreaks of preventable illnesses such as gastroenteritis. Amnesty International noted just one refugee sent to Manus Island had been resettled since June 2012 and concluded

the Australian government’s regional resettlement program was “inhumane” since asylum seekers were given no timeline, no information and “no hope” about their bid for asylum. Mr Morrison responded to the report by stating offshore processing of asylum seekers was “here to stay” but “where improvements can be made and can be justified, they will be made”. Frankston resident Kevin Bain, a member of Amnesty International, who has been manning the group’s stall in Mornington with other volunteers each week, said more about 500 signatures for the petition had been collected so far. “It has been encouraging to hear so many people express the strong view that what is happening at Manus Island is wrong”. Amnesty International has stepped up its efforts to force Mr Morrison to improve conditions at Manus Island in the wake of the death of 23-year-old Iranian man Reza Berati during unrest in the detention centre in February this year. PNG police continue to investigate allegations Mr Berati was murdered during riots at the centre. Mr Bain said it is not illegal to seek asylum from danger and condemned the federal government’s treatment of refugees as “brutal and barbaric”. “We want to show Bruce Billson and Greg Hunt that this is not just a Canberra-focused national issue,” he said. “There’s a lot of local opposition to the disgraceful way the Australian govern-
ment is treating asylum seekers on our behalf.” The petition, due to be delivered to Mr Billson and Mr Hunt within the next few weeks, expresses concern about the conditions for detainees at the Manus Island detention centre and asks Mr Morrison to “provide an update on the improvements” there since he said “justified” improvements would be made. The petition also called on the Australian government to urgently respond in full to all recommendations by Amnesty International in its This Is Breaking People report. Mr Hunt, while in opposition in June 2012, said in parliament that the Manus Island detention centre should be “operated under Australian circumstances, with Australian cooperation, with Australian standards, and [protected] human rights conditions.” The federal government has said “strong border protection policies” had “saved lives at sea” and anyone who is found to be a refugee while detained in PNG will be resettled in that country, not Australia. Amnesty International’s annual report on human rights in PNG society in general last year stated: “the [PNG] government did little to address high rates of violence against women” and “police accountability remained a serious concern”.

Migrants’ view in images from the past
Memories revived: Minela Krupic’s art uses old reflections to open doors into Point Nepean’s past. Picture: Yanni
AN exhibition of work by Minela Krupic is an unusual and sometimes eerie collection of images representing the stories of migrants quarantined at Point Nepean. Palimpsest takes its name from a manuscript from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that it can be used again. Krupic, who arrived in Australia as a refugee from war torn Bosnia in 1997, uses print-making techniques on various materials such as paper and silk to explore the themes of memory and its fallibility through the manipulation of photographs and the degradation of the image. She studied painting at RMIT, won the 2012 Heartlands Refugee Fine Art Prize and recently graduated from printmaking at the Victorian College of the Arts. “It’s great to be supporting a program like this which encourages migrants and refugees to connect with nature in their new home country. Parks are not just great places for mental and physical relaxation, but also for artistic interpretation,” Parks Victoria acting manager community engagement Anthea Dee said Ms Dee said many refugees “have a strong cultural connection to Point Nepean National Park, given it was the site for the historic quarantine station that many people came through and experienced during its operation from the 1850s to the late 1970s.” Palimpsest by Minela Krupic is open 9am-5pm daily at Point Nepean National Park, Portsea, until Wednesday 30 April.

Saints could be marching out By Neil Walker FRANKSTON Council is “disappointed” at plans for St Kilda Football Club’s Seaford to abandon its training centre at Seaford. The club arrived at Seaford just four years ago under a lease that would see it stay at the $11 million state-of-theart training and administration facility at Belvedere Park until 2035. The Age revealed last week that the AFL, the state government, Cricket Victoria and MCC officials had talked about the Saints moving back to Junction Oval as part of a multi-million redevelopment of the ground in St Kilda. The return to a redeveloped Junction Oval, the Saints first home ground before moving to Moorabbin in 1965, would be a sentimental one for many of the team’s supporters but would hurt the club’s much-vaunted strategy to increase membership in the outer south east suburbs. If the Saints agreed to share Junction Oval with Cricket Victoria the AFL would be able to host games at the MCG in March, early in the footy season. The lack of availability of the MCG for footy games due to cricket matches at the stadium last month has been cited as a contributory factor to a drop in AFL attendance figures this year. Council spent about $4 million of ratepayers’ money as part of the 2008 deal to entice the Saints from their former training base at Moorabbin. The state government tipped in $3.45m, the AFL stumped up $2.55m and the football club chipped in $1.43m plus additional costs to get the club over the line.
Nick off? St Kilda FC captain Nick Riewoldt, pictured at a Saints By The Bay community day in Frankston last month, and his teammates could leave Seaford’s Belvedere Park (above right) to head back to the team’s orginal home ground at Junction Oval in St Kilda five years into the club’s 50-year lease agreement with Frankston Council.
Frankston mayor Darrel Taylor said council is “disappointed that this proposal [Junction Oval] was not discussed with us as a key stakeholder”. St Kilda said it had not been involved in the discussions about the Junction Oval redevelopment, but consultations with the AFL had included a Saints “presence” in any redevelopment there. A club statement said St Kilda had a “whole of bayside strategy”, including the use of facilities at Seaford and Moorabbin and “strong relationships with Frankston and Kingston city councils”. Saints players still train at Moorabbin at least once a month. Several Saints players have previously hinted they were unhappy at the
club’s commercial decision to force them to travel from Melbourne for Seaford training sessions. Team captain Nick Riewoldt led criticism of the move, telling Triple M radio last year that it was “sad” players had to train at Seaford. “Moorabbin holds a pretty special place, particularly in the senior players’ hearts, it was sad as a player to move down to Seaford,” he said. Riewoldt said he lived in South Melbourne so it was more convenient for him to drive the shorter distance to Moorabbin for training. The Saints opted for the Seaford switch from Moorabbin after a 42 years when Kingston Council refused to let the club move more than 80

poker machines from its social club to a proposed new venue in the same suburb. Frankston justified spending millions of dollar worth of ratepayers’ money to lure the Saints to Seaford by estimating the community would see more than $42.5m of “on-flow benefits” annually “once the Saints settle in Frankston”. Critics of the deal at the time, including some councillors, had argued the money could be better spent, saying council should not hand over a large sum of money to a professional AFL club when many community sports clubs were short of funds. Supporters of the deal said the elite Seaford sporting precinct would be open to community sports clubs. The

Seaford Tigers Cricket Club also uses the precinct as its base. However, council has not given up hope that St Kilda will honour its commitment to remain at Seaford until 2035. “We have signed a 50-year lease agreement with the St Kilda Football Club and have worked in partnership with the club to establish strong ties within our community,” Cr Taylor said. “We look forward to further developing our relationship with the St Kilda Football Club as they see out their remaining 45-year agreement with Frankston City Council.” St Kilda Wdeclined to comment further until more details of the Junction Oval redevelopment were known.

Fines fine: Cecily Paterson donates some food to library officer Kristy Costanzo at Mornington Library despite having no overdue items. Picture: Yanni
Fines food on cards LIBRARY members who feel guilty about that overdue borrowed book can now wipe their debt clean and make a difference in the community. Mornington Peninsula Library Service will accept non-persishable food instead of library fines until Saturday 17 May as part of a Swap Your Food For Fines initiative aimed at encourage people back to the library and help those most in need at the same time. Shire mayor Antonella Celi said it was a winwin-win for the library, its members and the community. “The library gets overdue items back into the collection, members get to wipe the slate clean
and those doing it tough within our community also get a helping hand,” Cr Celi said. Library members can donate items of non-perishable food in lieu of overdue fines by donating one food item for fines under $10, two food items for fines between $10-$20 and three food items for fines above $20. All donated food to Mornington Library will be given to the Mornington Community Information and Support Centre volunteer group which provides emergency food relief. Visit www.ourlibrary.mornpen.vic.gov.au/ Whats_On/News/food4fines or call Rosebud Library on 5950 1230 for further information.
Continued from Page 1 “After a series of meetings involving engineers from both organisations, a solution has been agreed that cameras can be mounted on United Energy poles and the fitting of cameras and control boxes will shortly recommence in Hastings after being suspended in December 2013,” he said. “Both Council and United Energy have sought to ensure that the installation of CCTV cameras on United Energy poles did not result in any potential electrical or structural safety issue at the time of installation, or any other time over the effective life span of the cameras.” He said the “agreed solution” had required extensive technical consultation and the drafting of a number of reports in order to reach a “binding legal agreements between the parties”. While the delay during this process had been regrettable, he said the lessons learnt had informed council’s draft CCTV policy and would be applied in any future CCTV project undertaken by the shire. “Shire officers will also be available to share their experiences with other municipalities engaged in the installation of CCTV systems in public places,” he said. In a letter addressed to Dr Kennedy that was also sent to peninsula state MPs Neale Burgess (Hastings), David Morris (Mornington), and Martin Dixon (Nepean), as well as the mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, and Western Port area councillor David Garnock, Mr O’Donohue accused the council of not doing enough to get the CCTV cameras promised by the state Coalition government up and running. “I am very disappointed that after all of this time, and with multiple variations to your funding arrangements, council has still not been able to identify and resolve the necessary design issues to enable you to deliver these important projects,” Mr O’Donohue wrote. The minister made a thinly veiled threat near the end of his letter, noting that “council’s non-
compliance with your current funding agreements may impact upon your eligibility for future funding from the Department of Justice and other government departments”. The following week, Mr O’Donohue addressed state Parliament, telling ministers: “I expect, as do my colleagues in the other place David Morris, the member for Mornington, and Neale Burgess, the member for Hastings, the council to do as the community wishes and install these cameras as a matter of urgency.” He said CCTV networks were a key plank of the crime prevention portfolio. “The Chief Commissioner of Police, Ken Lay, himself, has endorsed CCTV cameras as a way to prevent crime and help solve crimes. It is a very efficient and effective tool. “It is extremely disappointing to report to the house that one of the projects remains incomplete some two and half years after the government agreed to provide funding for it. That project is meant to bring CCTV coverage to the towns of Hastings, Mount Eliza and Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula. “Before the last election the coalition promised funding for CCTV infrastructure in those three towns. Since then, over the last three and a half years, there have been almost endless pledges of progress and completion from the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, followed by endless excuses when that progress has not occurred. And still the cameras are not operating.” The shire was given grants from the Department of Justice in October 2011 for the three CCTV projects. In the lead-up to the 2010 state election, the Liberal-Nationals Coalition promised – and later delivered –$250,000 for Hastings and $60,000 each for Mt Eliza and Mt Martha. Police support the CCTV projects. Cameras will be linked to police stations for recording but will not be monitored 24/7. Footage can be extracted and reviewed after incidents and also can be used in court.

Motown man takes final bow in Frankston By Neil Walker MUSIC lost one of its backroom greats this month with the passing of composer, arranger and trumpeter Gil Askey at the age of 89. His name may not be as well known as some of the music giants he worked with, but his influence on their songs behind the scenes helped form the world-renowned Motown sound and launched their music careers into the stratosphere. Askey was born in Austin, Texas on 9 March 1925 and emigrated to Australia from the US in 1980. He made the Mornington Peninsula his home for the past few decades, and dedicated his later years to passing on lessons learned from his extensive music experience to future generations of musicians, teaching music at Woodleigh School in Langwarrin. The Washington Post described Askey as “one of the architects of the legendary Motown sound” in a 2004 interview with the soul and jazz music legend. He performed with many iconic musicians such as Mile Davies, Dizzy Gillespie, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and Count Basie. He also worked as a music director for several famous Motown acts including Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5 and Gladys Knight throughout the record label’s successful 1960s heyday. He continued working with Diana Ross in the 1970s and 1980s and was nominated for a Best Original Score Oscar for his production and arrangement of the Lady Sings The Blues movie soundtrack. The 1972 film was a biopic of Billie Holiday and featured Diana Ross in her debut appearance as an actor. Askey told journalist George Negus in a 2004 interview broadcast on ABC TV that “music completely took over my life” from when he was “about seven, eight years old” after he saw Louis Armstrong perform for the first time. He left Austin when he was 17 to join the US Army Air Corps in 1944 and subsequently headed to university on a medical scholarship where he studied to become a doctor but dropped out to tune in after two years when the call of his first love music became too much to resist. He began to realise he had a flair for musical composition and arrangement when he enrolled at the Boston Conservatory of Music and then the Harnett National Music Studios in Manhattan. Askey’s professional music career began as a band member for several 1950s and 60s jazz bands and a move

to Detroit brought him to the attention of Berry Gordy’s nascent Motown record label, where his exceptional composing talents quickly saw him became a vital part of Motown’s success. He was the in-studio composer and arranger of many of Motown’s mid to late-1960s hit singles and albums and was hired by Diana Ross as her musical director after she split from The Supremes in 1969. Askey also contributed in his own
way to the disco boom in the 1970s, hopping genres to compose the smash hit Runaway Love for Linda Clifford. As he told George Negus in 2004: “It’s just music…people were dancing.” Askey moved to Australia from the US in 1980 after he married his Australian wife, Ellen, who he first met at Festival Hall in 1973 while on tour in Melbourne. “Seven years later I married this lady
Get the best groom for your dog!
and it changed my whole life,” he said. The married couple had a son, Eric, in 1982. A daughter, Emile, followed. Askey was still held in such high regard by Motown in 1983 that he was hired to produce the US television special Motown: Yesterday, Today, Forever featuring performances from the likes of Lionel Ritchie, The Commodores, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Junior Walker, The Miracles and The Four Tops. Michael Jackson’s performance of Billie Jean on the show featured the first public outing of his famous Moonwalk dance. The reaction of the audience to the never before seen dance move was so enthusiastic, the taping of the show had to be stopped to allow them to regain their composure so filming of Jackson’s performance could be completed. Askey retired from touring soon after the birth of his son and settled down in Melbourne and then the Mornington Peninsula. He returned to performing live in the early 1990s around Melbourne and its suburbs, often accompanied by Hammond player Paul Williamson as part of the The John Montesante Quintet. In 2010 he appeared as a guest team member on ABC TV’s music quiz show Spicks and Specks. Show host Adam Hills tweeted via Twitter upon hearing of Askey’s death that he was “a true musical legend, and a terrifically lovely man”. Askey taught music at Langwarrin’s Woodleigh School and was music director of the Peninsula Youth Music Society band for several years. Woodleigh School issued a message of condolence on Facebook: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of our great friend and teacher, Gil Askey, who passed away on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for the tunes, the passion and fun.” A former student of Askey at Woodleigh School said: “I think of the first time he pointed to me [at age 15], smiled that smile of his and said “Hey guitar man! Play me the blues!” every time I walk on stage. I play the way I do because of my time learning from Gil at Woodleigh.” Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and music critic Leonard Pitts Jr said Askey’s 1968 arrangement of the Christmas standard Silent Night for The Temptations as “spiritually, emotionally…transcendent”. Askey will now “sleep in heavenly peace.” Gil Askey died on Wednesday 9 April at the age of 89. He is survived by his wife Ellen, son Eric, daughter Emile and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Fire permits THE declared fire danger period for the Mornington Peninsula ended on Monday. However, burning in the open air is still restricted and subject to permits issued by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Rules and restrictions relating to burning off are contained in the shire’s Open Air Burning Local Law at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au Permits are required for open air burning, including incinerators but not barbecues, on land of 1500 square metres or less. For land over 1500 square metres and less than 40,000 square metres fires can only be lit without a permit 9am-4pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Separate restrictions apply to larger landholdings. Although the ban has been lifted, Trevor Owen of the CFA also urged property owners to check local bylaws before lighting a fire. He said neighbours and the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority, 1800 668 511, should be told so brigades would not be called out unnecessarily Fire Ready kits and household bushfire self-assessment forms are on the CFA’s website or call 1800 240 667. A report in The News of 8 April incorrectly stated that the fire danger period had ended that week.

Polly waffle hits the drawing board By Neil Walker SOME might say Australian politics has become farcical in recent years, with many voters disillusioned at the vapid adversarial posturing of politicians hell-bent on gaining power for power’s sake, without any conviction of what to do once they get into government. But the personal nature of much of what passes for political debate has been a boon for one group of interested observers – political cartoonists. Satirical looks at politicians from all parties have never been more popular, often summing up serious news events better than thousands of words can. Social media users now regularly pass on the best of these cartoons to thousands of others who may not have seen the political sketches in its original publication. Russ Radcliffe has been gathering the best political cartoons of the year to be compiled into the Best Australian Political Cartoons book, which has been published by Scribe Publications since 2004. He will visit the Mornington Peninsula later this month to discuss the latest edition. An exhibition of the best political cartoons from 2013, selected by Radcliffe, entitled Suppositories of Wisdom, is being hosted at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop in Sorrento until Saturday 3 May. Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning and the events of last year on Saturday 19 April at the Sorrento bookshop.
Drawing the truth out: Editor Russ Radcliffe, compiler of the annual Best Australian Political Cartoons book, with a caricature of Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Picture: Yanni
The title of the exhibition is a reference to Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s gaffe last year on the election campaign trail when he declared that no one politician could be “the suppository of all wisdom”. Radcliffe said he sees political cartoons as “an alternative and subversive pictorial history” that shed a light on political decisions and events. “The best political cartoons have a really good idea for a joke at a
powerful person’s expense at its core, and sum up yet also provide comment on a contemporary issue,” he said. “It’s a very powerful means of making people think about something important in a new way.” The exhibition and book features work by many of Australia’s most renowned cartoonists such as the Sydney Morning Herald’s Alan Moir, The Australian newspaper’s Bill Leak and Jon Kudelka, The Age’s Matt Golding and Judy Horacek.
Radcliffe is based in Richmond and had the idea to exhibit political cartoons at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop since he is a regular customer there when he visits his mother who lives in Rye. “It’s a fantastic bookshop and it has a great gallery space,” he said. When asked to nominate his personal favourites, Radcliffe said he loves the work of The Australian Financial Review’s David Crowe whose “anarchic and highly-detailed images” are “absolutely wonderful”. “His work isn’t seen by a huge circulation since the AFR is aimed at the business circles niche so it’s good to give his work another outlet for publication,” Radcliffe said. He also nominated Alan Moir and The Age’s John Spooner as cartoonists he is always keen to see their take on political events. His favourite sketch of last year was the Sun-Herald’s Cathy Wilcox’s Walkley Award-winning effort lampooning the return of prime minister Kevin Rudd to Kirribilli House and ordering a cleaner to remove all traces of his predecessor, Julia Gillard. “It depicted Rudd as a ‘details freak’ obsessed with erasing any remnant of Gillard’s time at the helm after she was instrumental in disposing him from the prime ministership in the first instance,” Radcliffe said. “Sometimes, I don’t agree with the Walkleys judges’ choice but last year I thought they got it spot on.” Radcliffe said former Crikey cartoonist First Dog on the Moon
(also known as Andrew Marlton), had “a new style” that initially seems “childish” but is “completely original and never boring”. He said First Dog’s comic strip approach to political cartoons allowed him to expand on themes unlike other cartoonists who can be restricted by the genre’s one-panel format. First Dog on the Moon, also a Walkley award winner, was recently poached from Crikey by The Guardian newspaper’s Australian website. Radcliffe spent a decade at Scribe Publications as commissioning editor before heading out on his own to found his own publishing house, High Horse. He continues to compile the Best Australian Political Cartoons each year for Scribe. “High Horse publishes non-fiction travel books, political books, history and crime novels,” he said. “I’m always on the look out for good and original Australian writing talent”. The Best Australian Political Cartoons 2013 book is available to buy at all good bookstores. Cartoonists are paid royalties from the book’s sales and Radcliffe said it is a great way to own a record of the past year’s political events for future reference. Russ Radcliffe will give a talk on political cartooning at the Suppositories of Wisdom exhibition at Antipodes Gallery & Bookshop, 138 Ocean Beach Rd, Sorrento on Saturday 18 April at 2pm.

SES volunteer at centre of MH370 search By Chris Brennan CHELSEA SES volunteer Richard Jenner last week found himself at the centre of the biggest news story in the world after joining the official international search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. Not only did the Parkdale dad take to the skies to scour the Indian Ocean off the Western Australian coast as part of an Australian Maritime Safety Authority-coordinated search team, but his efforts were also reported in a full-page story in one of China’s biggest-selling newspapers, the Beijing Mirror. Mr Jenner, 42, said it had been a “real privilege” to have been selected to take part in such an important mission and that he had been happy to share the experiences of his work as a volunteer in the search effort with the Chinese newspaper. But the father of two said he was disappointed his team had not been able to locate anything that might have helped solve the mystery and end the nightmare for the families of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board the missing Boeing 777 jetliner. Malaysian Airlines lost touch with Flight 370 on March 8 and there has been no sign of the plane or the 239 people on board since. Internationally coordinated efforts to locate the aircraft have narrowed the search zone to a vast tract of ocean about 2500 kilometres south-west of Perth. “We would have loved to have been able to find something out there to help provide answers for those poor families but unfortunately we didn’t,” he told The News. “It’s a big wide open patch of deep blue sea out there, 2500 kilometres off the West Australian coast, so it’s a difficult mission. But it was a real privilege to be given the opportunity to do something to help. Mr Jenner said he had been selected for the mission due to his training as an Australian Maritime Safety Authority air observer through the SES. “I was lucky enough to be selected for an AMSA training program so now I’m one of 25 people with-
in Victoria available to conduct aerial searches,” he said. “This was my first operational callout, so it was an exciting opportunity. You get very short notice; you get the call and have to be ready to go pretty much straight away. He said the search effort had involved a team of eight AMSA-trained volunteers methodically scouring an allocated section of the ocean from an aeroplane for any visual clues. “We didn’t get any special insight into what may or may not have happened, we just had to utilize the skills we’d been taught and do the job we were assigned to the best of our ability. “Going by media reports, the theory seems to be that the plane kept flying on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel and ended up somewhere in the Indian Ocean. “I really hope they do find it, so as to at least be able to bring some closure to the families.” Chelsea SES spokesman Phil Wall said Mr Jenner’s special mission showed just how diverse the demands on the unit could be and how wide the range of skills volunteers possessed were. “It’s not just about cleaning up the local area after storms,” Mr Wall said. “Chelsea SES has an unfaltering dedication to helping out communities all over the state and across the country. “Richard’s continuing our ‘Chelsea Everywhere’ tradition and we couldn’t be prouder.” Mr Wall said the Beijing Mirror had been especially interested in the role of the volunteer organisation in the international search mission and the deep sympathy Australians such as Mr Jenner had felt for the families of the missing passengers, most of whom were Chinese nationals. “Especially with Richard being a father, he felt a real connection with the families and the pain they must be going through not knowing what had happened. “We all just hope and pray for them that the mystery is solved and they can get some closure.”

Mornington News 15 April 2014
COMMENT By David Harrison AS Gilbert and Sullivan put it in The Pirates of Penzance, the lot of a high-profile public official “is not a happy one”. The lot of policemen in that delightful comic opera is shared by chief executive officers, both in business and in local government. Dr Michael Kennedy’s lot has largely been a very happy one in his 15 or so years as CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire. Councillors appointed him in 1999 and he has since been reappointed four times – sometimes amid controversy. Councillors – the “board of directors” who employ the CEO – must decide by mid-August whether to reappoint Dr Kennedy once more or to throw open his job by advertising it. Dr Kennedy could apply for a further term and may well be the best candidate. At the age of 61, Dr Kennedy would likely be happy to get one last term in the $340,000 ($6500 a week) job, to enhance a golden retirement. But opponents are gathering to stop that occurring. Many, including former councillor and retired state MP Robin Cooper, question Dr Kennedy’s recent performance and that of his organisation and say it is time to go to the market for a new CEO, with a view to re-energising the shire. They point to a series of shire actions and reactions that indicate new vigour is needed. Among the incidents raised are: * Rapidly rising shire rates; * Ever-rising shire debt; * The hasty and ill-explained purchase of Wannaeue Place land as a possible site for the Rosebud pool complex; * The shire’s accusation of bias against the Victorian Electoral Commissioner over introducing the shire’s multi-member ward structure; * The abandonment of the shire’s waste
‘One of Dr Kennedy’s skills has been to retain strong relations with a majority of councillors’ management policy after the Pioneer quarry was rejected as a tip site. It is being argued that the brutal world of senior management requires the shire to test the market for talent. The Jeff Kennett-created local government structure is corporate, with councillors acting as a board of directors to whom the CEO is answerable. Fifteen years is an extraordinarily long stretch for a CEO, in either private or public enterprise. The median CEO tenure is less than five years, according to a study by consulting firm Strategy& (formerly Booz & Co). “Boards may now be inclined to appoint new CEOs [who are] more likely to bring fresh insights, different industry experience or even prior experience as a CEO to the role,” according to partner Varya Davidson, commenting on the 2012 ‘Australian CEO Succession Study’. While the study focused on private enterprise, its broad principles apply across the corporate entity spectrum. A 2013 Harvard Business Review article found that “when new executives are getting up to speed, they seek information in diverse ways”, from both external and internal sources. “This deepens their relationships with customers [ratepayers] and employees alike,” it said. “But as CEOs accumulate knowledge and become entrenched, they rely more on their internal networks for information ... Their
attachment to the status quo makes them less responsive to vacillating consumer [ratepayer] preferences.” Boards – in the shire’s case, its councillors – “should be aware that long-tenured CEOs may be skilled at employee relations but less adept at responding to the marketplace; these leaders may be great motivators but weak strategists, unifying workers around a failing course of action, for example.” One of Dr Kennedy’s skills has been to retain strong relations with a majority of councillors – a slender but sufficient number to maintain an efficient working strategy. This is a classic “divide and conquer” or “divide and rule” tactic, practised by emperors and magnates since the days of Philip of Macedon. It is a powerful factor operating in Dr Kennedy’s favour. He has generally had support from six of the shire’s 11 councillors over his tenure. The six are led by David Gibb and Anne Shaw, the shire’s two veteran councillors. But reliance on this support has drawbacks. In the period leading to a councillor decision on whether to reappoint or to invite candidates for the CEO’s job, Dr Kennedy becomes somewhat of a “lame duck”, dependent on this group’s continuing support. His recent sudden departure for a fortnight’s overseas holiday, now extended by a week, was not formally discussed with all councillors. This may indicate that Dr Kennedy will not seek another term as CEO or is confident he has the numbers to be reappointed. To advertise or reappoint? Cr Celi told a questioner at a recent council meeting that councillors had not yet decided what course to take. Until they do, councillors and the community, including opponents of reappointment – and perhaps Dr Kennedy himself – await the their decision on the CEO.

Mornington News 15 April 2014
Community stands firm behind Rosie By Chris Brennan ROSIE Batty has enjoyed a wave of support following her recent emotional confrontation on live television with Studio 10 co-host Joe Hildebrand over his support for proposed laws that could result in the jailing of domestic violence victims who fail to report child sex abuse. Ms Batty told The News she had been appalled by the comments made by Hildebrand which “blamed the victims of domestic violence not the perpetrators” but that the controversy had led to a strong boost in support for the Luke Batty Foundation. “It was upsetting to hear those comments but it did cause a spike in the fund to the tune of about $5000, so that’s one good thing from it all – it’s stimulated people into acting,” Ms Batty said. Flinders MP Greg Hunt also stepped in lend support to Ms Batty’s fund-raising efforts, last week announcing he would make a personal contribution to the foundation and approach to the federal government to explore national funding opportunities. “I have written to Rosie Batty, expressing my deepest sympathy and condolences following the tragic death of her son Luke,” Mr Hunt said. “This incident has sent shock waves through the entire region. It is at these sad times that we truly get a sense of how close-knit our community is. It has been tremendous to see residents banding together to support Ms Batty and her family. He said that in the “absolute worst of circumstances, Ms Batty has shown the absolute best of humanity” and he would be “delighted” to make a donation to the foundation being set up in Luke’s honour. “I will also approach the federal government on behalf of Ms Batty to see if there are any opportunities for a national contribution.” Ms Batty said the Luke Batty Foundation, which was established after she received donations and pledges of support to address issues such as child abuse and domestic violence, had already raised more than $40,000. While she is still investigating how to best use the fund, she confirmed it would be focused on “children and trauma”. Family violence and women’s rights groups were quick to support Ms Batty’s opposition to the state government proposals to make it a crime to not report the sexual abuse of children after Hildebrand came out in favour of the changes live on air, saying women had “no excuse” for not getting out of abusive relationships. Ms Batty fought back tears as she blasted Hildebrand on air after he stated women should “not be in abusive relationships in the first place” and that for them not to report child abuse or child sexual abuse by their partner because they were scared for their own safety was “not an excuse”. “You have to get out, you absolutely have to get out,” Hildebrand told the audience ahead of an interview with Ms Batty, who had agreed to appear on the Channel 10 morning program to talk about the aftermath of the murder of her 11-year-old son Luke, who was killed by his father at Tyabb on 12 February. “To say that you’re going to not report a case of child sex abuse by your partner because you are scared for your own safety, I'm sorry, it is not an excuse,” Hildebrand told the audience as Ms Batty listened off-air. When Ms Batty appeared on-screen, she was visibly distressed and told Hildebrand she was “absolutely outraged” by his comments. “I was living in hope that because of Luke’s tragic death it would bring a huge awareness to family violence,” she said. “This is beyond my comprehension how, again, the woman who is the victim is punished.” Peninsula Community Legal Centre acting principal lawyer Brendan Stackpole said Ms Batty had every right to be concerned by the proposed legislation and misguided comments in the press. “This could mean that a mother who was the non-abusive parent, and was herself the victim of family violence from the same perpetrator, could be jailed,” he said. “She would then be unable to protect and sup-

port the child in their recovery, while the child may be left in the care of the State, or in some cases even with the perpetrator of the abuse.” He said that while the proposed legislation included a defence of “reasonable excuse” if the person feared for the safety of another person, he was concerned that did not provide adequate protection because “the dynamics of family violence are often misunderstood, with unsafe or unrealistic expectations being placed on women”. “Contrary to its intention, we fear that this law could act as a disincentive to women seeking help for themselves and their children. “We also believe that prosecuting the non-violent family member sends the wrong message to the community, when it is the perpetrator who needs to be held accountable for the family violence and sexual abuse that they commit.” Women’s Domestic Violence Crisis Service CEO Annette Gillespie was even more scathing in her assessment of the proposed laws and Hildebrand’s “misguided statements”. “Recent comments in the media on the issue of mandatory disclosure of child sexual abuse have displayed a breath-taking lack of knowledge and understanding of domestic violence,” Ms Gillespie said. “Too often women are held responsible and accountable for their own safety and the safety of their children. Instead, what we really need to be asking is why do perpetrators of domestic violence choose to abuse their partners, ex-partners and children? “Why do they feel it’s their right to terrorise, intimidate, threaten, belittle and control their partners?” Ms Batty told The News her experiences leading up to the murder of her son by his father, Greg Anderson, who was fatally shot by police following the incident, showed just how vulnerable women and children were in the face of a violent partner. At the time of the murder, Anderson was wanted by police over multiple breaches to intervention orders and failing to appear in court. “It’s a very lonely journey being the victim of domestic violence and to live in fear for you and your child’s safety,” she said.“And then to have people judge you and not understand what you are going through makes it that much worse. “The woman is not separate from the child; it’s not your safety alone. The threat is to you and your children together, that’s what people seem to misunderstand.” She said her experiences demonstrated domestic violence could happen to anyone, regardless of their age, education, race or community, and that there was still a long way to go in providing the support necessary to protect victims. “People don’t understand what it’s like living in fear for your safety. It’s not just a case of taking out an intervention order and that’s the end of it. There’s only so much police and the courts can do.”

Make some String Easter Eggs A fun Easter craft for kids is to have them make string Easter eggs. Buy some balloons and blow them up, then cut out about 30 pieces of string to be 15 centimetres (or the width of the balloon). Dip the pieces of string in glue and wrap them around the balloon individually. You should have a balloon covered in string from all different directions. You will then place the balloon on some non stick paper and allow it to dry for several hours. After the glue is dried, pop the balloon and you have yourself a colorful Easter egg.

WHAT’S NEW
Pedalling road safety on the peninsula By Alan Woollard, President, Bike Safe – Mornington Peninsula THE Bike Safe – Mornington Peninsula community group is a registered non-profit association that was started by local cyclists to advance bicycle safety on the roads in response to the increasing incidents involving cyclists and motorists on the Mornington Peninsula. Over the last two and a half years we have implemented public awareness campaigns designed to promote safer road behaviour by both cyclists and motorists. We gratefully acknowledge the support we have received from the Police. We have undertaken safety campaigns using trailer banners and billboards and we have also used advertisements on the back of buses on the Portsea to Frankston route over a five month period. Our most recent campaign has involved a series of advertisements in the Southern Peninsula News and Mornington News. We are hopeful that these have alerted the public to our “Share the Road” message. One area of particular concern for us is the issue of “dooring”. This occurs when a driver forgets to look for cyclists when opening a car door (both entering and exiting the vehicle). Statistics show that approximately 30% of accidents in Melbourne are caused by “dooring”. We would encourage car drivers to be aware of this and to take care when opening doors. The amount of traffic appearing on the roads over the holiday periods is increasing exponentially but unfortunately the infrastructure in regard to cycling safety remains static here on the Peninsula. It would seem that the only positive advancement for cycling safety on the Mornington Peninsula in the last five years has been in regard to the use of (green) coloured surface treatment in the bike lane in Rosebud.

Mornington News 15 April 2014
Cupcakes raise cancer funds Just prior to Christmas, VicRoads used this treatment in six sections of the bike lane heading west from the Rosebud Hotel at Sixth Avenue to First Avenue, Rosebud. This method is used throughout Melbourne and the rest of the State, and has proven to be effective in bringing bike lanes to the attention of drivers. We are hopeful that this sort of positive action continues and is used elsewhere on the Peninsula. Unfortunately, the Peninsula seems to be getting left far behind the rest of Victoria on the issue of cycling safety. The Easter holiday period is one of the busiest times on the Mornington Peninsula and there will be extra cars and bicycles on the roads at this time. We are asking the public to SHARE THE ROAD and to please ride and drive with respect and courtesy. www.bikesafe.com.au
THE Peninsula Homemaker Centre, part of the BB Retail Capital group of Homemaker Centres, partnered with Melanoma Institute Australia for a national fundraising campaign called “Bake, Don’t Sunbake,” last month. The one-day event twas held at 11 BBRC centres across Australia in an initiative to increase awareness of melanoma and raise much needed funds for early detection programs. Melanoma Institute Australia general manager Nicola Ware said: “Australia has the highest incidence of melanoma in the world and is often referred to as ‘Australia’s cancer’, with more than 12,500 new cases diagnosed each year and the most common cancer in young Australians aged 15–39 years. Over 90 per cent of melanomas can be cured, if detected and treated early enough and this campaign is about raising the much needed funds to expand the reach of our message into the community about the importance of early detection, sun safety and annual skin checks.”
Peninsula Homemaker Centre manager Kate Parkinson said: “It was exciting to partner with Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA), seeing our customers come down and support the cause by buying a cupcake and decorating it. Peninsula residents were amazing with their generous support with this fundraising event, raising close to $1,000. That’s a lot of cupcakes! It was also pleasing to see our retailers at Peninsula Home jump on board with their support by buying cupcakes. It was a great event that really drew the community together.” More than $16,000 was raised in total throughout the group of BBRC homemaker centres. Melanoma Institute Australia is the largest single tumour cancer center in Australia and a world leader in melanoma research, treatment and education. Headquartered at the Poche Centre in North Sydney, it is dedicated to preventing and curing melanoma. Visit www.melanoma.org.au for further information.
Healthy Living Isn’t your health worth it?
Give foot and leg pain the boot IF you have foot and leg pain or injuries you can feel confident knowing that expert help is just around the corner. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading Podiatry practices focussed on assisting pain, injuries and degenerative issues, have successfully treated some of the World’s Best Athletes and thousands of people just like you. Podiatrist Dr. David Kavanagh, who heads Foot and Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza and Rye says, “We see many people with painful conditions who have suffered unnecessarily. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments, most foot and leg pain can be treated relatively easily and effectively. We can even assist soft tissue regeneration and heal injuries thanks to new injection therapies, which are natural and safe.” Dr. Kavanagh advises getting a second opinion if you’ve been told any of the following relating to your foot and leg pain: 1.You require surgery – With the latest advances in medical research and treatments surgery can be avoided in many cases. 2.You require cortisone injections or anti-inflammatory medications – such treatments have now been proven to have many negative side effects including damaging tissue and delay-
ing healing. There are more effective, natural alternatives. 3.There is nothing that can be done for you. There is nearly always something that can be done to assist. Just because one person doesn’t know how to assist, doesn’t mean there is nothing that can be done. Dr. Kavanagh explains, “Health and healing is not a one size fits all approach, to achieve successful, long term outcomes for patients practitioners need to; take the time to find and address the cause of concerns and not just treat the symptoms; take a holistic approach to healing as one issue can set off a chain reaction in the body and keep up-to-date with the very latest medical research and treatments. In order to prescribe the very best treatment option for each individual, nutritional and lifestyle factors and requirements also need to be addressed, as well as overall health and injury concerns.” If you suffer any foot and leg pain including: heel, arch, shin or forefoot pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle or knee pain and injuries, bunions or arthritis call Foot + Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Tyabb cool stores to open next week, archbishop to open new church Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 18 April 1914 THE official opening of the local cool stores will take place on Tuesday next, 21st inst. The opening ceremony will be performed by the Hon., The Minister of Agriculture (Mr W. Hutchison) at 11 a.m. Several other speakers are expected to be present, including Mr C. French, Government superintending engineer. Invitations have been extended to the majority of district residents, and a good attendance is anticipated. *** THE new Church is now nearing completion, and will be ready for the opening ceremony on 26th inst. The Archbishop of Melbourne will be in attendance on that day, and the event is being much looked forward to. *** REV. and Mrs Jackson, of Frankston, are at present enjoying a holiday at Donald. *** MR Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustained by a fall in the engine room of his boat. *** A PLEASING function took place at Schultz’s Pier Hotel on Wednesday evening last, the occasion being wishing good-bye to SeniorConstable McCallum, who has been recently transferred from Frankston to Geelong. Mr H. Gamble occupied the chair, and spoke in highly complimentary terms of their guest, both as a police officer and a private citizen, and during his stay of 18
months in the district he had gained the respect and esteem of all. He had much pleasure in presenting Mr McCallum with a travelling bag and rug as a small memento of his stay in Frankston, and hoped that his family and himself would continue to enjoy good health and prosperity wherever they are stationed. The remarks of the chairman were heartily endorsed by all present, and “For he’s a jolly good fellow” was sung most lustily. Mr McCallum feelingly responded, and thanked them most sincerely for the kind remarks made about Mrs McCallum and himself, and also for their handsome presents. While doing his duty as a police officer conscientiously he always tried to do it in the least objectionable manner, and in the majority of cases he always found it best. His stay in Frankston had been a pleasant one, and he hoped when he had leisure to again visit them and renew old acquaintances. After an enjoyable hour had been spent the proceedings terminated with mutual good wishes and hearty hand shakes. *** THE hall at Seaford was crowded on Saturday evening last for the concert given by Mr J. H. Hopkins, in aid of the funds of the Church of England, and the financial results were more than satisfactory. A varied and interesting programme was very enthusiastically received. Mr J. H. Hopkins recited “My Lady’s Leap,” “The Vicar’s Presentation” and “How we played Julius Caesar” besides giving three or four encores. Mrs J. H. Hopkins gave “If we only knew” and “Mrs Bateson’s tea party,” also two child impersonations “The Goblins,”
and “The Missionary,” the latter being an encore. Songs were rendered
Mr Harold Dial is at present undergoing an enforced holiday at Frankston, as the result of a broken rib, sustatined by a fall in the engine room of his boat.
by the Missis Grose and L. Morgan, and Messrs L. R. and P. W. Hopkins. A humorous trio “Three Old Black Crows “ and a humorous sketch “The Mug,” were well received. *** AN attempt is being made to form a football club here this season. Surely it is not impossible, although the efforts put forward this last couple of years have failed. There is no doubt that there are enough young players living here, if they were all to join the club.
*** IT is with regret we record the death of an old and highly respected resident of Mornington, in the person of Mr Ernest William Schleeba, which took place at his late residence Queen street, Mornington, on Sunday last in his 69th year. The cause of death was dropsy of the heart. The late Mr Schleeba was born in Germany, and came to Australia 48 years ago and was a resident of Mornington for 31 years. In 1887 he took up his residence Frankston, and afterwards removed to the “Briars” at Osborne, and was in the employ of Mr Henry Miller for eleven years. He also was coach driving for Mr Tom Pope for several years and after Mr Pope retired from business he took out a carriers licence, and ran between Mornington and Frankston until the railway opened at Mornington. He continued his line of business at Mornington until four years ago, when he was laid up with his first illness, and he has been almost an invalid ever since. He leaves a widow and six sons and two daughters for whom the greatest sympathy is felt. The funeral which took place on Tuesday afternoon was largely attended. The Rev. Mr Sandiford and the Rev. Mr Butler spoke very feelingly at the grave. The remains wore interred in the Moorooduc Cemetery. The mortuary arrangements were in the hands of Mr Summerland, of Mornington. *** THE weather during the Easter holidays was cold and windy. Except for occasional showers the rain still continues to hold off. Visitors to Dromana per the Ozone, on Good
Friday, had a most unpleasant voyage. The boat had great difficulty in getting in to the pier. After several attempts the captain was successful, and was greeted with cheers by the admiring crowd assembled. *** £50 HAS been allotted to the Dromana Hall from the Government grant to free libraries for building purposes: The Rev E. Rodda was tendered a farewell social in the hall on Saturday evening last. There was a large number present, including representatives from all denominations. Dr Weld occupied the chair. Songs and recitations were contributed by Miss Kidgell, and Messrs Rankine and Weber. The chairman, on behalf of the residents of Dromana, presented Mr Rodda with a purse of sovereigns, and Miss Katie Townsend, on behalf of the teachers and scholars of St Mark’s Sunday School, presented him with a framed picture. Mr R. Cairns spoke on behalf of the congregation at Rosebud, and Mr Weber expressed regret at the departure of Mr Rodda, on behalf of the Presbyterian Church Mr Rodda, in responding, spoke of the kind hospitality he had received from the members of the congregation during the 11 years he had been their minister. He expressed regret at leaving the district, but as he had arrived at the retiring age and was not in good health, he felt need of a rest. He would always visit his old friends when opportunity offered, and hoped the church would prosper under their new minister, who was a younger man. A coffee supper was served by the ladies, and all joined in singing “Auld Lang Syne.”

It’s all happening at emu plains market ONE of the region’s coolest and most popular outdoor attractions, the Emu Plains Market is a celebration of the Peninsula’s unique culture, creative artisans and diverse producers. Beneath the sun dappled gumtree canopy, local traders once again transform this bush setting into a snaking trail of colourful market stalls welcoming people to the carnival atmosphere of Emu Plains with an offer of local wares, food and fresh produce. Here, stylish young hipsters, teenagers and families mingle and delight in natural organic foods, interesting bric-a-brac and eclectic handmade gifts. It’s all about discovery: whether it’s yummy hot snacks, stunning local wines, innovative woodwork, glassware, ceramics or a gorgeous piece of fanciful jewellery that never requires an excuse to accessorise. Throughout the market are stalls laden with crafts from all over the Peninsula; art, handmade jewellery, bespoke furniture, quilts, designer fashion and hats alongside an eclectic mix of local wineries, distillers, bottled drink stalls and other brightly coloured carts. “People love to find special gifts or just simply graze their way through this vibrant seaside setting” says market organiser, Vanessa Johnson. “The stallholders offer an abundance of farm-fresh produce; you’ll find so many popular foods, organic coffee, fine oils, artesian

A farewell to five weeklies By Stuart McCullough IT’S over. After twenty years of membership, my local video store has shut up shop. I can now remove the card from my wallet, as it’s clear I will never be able to use it again. Stripped of its signage, the shop now sits as an empty shell, denuded of new releases and weeklies. For years, maddening hoards flocked to the local video store but it’s gone the way of the Blacksmith. Friday nights will never be the same again. I have lived in the same area – off and on – for twenty years. Joining the local video store used to be one of the first things you did when you arrived in a new suburb. Having received your bill for having the phone put on, you used it along with your license to become a member. Not that being admitted into such an exclusive realm was something that could be assumed – it required a slack-jawed youngster who delighted in dressing like a homeless person to deem you to be of good character. As if they were qualified. In terms of intensive screening, it was second only to trying to get into a nightclub in Frankston. If you were lucky enough to be judged favorably, it was like being handed the keys to the kingdom. Video stores had a long life. They survived economic downturns and disasters and even the death of video itself. Videotapes were cumbersome things, cursed by whether preceding renters failed to rewind it. At first, video was divided. You had the choice of ‘VHS’ or ‘Beta’. The latter was more compact and, so we were told, the intelligent choice embraced by the world
at large. It was only natural that we, as a nation, would choose the underdog and make VHS our own. Small sections of shelf were devoted to Betamax until they became extinct. Not that VHS had any time to rest on its laurels. The laser disc was little short of a miracle. The size of a vinyl record, they were the choice of connoisseurs who valued quality. Like the Betamax before them, they too had their own special area within the shop for just a little while before perishing at the hands of VHS. I like to think there are still hardcore laser disc enthusiasts who, to this day, maintain that the laser disc was vastly superior to the videocassette and that a grave technological injustice has been
done. Having seen off two rivals, the videocassette should have been allowed to rest easy, at least for a little while. But the seeds of its destruction were already sewn. The laser disc was big, clunky and temperamental. But its direct descendent, the Digital Versatile Disc (or DVD), would soon make its bid for the affection of the movie-loving public. Like the Betamax and laserdisc before it, the DVD started out with just a few shelves in its own corner. But it was soon clear that a shift was taking place as videos evaporated. People who had dedicated their lives to taping their favourite films and carefully editing out the adverts now had crates of cassettes as meaningful as landfill. But now DVDs
are themselves redundant, having being replaced by downloadable content. Once, downloading a movie was an act of piracy. Now they can be legally purchased without leaving your couch. How quickly things change. I must have made thousands of visits starting from when I was a student. Back then, those working there were a special bunch. The people behind the counter had seen pretty much every film in the store and had unshakeable opinions as to their merits or otherwise. The front counter hosted great debates about filmmaking. Indeed, many of those who worked at the video store saw themselves as filmmakers and believed that being a video clerk was an integral part of their
training instead of something staving off unemployment. Not that they were all so ambitious. Others were there because it was a job that seemingly anyone could do. For years, our local video emporium employed a guy named ‘Satan’ whose real job was playing guitar in a band whose best known song was ‘Beer Sandwich – Hold the Bread’. It was the kind of place that had room for everybody. For two decades, I prided myself on a near faultless rental record. Only when a housemate took my card without my knowledge and rented PCU Pit Party starring Jeremy Piven was I ever late in returning a video. If this darkest of clouds has any kind of silver lining, it’s that this stain has now been expunged from my record. It’s a pity it took the closure of the store to do it. Without this black mark, I can now re-enter society and open a bank account in my own name, maybe even get a driver’s license. It’s important to see the bright side. By the time the store closed, the words ‘PCU Pit Party’ meant nothing to those who worked there. The kooks and weirdos had been weeded in favour of students who resembled Home and Away extras. They didn’t have strong opinions about the films you rented. They didn’t have strong opinions about anything. Time overtook the local video store. Instead, you can now have the world at your fingertips without having to get off the couch. But where’s the fun in that? For when all’s said and done, it’s important to make the occasional effort. Farewell, video store. And thanks. stuart@stuartmccullough.com
Potters exhibition success not all spin WHILE for many Easter is chocolate eggs and fish on Good Friday, it means much more than that to the Dromana Potters Group. Every year over the Easter weekend, this local group of artists has their Annual Exhibition to display their creations, publicise their studio and hopefully sell some items to the public. Student work is displayed and pieces by more experienced potters also feature. Work ranges from the functional to the non-functional and sculpture is also very popular. Dromana Potters have been active in the Dromana area for over 37 years and they have a comfortable, well-equipped and airy studio at the rear of the Old Shire Hall on Point Nepean Road, Dromana. They are a not-for–profit organisation and all profits from the sales at their exhibition are returned to the studio to help keep it running.

Mornington News 15 April 2014
The group runs tutored classes on Tuesday nights and Thursday mornings and also has selfhelp groups for more experienced potters. Members have a passion for their craft and the atmosphere in classes and self-help groups is great fun, welcoming and companionable. Conversation flows easily and laughs are fast on the ground. The Dromana Potters Annual Exhibition takes place at the front of the Old Shire Hall in Dromana over Saturday, Sunday and Monday of the Easter weekend. The show is open daily from 10.00am to 4.00pm except on Monday when it closes at 2.00pm to allow people to pick up their purchases. Bring the family, especially mother and mother-in-law as you are very likely to find just the right gift for Mother’s Day and early Christmas shopping!

Stonecats still the yardstick PENINSULA LEAGUE By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW proved that it is still the team to match in the Peninsula League competition on Saturday after dominating Mt Eliza at Wooralla Drive. Despite a slow start against the breeze, the Stonecats booted 10.8 to 4.5 after quarter time to run out comfortable 30-point winners. The Redlegs got within 21 points early in the last quarter when Damien Russo booted a goal, but the visitors steadied through the likes of Tony Lester and Craig Nankervis to enjoy a comfortable win. Anthony ‘Bundy’ Barry was again superb for the Stonecats. He will be missed on the rare occasion that he gets called up to play VFL footy. There’s still plenty of speculation surrounding Ash Eames and his future at the Stonecats. The talk is that he is waiting for a promotion in the police force, which is likely to take him back to the country. At this stage though he’s playing and still having an influence. Josh Chapman, Michael Chaplin and Ricky Morris all booted two goals each for the Stonecats. Sam Wettenhall was the most productive forward for the Redlegs with three goals while Jack Cole and Karl Lombardozzi were outstanding.
Former Melbourne-listed player John Meesan edged out Eames in the ruck, while Rohan Heasley was at his best. Redlegs coach John Georgiou said he expected his team to take time to get up and going. “Our list has changed a fair bit over summer. We have some great kids coming up through the juniors, we have been able to get players back to the club like Dunne, Heasley and Booth plus Lombardozzi is like a new recruit. We also picked up guys like Meesan and Whelan,” Georgiou said. “YCW was a great test to see where we are at. It was great to get them early,” he said. Langwarrin maintained its position on top of the Peninsula League table after a 32-point win against Pines. Just 13 points separated the sides at half time and three quarter time before the Kangas booted five goals to two in the last to record a 10.15 (75) to 6.7 (43) win. Jarryd Amalfi was outstanding for the winners from half back while teenager Blake Harkness was again dominant on the wing and through the middle of the ground. He lacks nothing in the ticker department. Andrew Withers was cool in a crisis and Steve O’Brien’s penetrating left foot was one of the few exciting things to watch during a scrappy match.
Guy Hendry was brilliant for Pines and probably the best player on the ground, while Jamie Messina stayed calm despite enormous attention from the Kangas. Langwarrin coach Gavin Artico was uninspired with the win. “It was a pretty ordinary game of football, very scrappy,” Artico said. “I was happy that we were able to grind our way through it but it’s certainly not the style that we want to be playing. “We’ve got to find ways quickly of breaking the shackles if teams want to play highly contested footy. “I know Nepean League is a lot more free-flowing and not as contested, however, I think there’s a place for both in Peninsula League,” he said. Chelsea held off a fast finishing Seaford to win a thriller, 11.7 (73) to 10.8 (68). Playing at Chelsea Reserve, the Seagulls led by 31 points at quarter time, 29 points at the main interval and by 31 points at the final change. However, the Tigers booted 4.3 to just one behind in the final quarter to win by five points. Chelsea recruits Matt Smith and Matty Baxter were outstanding for their team while former St Kilda listed player Jayden Attard was also a catalyst in the win.
Matt and Todd Gardiner were also two of the best players on the ground. Tyson Horton, after a few years in the footy wilderness, booted three for the Tigers while James Quanchi played one of his best games for the club. Teenager Trae Tohiariki, along with Johnathan Haidon, were among the best players for the Tigers for the second week in succession. Mornington had to pull out all stops to get over the line against Karingal. Karingal led the Doggies at quarter time and trailed by just six points at half time. However, in the second half, the visitors were able to boot six goals to two to win 12.18 (90) to 8.3 (51). It was an insipid game of football and the Doggies have a lot of work to do if they are going to challenge the top teams in the competition. However, a highlight of the match was the work rate and class of recruit Danny Nolan through the middle of the ground, while Michael Gay is a man mountain in the ruck and will trouble the best this season. Emilio Bitters and Aiden Speedy provided all Mornington’s run, while Warwick Miller did some good things. There is a big whisper doing the rounds that Mornington is struggling with the points system and having to juggle players from week to week.
Karingal was much more competitive this week. Coach Stephen Coates said it was going to take time to get the team to gel. “The reality is that almost our entire senior 22 has changed and with this comes patience,” Coates said. “The first thing is to become competitive and then we worry about winning games of football. “What we have now are blokes who want to play for the Karingal Football Club. Those who don’t want to be here are no longer here.” “We’ll continue to improve and that is all I can ask,” he said. Michael Burke and Luke VanRaay led the way for the Bulls while Tom Wilkinson was good around the footy and Ray Lengyel had a real crack in the ruck. Of the Noble Park connection, Coates said the recruits were all looking for more game time. “We wanted young blokes first and foremost who wanted to be given an opportunity to play more regular senior footy. The large majority of them were in and out of the seniors at Noble. “George Angelopolous was the most experienced of the group we got and has been excellent in the first two rounds, while Sanith Jayasinghe has been doing a job for us down back.”
Defeat adds to hoodoo blues By Paulo Kennedy THE Princes Park hoodoo continued for the Frankston Dolphins with a gut-wrenching, after-the-siren defeat to the Blues on Saturday. Facing a Blues team packed with Carlton talent including Brock McLean, Jeff Garlett, Jarrad Waite and Cameron Wood, the Dolphins fought grimly just to stay in the game in the first half. Two crucial goals from Zig Alwan allowed Frankston to be within 19 points at the long break, but when the Blues booted the first two majors of the third stanza a blowout was on the cards. Reminiscent of their last win at Visy Park - over Collingwood in 2008 - the Dolphins charged back from 32 points down with an inspired display, star on-ballers Leigh Kitchin and Shane Hockey taking over around the packs. Forwards Khan Haretuku and Jarrad Matheson also put the team on their backs as they kicked three-apiece in a surge that left Carlton’s VFL team searching for answers. The Dolphins kicked five of the last seven games of the third term, and then kept on coming in the final quarter. When Mike Lourey brilliantly converted a deliberate outof-bounds free kick the Dolphins led by three points with 26 minutes gone in the final term and a boilover loomed. But devastatingly, the Blues’ Luke Reynolds slotted through the match-winning goal after the final siren after a free kick to cruel the outstanding Frankston challenge. The Dolphins return home on Sunday 20 April to face the Casey Scorpions at 2pm. Northern Blues 3.5 7.7 11.12 15.12 (102) Frankston 2.2 4.6 9.8 15.9 (99) GOALS: Northern Blues: Bell 3 Waite 2 White 2 Johnson 2 Thomas Wilson Giles Wood Reynolds McLean Frankston: Matheson 4 Haretuku 3 Cavarra 2 Alwan 2 Lourey Potts Hockey Tynan BEST: Northern Blues: McLean Bell Docherty White Holman Wood Frankston: Haretuku Hockey Kitchin Matheson Newman Pollard

Hillmen catch Sorrento early NEPEAN LEAGUE By Toe Punt RED HILL proved it is well and truly in the mix for a place in the top bracket after beating Sorrento on Saturday. The Hillmen were super impressive against Somerville in their round one match and backed up the performance against last year’s Nepean league runners-up on the weekend. The home side opened up a handy 27-point break in the second quarter before Sorrento made the most of the wind advantage in the third and booted four unanswered goals. Despite the surge, at no stage during the match was Sorrento in front. The Hillmen steadied in the final quarter and ran-out 12.9 (81) to 9.10 (64). It was the first time in more than a decade that Red Hill had beaten Sorrento. Jarryd Douglas backed up his six goals in the first match with another five against Sorrento, while Peter Dal Lago and Luke Adams dominated. YCW recruit Blake McCormack has made a real impression in his first two matches and Nick Batemen, fresh from Frankston Dolphins, stamped his authority on the contest. Despite being very happy with his

team’s performance, Red Hill coach Tony Blackford said “there was nothing to get over excited about.” “There’s no doubt that we got Sorrento at the right time,” Blackford said. “We played last week and had some match conditioning under our belts and it was Sorrento’s first game. “A couple of their players didn’t play a single practice match and of course, there’s no Scotty Cameron or Guy Stringer, who make an enormous difference to their side.” In saying that, Blackford didn’t want to take any credit away from his own team either. “We have a great bunch of players who want to improve and test themselves. There’s no bigger test than against the best team in the past 10 years. “We were challenged and we responded, which was great,” Blackford said. “We all know though that this is a very tight competition and it’s about being able to sustain it over the full season. “I couldn’t be happier with where we are at right now though. Beating Somerville at Somerville and Sorrento is a great start,” he said. Rosebud didn’t take very long to get

going, despite not playing last week. Against Hastings on Saturday, the Buds started with six opening quarter goals and were never threatened from that point on, winning 13.6 (84) to 8.14 (62). The Blues had their chances in the third quarter but inaccuracy in from of goals (2.2 to 3.6) hurt them. Greg Bentley was again at the top of his game for the Buds with three goals while Brenton Payne, Rhys Bancroft and Sorrento recruit Daniel Hickey dominated through the middle of the ground. Daniel Wishart was again at his best for the Blues while Colin McVeigh and Brendan Dunne shone. Justin Berry booted two goals and was amongst his team’s best. It was a good wake-up call for the Blues. Frankston Bombers hung on for a great victory over Pearcedale, winning 13.15 (93) to 12.15 (87). The Panthers led by 23 points at half time, however, the Bombers booted 7.5 to 2.0 in the third quarter with the wind to open up a two goal lead. Jay Reynolds, fresh from being in the final 22 for Foxtel reality show The Rookie, was best on ground with three goals. He didn’t make the final cut of 12 on Friday night’s show.
Both teams traded goals in the last quarter before the Bombers booted the last of the day to hold on and win. Duncan Proud was again outstanding for the Bombers while Mitch Bosward, who returned to his home club from Frankston Dolphins, was inspirational. Chris Fortnam was outstanding for the Panthers while Troy Jacobson, a former Stingray who played juniors with Langwarrin and Somerville, was also very good. Ruckman Ben Mitchell finished with three goals. Dromana suffered no premiership hangover, despite reports of an ordinary pre-season. The Tigers booted six goals to one with the wind in the opening quarter against RYE and were never threatened thereafter. Stuart Cleeve dominated in the ruck, Aaron Coyle enjoyed plenty of time on the ground and youngsters Jack Fowler and Aiden Musgrave took advantage of their opportunities. Then there were the stars Christian Ongarello and Terry Wheeler (three goals) who dominated. It was an impressive first up win for the Tigers, 13.14 (92) to 9.8 (62). Aaron Kirkwood and Ben Holmes were Rye’s best, while Andrew Dunn and Sam Smith were good through the middle of the ground.
Crib Point made it two solid wins in as many weeks, smashing Somerville by 58 points, 15.21 (111) to 7.11 (53). The Eagles can be thankful that the Pies kicked inaccurately, including booting 5.8 in the second quarter and 2.7 in the last. Jake Bromley was outstanding for the Pies yet again while James Cook and Luke Herrington (three goals) influenced the outcome. In even better news for the Pies, former Eagle Glenn Boyd and Hastings small forward Tim Churchin should both be available after ANZAC day. As for the Eagles, Justin Farrelly and Rohan Hogenbirk can’t return quick enough. In the final game of the round, Devon Meadows overwhelmed Tyabb as expected, winning 25.17 (167) to 11.10 (76). The Panthers booted 13 goals in the first half and 12 in the second, its most consistent performance since coming back into Nepean League. James Bow booted 12 goals in the win, adding to his four in round one. Clint Setford was at his best, while Gavin Kerr and Billy Hayes were also on top of their game. Callum Morris and Ethan Rahilly were the best of the Yabbies.
MOTORING Mazda3 wins 2014 Red Dot award for product design The all–new Mazda3, Mazda’s latest compact hatchback, has captured the “Red Dot Award: Product Design 2014” and the next major honour could be just around the corner. The Mazda3 was selected as one of the top three finalists for both 2014 World Car of the Year – the automobile industry’s single biggest accolade – and 2014 World Car Design of the Year. The Mazda3’s superb design innovation, functionality and ergonomics were among the decisive factors for the Red Dot Award’s 40-head jury of independent design experts. As for the 2014 World Car of the Year competition, the Mazda3 is the only non-German model in either group of finalists. Rivals for the overall trophy, chosen from 24 candidates, are the Audi A3 and BMW 4 Series. The jury of design experts, meanwhile, will size up Mazda’s all-time bestseller against the BMW i3 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. After capturing more than 150 awards to date and surpassing total production of 4 million units in January, this would be the biggest success yet for the Mazda3, which was first introduced in 2003. It would also be a crowning achievement for Mazda and the unconventional direction it has taken with its new-generation models. “The C segment makes up one-quarter of the passenger car market in Europe, which puts into perspective how special we wanted to make this car and how appealing it needs to be from the very first moment one lays eyes on it,” said Peter Birtwhistle, chief designer at Mazda’s European R&D Centre. “The recognition we’ve been receiving not only acknowledges the Mazda3’s magnetism. It also reflects the way this car raises expectations that it is entirely capable of fulfilling.”
