The swimming and rock-jumping hotspot – at which up to 300 young people enjoyed ideal beach weather that Saturday – has become a magnet for young people attracted by glowing descriptions on social media.

The site has a Facebook page and has become an unwanted cash cow for law enforcers. The downside is that young visitors park their cars on nature strips,

block roads, disregard road rules and hinder road users, especially on The Esplanade.

Mornington MP David Morris has called on the Roads Minister Luke Donnellan to “deal with this issue before we have an inevitable tragedy�. “This is an urgent matter,� Mr Morris said. “We need the minister to put his attention towards it now.�

Senior Sergeant Brett Coloe, of Mornington police, said the “high

number of pedestrians walking along the road on an already busy Esplanade is an accident waiting to happen�.

He said checks on most cars that busy weekend had found they were from Melbourne’s northern suburbs – far from Mt Martha. “This is a big issue for the locals,� he said last week. “We get around 50 complaints each weekend and the residents are pretty hostile – and quite naturally so.

Special charge may come without path David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au RATEPAYERS on the Mornington Peninsula could be required to contribute to special charge schemes for footpaths in their area but never get one built past their house.

This could occur if the Somers model – charging almost an entire community for a single footpath to be built – became a template for other areas, shire chief operating officer Alison Leighton told council’s 8 February meeting.

The Somers path is two kilometres away from some properties being asked to pay. “It’s not something that I can unambiguously rule out,� Ms Leighton said in answer to a question from David Gill, a leading opponent of the Somers plan.

Mr Gill later said Somers Village Community Association intends taking the matter to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT).

He said the motion to proceed with the concrete paths was moved by Red Hill ward councillor, Tim Wood who he believed “did little to put any case for his constituents�. “His effort was laughed at by the large gallery of people who can claim to be representing Somers after submitting 500 signatures opposing the 5.2 kilometre concrete path scheme,�

Mr Gill said. “The Somers Village Community Association is demanding an investigation into council methods used to in-

Path protest: Somers residents opposed to concrete footpaths and how they are being financed show their feelings before Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 8 February meeting. Councillors decided to proceed with a special charge scheme.

fluence people effected by the concrete paths scheme. This includes council paying for delivery of pamphlets [containing incorrect information] instigated by a group supporting the scheme.�

Ms Leighton said she was not aware of any other “area-wide� footpath projects being proposed, “but obviously it’s open to future councils of the day to make decisions around those kinds of projects�.

Such “area-wide� projects could also be proposed in urban areas of the peninsula.

The Somers footpath is contentious because it radically expands the catchment area of property owners who will be required to contribute to the special charge scheme. Some 1245 Somers properties will be levied: only a few are excluded.

Until now only owners of properties

directly abutting a new footpath, or on the opposite side of the road to it, have been required to pay the charge. This is because they get, as the Local Government Act requires, a “special benefit� from the footpath (section 163).

A number of council websites emphasise this to be their understanding of the legislation. Yarra Ranges council states: “A special charge scheme is generally introduced where the works proposed are to the special benefit of a defined group of properties. “Properties sharing a boundary with the works will generally receive special benefits such as ‌ improved property access, improved road safety, and general property amenity improvement.â€?

Before – and since – the Somers scheme was proposed, other peninsula footpath proposals have required

payment only from properties fronting the street where the path will be built.

These include a McCrae proposal, in which some property owners got a 20 per cent discount on grounds that remain puzzling.

The shire rationale was that the proposed path in one street was also used by residents from a more distant area, on the eastern side of the freeway.

However, these users were not identified or quantified and no attempt was made to impose a special charge on them, as is occurring with Somers’ distant residents.

Further, these McCrae pedestrians will also benefit from other sections of the new footpath, but properties adjoining those paths did not get any discount on their share of the cost.

The state government proposal to cap council rates at about the infla-

tion rate could be the impetus for this new strategy. Money raised by special charge schemes is excluded from the rate cap, as are municipal waste charges. Currently the shire does not have a waste charge separate from the annual rates and charges bill.

A ministerial guideline on special charge schemes issued in 2004 stated they were intended “to ensure councils retain the ability to recover reasonable contributions from people who will derive special benefits from particular works or services so that those special benefits do not need to be subsidised by general ratepayers�.

Several city law firms specialising in local government have indicated that councils may be able to sidestep the rate cap. One, Macquarie Local Government Lawyers, suggests councils can use special charge schemes “for any purpose considered to be within the attainment of their objectives�.

The act is being substantially revised, possibly to close loopholes that would subvert the rate cap policy.

It states councils may declare these schemes for “a function or the exercise of a power� if it considers that the scheme “will be of special benefit� to those required to pay for it.

Councils have long taken this to apply to a limited number of works where the special benefit test applies.

Yarra Ranges Shire’s website lists projects such as roads, footpaths and drainage, adding that such a scheme “may also be considered for township development and traffic management projects�.

Humbled: Greh Hunt accepts his Best Minister in the World award at the Wolrd Government Summit, Dubai.

Best Minister award for Hunt’s carbon cuts FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt has been named Best Minister in the World for his role, as Australia’s Environment Minister, in reducing carbon emissions by 93 million tonnes.

The award was announced and presented to Mr Hunt at the World Government Summit in Dubai on Tuesday 9 February.

“I am genuinely humbled to receive the award.

I am however deeply proud that this inaugural award is being presented to an environment minister. The environment is our common heritage, our land, our home and our identity,” Mr Hunt said in his acceptance speech.

Mr Hunt is the inaugural recipient of the annual award introduced at the summit “to honour the best minister in the world who has led a new and successful qualitative government project with positive results for citizens. It is also aimed at promoting best practices that would inspire other government leaders to implement their own successful projects”.

The award was presented to Mr Hunt by prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Nominations for the best minister award came

from more than 80 countries. UAE ministers were excluded from the first award.

Mr Hunt said the UAE – an oil producer – “is promoting renewable industry while supporting research in clean technology”.

“There are great challenges. However, I am fundamentally optimistic. In that context, we all learn from each other and perhaps there are some policies and programs we have in Australia that maybe can be implemented domestically and internationally.”

The 93 million tonnes of emissions reduction attributed to Mr Hunt is the result of the Emissions Reduction Fund supported by $2.55 billion for the federal government to buy carbon abatement at the lowest cost through a reverse auction.

Mr Hunt says the scheme’s two auctions achieved 93 million tonnes of emissions reduction from 275 practical projects at an average price of $13 a tonne.

While Mr Hunt’s efforts receive international recognition and acclaim, back home his constituents are ot always so appreciative of his political stance. “Hunt stands firm on official asylum

seeker line,” Page 11

TOPICS to be discussed at a lunchtime forum on Friday include ideas and strategies to help businesses on the Mornington Peninsula.

Water – its source, distribution, and cost – is high on the agenda.

Nepean MP Martin Dixon listed the key topics as:  Creating a year-round, economically selfsufficient tourism industry;  Accessing a sustainable and cost effective water supply;  Developing jobs, employment and training for local industry;  Assessing growth opportunities for agri-business and/or agri-tourism, and  Assessing the costs and limitations of doing business locally.

Business and community leaders are expected to attend the informal session at the Nepean Country Club, Boneo.

Water supply on the peninsula – on the plains and in the hinterland – will be a focal point. Mr Dixon plans to outline a long term water infrastructure concept being discussed with the Minister for Water’s office.

“The aim is to establish bipartisan community agreement on a broad plan to end the dumping of Class A treated water at Boags Rocks and get that much needed water, at an affordable price, into the hinterland of Red Hill, Red Hill South, Shoreham and Main Ridge – wherever it is needed,” he said.

“Farmers up there could drastically increase

production with a reliable, cost effective water supply, and this would have the knock-on benefit of restoring environmental flows into our hinterland creeks and could do much to assist the issues currently being endured down at Balnarring Beach.”

Mr Dixon said feedback would be used to develop long term policy objectives for the peninsula.

Melbourne Water last week could not confirm the amount of water being discharged at Boags Rocks, near Gunnamatta.

“Initial discussions seem to indicate it is a significant amount and, yes, it is Class A designed for agricultural use,” Mr Dixon’s office said. “It is actually drinkable, although Melbourne Water recommend not to.”

South East Water says it provides around 2200 million litres of recycled water annually to businesses and non-residential customers across the Mornington Peninsula: from Frankston to Boneo and across to Somers and Merricks.

Melbourne Water’s Eastern Treatment Plant treats around 40 per cent of metropolitan Melbourne’s sewage – around 350 million litres a day.

The discharge at Boags Rocks, near Gunnamatta – whatever its amount – is expected to meet EPA Victoria licence conditions.

Around 6000 million litres of recycled water from the Eastern Treatment Plant is used for agriculture, golf courses, public open space watering, commercial laundering, and residential dual-pipe applications, such as garden watering, washing machines and toilet flushing, much of it on the peninsula.

The lunchtime forum is at Nepean Country Club Browns Rd, Boneo. Details: 5986 6661.

Inherent dangers: Senior Sergeant Brett Coloe is concerned about pedestrian safety at The Esplanade, Mt Martha, hotspot.

Picture: Yanni

Drivers take a dive at The Pillars girl was conveyed there by a civilian in a nearby boat.

“She had come from Broadmeadows, which would seem typical of most visiting the site.

“We’ve got no control over the safety aspects of the site but we can control those attending. The issue is not the site but the people who use it.”

Senior Sergeant Coloe said police “empathised with residents and shared their frustrations regarding both the issues of safety and inconvenience”.

Speaking in Parliament last Wednesday, Mr Morris said Mr Donnellan should work with the council to find an amicable solution to the increased popularity of The Pillars.

He said VicRoads should “undertake the necessary works to resolve the current serious traffic and road safety concerns in that area”.

“Usage until recently has been relatively low, but social media has changed all that. It appears on YouTube, Facebook and other sites, so we

Continued from Page 1 “Part of our brief is to provide them with reassurance that their plight has been heard.”

Senior Sergeant Coloe said “competing priorities meant balancing police attendance at this location with calls for service elsewhere” was a challenge.

“The safety concerns at The Pillars are significant, so we will continue to focus on those using the location and working with council to consider common sense solutions.”

He said fining drivers would not solve safety concerns inherent to the site – a narrow, busy road, limited parking options and hundreds of young pedestrians attracted to the thrill of jumping from the cliff into clear water.

“The injury suffered by the young girl jumping from the cliff face on the 19 January could have resulted in a fatality,” Senior Sergeant Coloe said.

“On that occasion the Air Ambulance and Police Air Wing attended the Safety Beach Marina after the young

now have very high pedestrian activity on The Esplanade in an area that does not have shoulder treatments for pedestrians.”

Mr Morris described feedback from VicRoads as “unhelpful and obstructive”.

“The shire sought vegetation trimming and a speed-limit reduction,” he said. “The vegetation trimming requested was along the edge of the road seal. The second area was the introduction of a reduced speed limit.

“VicRoads has suggested to the shire that it would be possible to do a variable speed limit from 9am to 9pm. [But] this wouldn’t be reasonable as it would require a traffic management company changing the speed limits twice daily, which is extremely impracticable.”

Meanwhile, The Pillars will continue to attract young thrill-seekers and annoy older residents, while our lawmakers seek solutions to managing its growing popularity.

Talk about history: Lars Tharp will talk at the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society’s first meeting for the year.

Speakers explore arts, history LARS Tharp, a presenter on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow program, is the first speaker for the year of the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Society, Mornington Peninsula branch.

The ceramics and oriental art specialist, broadcaster and speaker will tell the story of London’s Foundling Hospital, at 5.30pm, Friday 26 February, at Peninsula Community Theatre, Wilsons Rd, Mornington.

The Foundling hospital was established in 1739 by philanthropic sea captain Thomas Coram as a home for the education and maintenance of exposed and deserted young children.

Artist William Hogarth had a long association with the hospital and was a governor, as was composer George Handel.

“Lars will explore how Thomas Coram

achieved his aim of providing a refuge for ‘foundlings’, and for babies at risk of infanticide, and the part Hogarth and Handel played in this. It is a gripping story with huge resonance for our own time,” society chair Janet Glaspole said.

Those wishing to attend should call Glad Hungerford, 9787 2092, who will reserve a seat for $20.

The hour-long, illustrated lectures are followed by light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the lecturer and members.

A range of topics to be covered this year includes “Inside Monet’s house at Giverny”; “Elizabeth Taylor’s greatest love affair … with jewels” and “The aesthetics of traditional Japanese architecture and design”.

AWNINGS FANTASTIC DEALS ON HOUSE LOTS

Rotary honours workmanship FOUR people who have “given outstanding community service to the local community” received Rotary Club of Mt Eliza pride of workmanship awards last month.

The ceremony was held at Toorak College.

Vocational excellence winner Kate Poole, of Morning Star Estate, was honoured for her team leadership and customer service skills. Three other winners were named in the community service section: Ann Scholes, Stephen Baker and Jacqui Woodward.

Ms Scholes is head of The Friends of Williams Rd beach who have rejuvenated a section of the foreshore; Mr Baker, as Mt Eliza Junior Football

Club president over the past five years, has played a role in the growth of football among boys and girls, and Ms Woodward’s community service has included seven years as president of the Mt Eliza Garden Club. Over the past four years she has taken historic tours through The Briars and is now a member of Mornington Peninsula Inner Wheel.

“Each of the four recipients of the awards have demonstrated their ongoing dedication to enhancing the lifestyle and well-being of the community and greatly deserve recognition,” Rotary Club of Mt Eliza president Bernie Edwards said.

Garage sale of special significance MT ELIZA girl Lily Ford’s garage sale raised $275 for an orphanage in Nepal last week.

Out went games, books, clothes, toys and furniture – and all sorts of knick-knacks that bargain hunters find so irresistible.

But the sale had more significance for Lily than just raising money for a worthy cause.

The charity it supported was the special interest of Frankie Davison, her teacher at Toorak College, who tragically died with her husband Liam when the ill-fated Malaysian Airlines flight MH-17 was shot down over The Ukraine in July 2014.

Lily and the whole school simply loved Frankie: her zest for life, her genuine good nature, her passion for her craft and her creativity in teaching it.

Lily’s links go even deeper. Last year she was awarded Toorak College’s Frankie Davison Award for the student who demonstrates excellence in English and Humanities – Frankie’s subjects.

“I was thrilled when I heard that I had won the Frankie Davison Award. Everyone adored her and her passion for teaching,” Lily said.

The Year 10 student recently met Frankie’s mother, Maggie, and was touched by how moved the older woman was when discussing her late daughter.

That gave her the motivation to hold the

garage sale. “It was so wonderful to meet Frankie’s mum in person and show her some of my written work,” she said.

Switching chairs and voting for something concrete THE first thing the alert observer noticed at the Monday 8 February meeting of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council was the changed seating arrangements for councillors. David Gibb was not sitting beside Hugh Fraser. He had broken away from the ward-by-ward seating arrangement, leaving Antonella Celi sitting alone at the far left end of the councillor half-circle.

Cr Gibb had moved to the seat usually occupied by Red Hill Ward councillor Tim Wood, beside Cerberus ward’s representative, Cr David Garnock. Cr Wood was ensconced beside fellow lawyer Cr Fraser, in Cr Gibb’s previous seat.

Since it is not like Cr Gibb to disturb an established arrangement, especially an ordered one such as ward-by-ward seating. Council Watch was immediately intrigued. Had there been a falling-out between councillors?

Until now the arrangement, running clockwise around the half-circle, was Briars ward (Anne Shaw, Andrew “Billy” Dixon and Bev Colomb), then single-ward councillors David Garnock, Tim Wood and Lyn Bowden.

Then followed just after the half-way mark, Nepean ward pair Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser. Finally, the Seawinds trio, Cr Gibb, Graham Pittock and Cr Celi used to be found.

Cr Pittock occupies the mayoral chair, at the top table, for his year in office.

Lyn Bowden also sailed off to a new location

last Monday, berthing beside Cr Rodgers.

The newly seated councillors chatted amiably, indicating that the change was as good as a holiday – or as a cure, as some would have it.

The meeting was smooth, uneventful and, apart for a couple of moments, boringly incident-free.

Reptiles of the press, as journalists like CW are fondly known in some quarters, like a little bit of hoppo-bumpo to enliven their reports.

In fact the greatest disturbances came from the gallery, packed to the ceiling tiles with antifootpath protesters from Somers. Cr Pittock was lenient until the volume edged higher – murmurs of disagreement, zephyrs then veritable gales of laughter – as council officers strove to respond to 36 questions about the Somers path, lodged only minutes before the meeting began.

Chided, the gallery showed respect for the

chair and the meeting process. A polite lot, are Somers folk. A lady sitting beside CW was heard to utter an indignant “Nonsense!” once, but so sotto voce that not even her neighbours heard it clearly.

Much was made in the 36 questions of the plan for a concrete path. Cheaper in the long run, is the shire’s position. Crushed rock – “granitic sand” is the technical term, it appears – is tiresomely demanding of regular maintenance, the gallery was told.

But what if granitic sand is what the community wants, for aesthetic reasons? And besides, such a path is cheaper to build.

The shire was ready for that. The savings would soon “evaporate” in added maintenance, protesters were told, quoting the number of years before maintenance was required, a period that appeared to truncate from five years to three in the course of a few responses.

Councillors approved the footpath. But the deal is not yet quite concrete.

CW has to keep reminding himself during such debates, where the citizenry prefers something other than that which the shire is proposing (concrete is a favoured shire solution for many things), that the shire does not actually pay for such things as footpaths: ratepayers do, by way of their rates and special charge schemes.

He idly wonders whether, when a shire officer sits down with her or his spouse to talk about redecorating the lounge, do aesthetics come into it, or is it all about cost and utility? Communities live in their own aesthetic environment, footpaths and all. Few concrete their front gardens for the cost benefit.

And ratepayers foot most of the bill for the path that will run past their properties. Why, precisely, should the shire have the final word on its construction?

When a granitic sand path requires maintenance, the property owner will again foot the bill. They would probably happily pay a little more for what they want and happily pay to maintain it. Have they seen the cost comparisons? Have they been asked if they’d pay the difference?

In the meantime, whether it’s a footpath, or the private decision to paint the lounge red with bold blue spots, the ratepayer lives with the aesthetics.

We have to be cost-realistic, but why not let the community soul shine through in such details. The shire rightly indulges its aesthetic sensibilities when it builds and decorates shire buildings, stocks libraries, cleans beaches, maintains parks and gardens. Why not granitic sand, for heaven’s sake? We’re paying for it.

Parks chief to outline vision PARKS Victoria chief executive Bradley Fauteux will speak about his vision for national parks, including Point Nepean, at Saturday’s annual general meeting of Nepean Conservation Group.

“Bradley Fauteux supports Parks Victoria’s Healthy Parks Healthy People approach to managing parks, and brings with him extensive experience in park management, environmental issues and stakeholder relations,” the group’s president Dr Ursula de Jong said.

Ms de Jong said Mr Fauteux’s visit followed a January in which “the media put a spotlight on the plight of Victoria’s national parks, highlighting funding cuts, lack of resources, loss of personnel, and calling on the state government to take serious and immediate action to redress the situation”.

It also comes two weeks after two open days were held at Point Nepean to discuss Parks Victoria’s plans for developing the Quarantine Station section of the park following the state government’s rejection of a multi-million development accepted by the previous Liberal-led government.

The Nepean Conservation Group’s annual general meeting starts 3.30pm Saturday 20 February, at Badcoe Hall, in the former Quarantine Station precinct of Point Nepean National Park.

Major results by reducing mynas ANY species that can beat the cane toad and feral cat to the title of “Worst Pest in Australia” for their deleterious impact on native species deserves to be taken seriously.

Indian mynas appear to wear that tag with pride.

The aggressive, territorial pests are a serious threat to native birds and other small animals.

Also called common mynas, they are rated by the World Conservation Union as one of the world’s 100 most invasive species.

Southwest Mornington Peninsula Landcare Group members are inviting residents to a free Indian myna workshop on Saturday 20 February.

Fauna ecologist Malcolm Legg will discuss how the birds are devastating our biodiversity and how we can help control them. State-approved techniques for humanely euthanising the birds will also be addressed.

Landcare group president Rob Nigro will show how to build a wire mesh cage, providing the materials and an instruction booklet.

Mr Nigro sees the workshop as a way of highlighting the impact of pests on native species.

“Indian mynas out-compete native birds for habitat, hollows and food,” he said. “Controlling their population is part of maintaining biodiversity.”

Mr Legg said the aggressive nature of Indian mynas during breeding season saw them “hassle and evict native birds and small mammals, such as sugar gliders, out of tree hollows. They may also kill native chicks and destroy eggs”.

“Controlling mynas will stop them taking over important breeding hollows and help stop the spread of diseases and parasites to native birds,” Mr Legg said.

Mornington Peninsula Landcare facilitator Jacqui Salter said groups elsewhere in Australia had successfully removed I(ndian mynas.

“The Cairns Remove Indian Mynas Group, working with their local men’s sheds, has removed about 40,000 birds since they began in 2011,” she said. “It would be great to get a similar movement happening here.”

Hearts flutter as ‘Fowlers chick’ takes flight Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au THE flight of a small bird on a quiet southern Mornington Peninsula surf beach saw people jumping for joy.

A young hooded plover that stretched its wings before gaining altitude from Fowlers beach is the first recorded successful take-off by a fledged hooded plover chick this season.

However, a note of caution underlies the applause and relief experienced by the small band of people dedicated to the hooded plover's survival on the peninsula.

If the small birds are to remain in viable numbers, that chick needs to be joined in the air by at least another nine before the breeding season ends.

Sadly, if history is any guide, this number is unlikely to be reached.

Friends of the Hooded Plover (Mornington Peninsula) president Diane Lewis described the flight of the chick at Fowlers as being “a joy and relief”.

“It is such a wonderful feeling seeing these little chicks fly.”

Ms Lewis said that since last August volunteers had spent more than 1000 hours “investing time and energy” watching “these shy little birds” at various beaches, many facing the frequent fury of the Bass Strait surf.

Although this breeding season’s statistics are still coming in, the volunteers and Parks Victoria rangers have since September monitored 74 nesting attempts by 32 pairs of hooded plovers. Some of the pairs have nested up to five times without

Plovers count: Volunteers, from left, Val Ford, Loos Greene, Karen Wooton, Jo Hansen and Rosalba Caterna, at Fowlers beach on the southern Mornington Peninsula where the first hooded plover chick of the season has managed to take flight.

result, while others have given up after the first attempt.

Of the 35 chicks that have hatched just six were alive two weeks ago.

And of those survivours three were more than four weeks old and the others just days old.

Four nests were still classed as “active”.

The situation for the plovers is dire.

Calling where they lay their eggs a nest can be misleading. There is no structured nest, just a depression in the sand.

Although well camouflaged the eggs are easily spotted by marauding seagulls, ravens or magpies. They are also trampled by roaming dogs and favoured by foxes.

Once hatched, the chicks can run but not fly and again become prey to a variety of animals and birds. A kestrel was recorded by a time-lapse camera earlier this year attacking a fledgling.

The amount of rejoicing by the protectors of the hooded plover at the survival of just one chick is so high

because the chances of a chick ever taking to the air are so slim.

“After 19 years of weekly monitoring hooded plovers on Fowlers and nearby beaches I still walk onto the beaches with my fingers crossed,” Val Ford of BirdLife Mornington Peninsula said.

“Will the nest still be there or will it have been washed away by a very high tide? Arriving on the beach and seeing both parents feeding on the rock shelf is always a worry – why isn’t one bird on the nest and the other on guard nearby?”

The vulnerability of the birds heightens Ms Ford’s fears.

“How many dogs will be either on or off lead and roaming the beach?

Unfortunately, Fowlers and nearby beaches are dog central; many beach users ignore the no dogs and dogs on lead regulations.

“Have the parents been able to see every potential danger and get the chicks hidden away before they are trampled on or chased by dogs, have

the parents been able to brood the chicks in their critical first 10 days.

“After the adults’ three failed nesting attempts the Fowlers beach hooded plover chick achieved lift off – the chick had survived 35 days and fledged. I can now uncross the fingers.”

Karen Wooton, a relatively newcomer to the Friends of the Hooded Plover group feels “incredibly fortunate” to have seen what is now known as “the Fowlers chick”.

“From vulnerable cotton ball on pretzel legs to bold, confident, independence. I’ve learned about - and I’ve seen - the challenges these beautiful little birds face just trying to do what most of us take for granted: live, flourish, raise a family and stay safe,” she writes in an account of her time with the group.

Ms Wooton said the only challenge facing hooded plovers that could be changed is “the human impact component”.

“If we could all just be a bit more

respectful and thoughtful with what we do on those days at the beach we might be able to tip the balance in the hoodies favour.

“They have nowhere else to go. The beach is their home.

“An unleashed dog can trample a nest, crush an egg, traumatise or kill a chick. Protective parents may hide a chick from danger and, while that chick is protected, neither parents nor chick will forage and feed for the duration of the disturbance.

“Repeat this disturbance on multiple occasions and ‘failed’ will be entered on the hooded plover database. Another loss.”

Ms Wooton said hooded plovers would stand a greater chance of survival if dogs were taken to “dog friendly” beaches and if people would sit away from fenced off areas and walk close to the water’s edge.

Failure in nature was inevitable, but simple changes to human behaviour could bring success to the hooded plovers.

Hunt stands firm on official asylum seeker line Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt last Friday week defended the federal government’s policy of returning 267 asylum seekers, including 39 children and 33 babies, to the Nauru detention centre after they have received medical treatment in Australia.

He explained the government’s asylum seeker policies to 21 members of Amnesty International’s Mornington Peninsula branch gathered outside his Hastings office.

Amnesty member Murray Anderson said the group was unable to get assurances from Mr Hunt that children would not be detained or sent back to Nauru.

Amnesty has stepped up its campaign against offshore detention centres following a High Court decision which said the government’s policy was lawful.

Mr Anderson said he asked three times why children could not be brought to Australia before Mr Hunt “indicated that if detainees were to be given an Australian landing then the boats would start again and the smugglers will be back in business”.

“This answered my question and I upset Mr Hunt slightly when I said ‘Then you are holding the children as hostages’. It was the word ‘hostages’ to which I believe he took most umbrage,” Mr Anderson said.

“I do not believe [Mr Hunt] is not compassionate. He has worked overseas in Asia [and] would be fully aware of the dangers many asylum seekers face and feel for them.

“Unfortunately, his compassion in

Protest central

THE Hastings office of Flinders MP Greg Hunt has become a rallying point for protesters: the environment, coal mining and export, the Great Barrier Reef, and asylum seekers. The protesters come dressed as fish and angels to see the environment minister. But the ones most able to affect Mr Hunt’s electoral chances are like those gathered outside his Hastings office on Friday. Mr Hunt emerged to “chat” with the people who live and vote in his electorate.

these areas seems to be buried by his party loyalty. I wonder how he speaks in the party room.”

In a statement emailed to The News Mr Hunt said he met the group which “arrived at my office without an appointment” and had been able to “chat with them briefly between meetings”.

Mr Hunt said the “government wel-

comes input from anyone who has constructive feedback on how offshore processing can be improved”.

He also outlined how he believed “Labor’s failures” had led to increasing numbers of people seeking asylum in Australia and people dying at sea Amnesty International issued a news release saying it “believes that these

people seeking asylum would be at real risk of serious human rights violations if returned to Nauru”.

“Despite the findings of the High Court, which only examined Australian law, it is clear that their return would violate Australia’s international obligations,” Amnesty’s refugee coordinator Dr Graham Thom said.

“All asylum seekers on Nauru suffer the effects of harsh living conditions: their mental and physical wellbeing is being eroded each day, driving people to self-harm and attempted suicide.

“Additionally, Amnesty International has continually received extremely concerning reports of sexual harassment and sexual abuse of women and children asylum-seekers in Nauru.”

Mr Hunt said service providers were contracted by the government “to ensure transferees’ needs are adequately met, including health and welfare services and specialist services for those under 18 years of age”.

“Personally, I believe any life lost at sea is unnecessary and that is why the Australian government is working so hard to prevent further deaths of asylum seekers making their way to Australia,” he stated.

“Offshore processing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea is one part of a range of measures being used to stop the people smuggling trade and prevent further illegal maritime arrivals to Australia.

“All people transferred and accommodated at offshore processing centres are treated with dignity and respect and in accordance with human rights standards” Dr Thom said the Nauru processing centre “puts vulnerable people at risk and operates with an unacceptable lack of transparency”.

“This secrecy must be addressed and the independent monitoring mechanism - which was agreed to under the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture - needs to be established.”

LETTERS Islands of cruelty One only has look at Australia’s convict history to understand the plight of asylum seekers incarcerated on remote islands. It is uncannily similar to the rationale and actions of the current (and former) federal government.

In Tasmania in the 1800s the social perception of invalids as a moral contagion and economic burden was maintained by official measure which sought to criminalise these people.

In 1860, Kennerly, Maxwell and Crowther wrote to the Colonial Secretary in Tasmania, another island where people who arrived on boats were prevented from leaving by law: “It may truly be said it is a chaining of the living to the dead, and many years must elapse before this young colony can emerge from its present state into a more natural and healthy condition, encumbered as it is by this moral and material deadweight, retarding its progress, and destroying its best interests."

Nothing much has changed in 150 years to the government attitude to people arriving in boats.

Australia has continued this morally bankrupt tradition of chaining the living to the dead.

9/2/2016)? Does he remember the GFC? He probably doesn’t, as some Liberals deny it ever happened.

Australia was the envy of the world because of sound fiscal policy and during that time Labor had a very able treasurer in Wayne Swan, recognised for his competence by being awarded the Euromoney Finance Minister of the year in 2011.

The Abbott/Turnbull governments have the debts that Barrie Hunt mentioned because of their own doing. They had Joe Hockey, the doyen of economics (in his own mind) running amok, smoking his cigars and making all sorts of cuts to education, health and welfare, not to mention the raising of taxes and charges. Quite clearly, he was out of his depth.

Now we are blessed with Scott Morrison, still slashing away.

Cutting funding to what matters most to low and middle income families and the unemployed is what Liberal conservative governments do to keep the top end of town happy.

Bus need proved

Councillor spending

It is time for Transport Minister Jacinta Allan to stop the political games and properly fund the Penbus instead of just funding another trial, which does not even match existing services, as announced last week.

To clarify some of the misinformation that has been published in the past, the Penbus was a trial, funded by the federal government and with enormous assistance from Mornington Peninsula Shire, was able to extend these limited funds for nearly three years. The federal government doesn’t fund buses into the PTV network, but in this case the trial was set up to test demand from local students who need to travel to Melbourne for education and training.

It has been a resounding success and at the completion of the trial the service was to be taken up by PTV, if indeed the demand was seen to be there.

The demand has clearly proven to be there and this success was principally achieved because the Penbus enabled local students to get to Monash Clayton by 8am and stay until the end of classes at 6pm.

In the half-baked funding solution announced late last week by Jacinta Allan these early and late services are, astoundingly, omitted. Further, the “solution” and the “saving” of the Penbus, touted by the minister last week, is nothing but spin because the Victorian government is only committing to a 12-month trial. Having another trial is ridiculous as we have already had a threeyear trial and the omission of the early and late bus will lower demand and risk dooming this service to inevitable and unnecessary failure.

It is high time that Ms Allan puts people first, instead of politics, and properly funds this much needed bus service.

Martin Dixon, MP for Nepean

It seems as if Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors have learned how to copy the ways of certain federal MPs. Some, by spending more than they are entitled to, call their integrity in question (“Council nod to lift expenses”, The News 9/2/2016).

No doubt it is an honour to be elected to council. It is also a responsibility not to be accepted without noting that public funds are not a piggy bank to be used whenever an excuse can be justified.

David Harrison’s report supports my view that local councillors are as liable to take liberty with ratepayer’s fund as MPs in general with public revenue. Those who seek to serve should also seek to save.

Creative accounting In the good old days shire's had dedicated councillors who donated their time to serving the community. I distinctly remember that real estate agents were the most altruistic citizens of all: they were on almost every council throughout Australia.

Then came corporation, executives and business structure and the town clerk was no more.

The article “Council nod to lift expenses” (The News 9/2/2016) reinforces my belief that that the council is just a milking cow for many councillors. The job is a nice little earner with a salary and expenses and $16,000 for "conferences and seminars".

Work it right and you can also get a $10,000 diploma, a directors course and a free trip to Paris (or Timor or Copenhagen) paid for by us blind ratepayers. We are never consulted because these very councillors represent us.

Even if you overspend your $16,000 allowance and make it $30,810, council will approve it by a "special resolution". What a nice club.

This supreme creative accounting is available to all councillors. Even a staffer got a free trip to Paris - a new trend.

Thanks only to The News, I am horrified. I have never seen any of these practices men-

tioned in the council propaganda publication Peninsula Wide where I have only seen articles about how wonderful our council is.

Roadside rubbish Having recently taken a road trip between the Mornington Peninsula and Sydney, I am forced to concede that the peninsula has the filthiest and most littered road network.

Large piles of hard rubbish sit on roadsides for months at a time. Note the squalor on the Moorooduc Highway. Take a drive along The Esplanade from Mt Martha to Safety Beach and try to find two metres of roadside not trashed by takeaway wrappers and bottles.

Is the portion of our rates allocated for environmental services being redeployed for travel expenses perhaps? David Martin, Mt Martha

Not concentration I was appalled to read the letter from Rupert Steiner (“Please explain”, 9/02/2016) in which he used the term “concentration camps” to describe the federal government’s detention centres for Illegal immigrants.

To all of us who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, this term represents one of the most evil chapters in world history and to use it to describe present day detention is both totally wrong in fact and an insult to the millions of lives lost.

If Mr Steiner has any compassion he should write an immediate retraction for his terrible lack of judgement in his letter.

Let’s look at some facts. In the last year of the Howard government only one boat made it into Australian waters. Under Rudd/Gillard/Rudd, 51,000 Illegal Immigrants made it to Australia including 8400 children.

On top of that, at least 1200 lives were lost at sea.

Does Mr Steiner have any idea how long it takes to process the backgrounds of 51,000 people? I do. In the 1970s I was a detective attached to the Commonwealth Police immigration squad dealing with just these sort of cases and to do a full background check just can’t be done in five minutes.

What he and others fail to admit is that the current policy on arrivals is working, to the point where, when the backload of Labor’s shame is cleared, there will be no men, women or children left in these facilities.

His demand that our local federal MP [Greg Hunt] give his personal justification for the governments immigration policy shows a total lack of comprehension of how successive governments have worked since Federation.

The prime minister speaks in public on all policies. The relevant ministers speak publicly on matters related to their portfolios.

Ask our MP about local matters and matters pertaining to his ministry, but not matters of immigration.

If the panel chose him for his work on protecting the Great Barrier Reef, or Australian forests, they must have got their information from the mining and extraction industries. No environmentalist could agree with the panel’s choice.

But if the criteria was the blind defence and justification of unjustifiable policy of his government, the hat fits perfectly.

Rupert Steiner, Balnarring Beach

Environmental wrongs Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt in his letter (“Australia on track”, 26/1/2016) states that Australia should be proud of the agreement reached in Paris. What he fails to mention is that this agreement is "nonbinding", will not be monitored and is therefore virtually meaningless.

We have only agreed that we should do something, but we retain the freedom to do absolutely nothing, and nothing is exactly what we will do.

I see Mr Hunt's tenure as environment minister as being nothing short of an unmitigated disaster: coal mine approvals, scrapping of solar rebates, logging World Heritage old growth forest, shark culls in WA. Not a pretty picture and certainly nothing any environment minister should even countenance, let alone allow.

John Shorter, McCrae

Political loyalties On 5 February a diverse group met with Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt outside his Hastings office to raise yet again the plight of detainees in Australia's offshore detention centres, with particular emphasis on the children.

I was able to talk face to face with Mr Hunt and I hope he agrees with my recall of this conversation. I asked the question: "Why cannot Australia bring the 100 remaining children in these centres to Australia tonight?"

Mr Hunt began to give me a history of how the children came to be there. I assured him that I was not questioning the history and repeated my question.

His next reply was to stress that his government had lowered the number of children in detention and that not only his political party but the main opposition party were jointly responsible for the present situation regarding asylum seekers. I again agreed, but once more posed the question he had not yet answered.

Mr Hunt then indicated that if detainees were to be given an Australian landing then the boats would start again and the smugglers would be back in business.

This answered my question and I upset Mr Hunt slightly with my next remark: "Then you are holding the children as hostages". It was the word "hostages" to which I believe he took most umbrage.

I managed to have him hear that I believed his party would benefit greatly if it did fly all children to Australia. I did not get time to add “with those parents not categorised as terrorists”.

I do not believe Mr Hunt is not compassionate as he has worked overseas in Asia and would be fully aware of the dangers many asylum seekers face and feel for them. Unfortunately, his compassion in these areas seems to be buried by his party loyalty. Murray Anderson, Tootgarook

Mornington News 16 February 2016

THE FUTURE LOOKS FRIENDLY WITH SOLAR After noticing an issue in the solar industry, which was flooded with large, impersonal, profit driven companies, inexperienced and pushy salespeople and poor workmanship by hired labour, Guy Skewes was determined to create something different. That was 15 years ago, and since then his business Future Friendly has skyrocketed.

“Future Friendly is committed to providing the highest quality workmanship and therefore demand the best quality electrical work and customer service from their electricians,” said Guy. “We perform all types of electrical work, not just solar, with experience in the domestic, commercial and industrial sector. Working on the Mornington Peninsula from big commercial jobs to residential. After being in the industry for 15 years, we have installed over 7500 systems. Our team is all licensed electricians specialising in renewal energy, not unqualified salespeople. From the first call or email we can give advice on any electrical work, solar power, battery power, wind power, and have done jobs ranging from six panels up to 3500 panels. We did a huge job in Rosebud West for Australian Underwater Products, installing about 160 panels, as well as the new gym in Sorrento, Recreation, installing about 80 panels. We are also doing numerous jobs on the Moonah Links Golf course.”

With solar panels, a small investment will set you up for energy and dollar savings. And with 15 years’ experience, Guy and the team are proud of the reputation they have built for quality service and workmanship.

“With solar power being a relatively new industry, being in it for 15 years is quite an achievement,” said Guy. “When you have solar powered installed, the initial outlay is recovered within a four or five year period. Solar panels have a lifetime of 25 years so you are effectively getting 20 years of free power.”

A Mornington Peninsula local, Guy says they do a lot of jobs here and on the other side of the bay.

“People used to look at getting smaller systems like 2 or 3 kilowatt systems, but with the costs of panels and systems being so cheap, people are opting for the bigger 5, 10, or 15 kilowatt systems, cutting out the use of gas and saving double the money on their power bills,” said Guy. “I’m working on doing a house in McCrae next year where the entire house will run off timers and solar panels. The hot water and slab heating runs off timers, split system air conditioning runs off panels, and the cooking, pool and pool pump all run off panels as well. If you have a pool it is well worth getting solar heating and will cut down your electricity costs by more than half.”

Future Friendly install solar power in both the home and workplace, installing panels in hotels, motels, shopping centres, panel beaters, mechanics, bowls and surf clubs.

“It makes sense for a business to have solar power as they are often open at least 8 hours a day, sometimes a lot more. For that time you can be making excellent savings with solar,” said Guy. Future Friendly prides itself on providing a personalized service and expertise unequalled within the industry.

ENJOYING perhaps the best location in town with High Street, supermarkets and the library all within a 1 to 2 block radius, this splendid period home is an opportunity not to be missed. The block-fronted Victorian era home has been transformed again by a major renovation with a striking street appeal highlighted by timber decking from the footpath to the front door. Baltic pine floorboards extend along the wide hallway and throughout all rooms of the home, with high ceilings accentuating the sense of space and light. From the front, there are two spacious bedrooms,

a private outdoor room which will greatly increase the living space, particularly during these warmer months. The area is fully undercover and partially enclosed with shade blinds and there is lighting overhead, making this area a welcome entertaining space for family and friends. The 992 square metre block has been well-fenced with off-street parking alongside the home where a set of double gates open to a wide gravel driveway leading up to a huge garage with high-span parking for boats and caravans, a second garage and a single carport.

and a third bedroom is opposite a handsome formal lounge with built-in bookcase and cupboards. In keeping with the heritage of the property, all rooms have a delightful open fire place. A quaint kitchen and meals area also receives terrific natural light from the large windows that look out to the rear of the property. The kitchen has solid timber bench tops, a dishwasher and a stainless-steel under bench oven with gas cook top. There is the one bathroom with a double shower, free-standing bath and toilet, with a separate laundry. The back of the home has been transformed into

THE best of beautiful beachside living is ready and waiting with this luxurious two-storey townhouse where you can literally forget the car keys in arguably Mornington’s most central address where cosmopolitan cafes, boutique shops and beaches are yours to enjoy. The three-bedroom property has been custom-designed for professional couples or retiring empty nesters wanting to capitalise on their hard earned leisure time. A spacious living and meals area showcases gorgeous timber floors, and glass doors flood the interior with natural light and afford a lush and leafy outlook to the rear courtyard garden. A wellequipped kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, and from here, bi-fold doors open to an intimate cocktail deck, perfect for pre-dinner drinks. Completing the downstairs section is a striking master bedroom with walk-in robes and ensuite. Upstairs is another living room with bay glimpses and two bedrooms sharing a second bathroom. Extra features include a huge storage area under the stairs, two powder rooms, and a double garage.

BUY Property Direct and Mainline Developments have partnered with Menzies Caring for Kids by donating a newly constructed home in Langwarrin which will be auctioned on Saturday 27th February to raise funds for on-going community work. Menzies Caring for Kids is a not for profit organisation which supports young people who can no longer live with their natural families. Founded in 1865 and established in Frankston in 1901, Menzies Caring for Kids has provided a high standard of support for young people in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region. Through funding and partnership opportunities, Menzies Caring for Kids equips these people with the life skills they need to lead safe, independent and fulfilled lives. Menzies Caring for Kids is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers and all resources and donations received are committed to the sole purpose of helping others. It is hoped that the Menzies Caring for Kids Charity House Auction will raise awareness of their cause and more importantly, raise the funds to continue working in the community. Proceeds from the auction will fund work started by a coalition of Frankston North schools that are providing health services to students not normally accessible to them. It is the first project of its type to be operating in a school and is proving to be an outstanding success, with statistical and anecdotal evidence highlighting early benefits for the schools, students and their families. Mainline Developments have completed construction on the four bedroom, two bathroom home with the brand new property featuring a spacious double garage, entertaining alfresco area, master bedroom with ensuite, fully landscaped gardens and host of inclusions that will enable the buyer to move straight in.

The property will be marketed in the $450,000 plus buyers range.

How do you choose the best school for your child?

As Principal of Mount Eliza Secondary College I could tell you that our top VCE student in 2015 scored 99.3, or that one of our students was named as the Mornington Shire Youth of the Year, but whilst success is undoubtedly important, it takes many forms.

Meet the Principal It is a privilege to be the Principal of Dromana College and I delight in the opportunity to share with the wider community our success.

I would like to begin by congratulating the whole college community on a fantastic 2015, with our students having achieved excellence in a diverse range of learning programs and co-curricular activities. Our students are challenged, motivated and engaged by interesting, exciting and relevant curriculum that caters for their needs. $V , UHĂ HFW RQ WKH \HDU , DJDLQ UHWXUQ WR WKH JUHDWHVW VWUHQJWKV RI RXU VFKRRO WKH relationships between staff and students and the sense of belonging that our community fosters. The learning relationship of our students with their teachers and vice versa is elementary, built on the college values of respect, integrity, personal best and responsibility and underpinned by clear learning intentions.

The Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well established vision continues to deliver excellent outcomes for all our students. In 2015 Dromana College students out performed all other local secondary providers. For the sixth year in a row we have improved our VCE median score, our average is now 30, and more that 90% of our Year 12 students achieved above the state mean.

Dromana College is extremely proud of the outstanding VCE results achieved by the 2015 Year 12 student cohort. These results clearly position Dromana as the College of academic excellence within the local community, bearing testament to the engaging, comprehensive and sequential learning program delivered throughout Years 7 to 12. Our VCE mean study score once again exceeded 30 and eclipsed our previous peak which was achieved in 2014. Whilst we have great pride in our exceptional results and continue to set new benchmarks, our community can rest assured that we will continue to strive for continuous improvement.

Dromana College gives first priority to Literacy and Numeracy as the core and essential building blocks which underpin all learning and which enable students to excel so that they can achieve their personal best. Students thrive in our supportive culture of high expectation, where our excellent teachers are seen as the most important resource towards student success. Our hard

working and dedicated staff clearly understand their core business: focusing on effective teaching and learning and improving student outcomes.

We also encourage and promote an extensive extra and co-curricula program to ensure that students have the right balance with their academic endeavors.

Our Year 12 VCE students of 2015 can look forward with great confidence to a successful future as well rounded and high achieving students, ready and equipped to begin their post-school journey. For the overwhelming majority of them, this includes admission into the university course of their first choice. Congratulations to our VCE class of 2015 on their outstanding achievements. At Dromana College we provide a steadfast guarantee to our community that we will continue to work tirelessly to continue our impressive trend of improving results for all students.

Simon Jones ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SENIOR SCHOOL

A recent independent review of the college programs, relationships and achievements, determined Dromana College to be a high performing school of academic excellence.

The report also commended the expansion of our schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra curricula enhancement programs to include Athletics, Dance, Science and Technology adjacent to the school day.

The outlook for 2016 is outstanding. Our focus continues to be delivering the best academic outcomes for all our students. At the same time we have committed some $3 million to the redevelopment of our Year 7 learning area. The college values are at the core of this commitment and underpin the strong sense of wellbeing and community that our school enjoys.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Farmers to refrain from burnoffs Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE Presbyterian services throughout the district will be conducted on Sunday next by Mr A. M’Allan as here advertised. Mr McDonald, who was called away from his examination to attend the funeral of a brother who died with tragic suddenness, hopes to resume his work on the following Sunday. *** THE anniversary of the Langwarrin Methodist Church was held on Wednesday evening in the church, when there was a crowded attendance. Rev R. Jackson occupied the chair, and a good programme of songs, recitations etc was gone through. Light refreshments were handed round during the evening, and the proceeds terminated by those present singing “Rule Britannia.’ *** A special appeal to farmers to refrain from burning off stubble on land cleared by harvesters is being made by the Lands department. It is felt that unless the appeal is heeded there will be danger of areas of the State being devastated by fire.

A few weeks hence, the Secretary of Lands remarks, the weather will have moderated to such an extent that there will not be nearly the danger in burning off, but even then he advises strict observation of the departmental regulations, which make it mandatory for burning off to take place only between sunrise and sunset and then only with at least four men on

the spot to prevent the spread of the fire to other areas. *** THE Poll of ratepayers in the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, for the purpose of deciding whether the Governor-in-Council will grant an Order-in-Council to the Frankston Gas Company to allow them to establish electric light and power throughout the Shire, was taken on Thursday last. Very little interest was shown by the rate-payers on the question. At the Frankston booth only 101 voted, and they were all in favor of consent being given to the Company to establish electric light and power throughout the Shire. The total number polled throughout the Shire were—for electric light, 228, against 4. *** ON Saturday (this evening) the Mornington Amateur Dramatic Club will give their entertainment consisting of 3 one-act comediettas, entitled “Snowed up with a Duchess” “The Kleptomaniac” and “Their new paying guest,’” in the Somerville Mechanics’ Hall, in aid of the Red Cross Society.

This entertainment was to have been held on the 22nd January last, but owing to the hall being wanted for a recruiting meeting, the management gracefully gave way, and postponed it till this evening, when it is hoped they will be greeted with a bumper house. It may be mentioned that the members of the Club are giving this entertainment free of any cost whatever to the society, so that if the pub-

lic act in a like patriotic spirit by their attendance, the society should benefit by a substantial amount being added to their funds. *** THE Eight Hours Committee announce elsewhere in this issue its Diamond Jubilee, being the 60th Annual Art Union, in which 100 prizes, of a total value of £1000 will be distributed. The first prize is valued at £500, the second £100 and the third £50. The support accorded the undertaking last year was so generous that the committee were enable to donate a very substantial sum to the hospitals and public charities, to which the proceeds are devoted.

It will be the sixth celebration of the establishment of the system which enjoins “Eight hours’ labor, eight hours’ recreation, and eight hours’ rest.” The Committee has already made complete arrangements in connection with the Fete, which will be held at the Exhibition Buildings, Monday, 10th April.

A splendid programme of sports and amusements has been arranged for Eight Hours Day, which has been declared a Public Holiday throughout the State. Numerous special attractions will be provided for adults and children, the latter being particularly well catered for in the shape of races for boys and girls of all ages, skipping contests, and other suitable events, and in addition, thousands of toys, skipping ropes, and bags of lollies will be given away free.

The tickets are only one shilling

each, and may be purchased in almost every town in the State, or direct from the Secretary, Mr John Hyman, at the Trades Hall, Carlton. *** WE regret to report that word was received on Tuesday that Driver F. Benson, who left for the front with Colonel Tivey’s brigade, is seriously ill with appendicitis. Corporal Ted Reynolds is also in hospital in Egypt, suffering from poisoned arm, caused by inoculation. Later and more favorable reports are eagerly looked forward to. *** REFERRING yesterday to the insanitary conditions at the Victoria Markets, which were recently the subject of criticism in “The Age,” Dr T. W. Sinclair, city health officer, stated that, as the result of investigations by the health committee, it had been decided to take action to materially improve the prevailing conditions, which were certainly bad. *** FOUR boys presented themselves on Thursday at the Criminal Court to give evidence on a serious matter. They were successively asked

by Mr Justice Hodges whether they understood their duty to tell the truth, and on replying in the affirmative they were questioned as to what would happen if they told lies. One said, “ I should have to go to gaol.”

He was allowed to testify. The next bluntly affirmed “ I should have to go to hell.” His evidence was immediately accepted The third, speaking

with diffidence, offered the opinion, “ I should not go to heaven” and his depositions were taken. But the fourth boy sent the court into bursts of laughter by remarking, “I expect I should be sent to the John Murray.’

There was no objection to his testimony either. *** A very old resident of Frankston, in the person of Mrs Cattanach, passed away last Monday, the 14th inst. Mrs Cattanach was the widow of the late Thomas Cattanach J.P., who had been associated with Frankston and the Peninsula since a very early date, having had charge of the construction of the Frankston pier, as well as those at Schnapper Point (Mornington) Dromana, Portsea, and Philip Island.

Mr Cattanach built at Frankston in 1880, and lived here until his death, Mrs Cattanach continuing her residence in the same house until the close of her life last Monday. The funeral was in accordance with the deceased [par]ty’s wish of an entirely private character. The deceased lady,who was in her 93rd year, was born in Scotland, and arrived in Victoria in 1853, coming out in the “Elizabeth”, a ship owned and sailed

by Mrs Cattanach’s brother, Captain David Masterton. Mrs Cattanach was devotedly attended to by her nieces, while Dr Maxwell was unremitting in his care. Mrs Cattanach was interred in the family grave in Melbourne. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 19 February, 1916

Mornington News 16 February 2016

New look dance form hits the peninsula It has taken Europe, America and Asia by storm and it’s already attracted thousands across Australia. Now one of Australia’s leading callers is bringing it to the Mornington Peninsula, giving locals a special chance to learn one of the world’s fastest growing dance forms - the new look square dancing.

Despite its country roots, square dancing is now one of the most modern dance forms out there. You’ll love the variety of music with artists ranging from Elvis, The Beatles, ABBA, The Seekers, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Garth Brooks, Keith Urban, Samantha Jade, Taylor Swift and just about everyone in between. The best part is that the music is re-made and specially created for dancing so there is no loud or annoying music - it is all enjoyable to listen and dance to for all ages.

Unlike other forms of dancing - the focus of square dancing isn’t on your footwork, which

means even if you have two left feet - you can still square dance. Everyone is made welcome - singles, couples and families. There are currently dancers around Melbourne ranging in age from 6 to 91, and just about every age in between. Learning the calls is very easy - all the teaching is done to music whilst you are dancing, so you actually don’t realise you are learning.

The benefits of square dancing are huge. It gives you a gentle physical workout and an excellent mental challenge, but as you are enjoying yourself so much, you don’t feel like you’re exercising. A leading US researcher found that square dancing can add 10 years to your life.

Everyone on the peninsula is encouraged to come along and take advantage of this special opportunity to learn.

Take me home – the music & life of John Denver Australian tour 2016 TAKE Me Home – The Music & Life of John Denver returns to Australia following the astounding success of the 2014 tour of Australia.

Singer Bevan Gardiner, accompanied by international musicians perform all the John Denver songs with such accuracy and feeling that if you close your eyes you will be effortlessly transported to the era of John Denver. The show includes exclusive film footage of John Denver through his career, his personal life and his love for the environment.

Take Me Home is authorised and by arrange-

ment with John Denver management Australian audiences experienced this show in 2014 and witnessed the rising talent Bevan Gardiner. Originally Gardiner debuted in Australia when he was the support act for American country singer Charley Pride. People rushed to buy his CD commenting how much he sounded like John Denver. Even Pride was impressed: “Bevan is amazing. He sounds just like John Denver,” the country singer said at the time.

RÜFÜS – BLOOM

By Billy Dixon “IN the first few years we were playing, getting to play a show at the Oxford Art Factory in Sydney was a dream… when you actually get to a milestone like that, you’re pinching each other and giving high fives!” It’s a sentiment that many newer bands can relate to, as they hop from bar to pub to club, trawling the suburbs of their home state for fans. For RÜFÜS, it’s a reality that constantly surprises with generous bounties of love and recognition for the indie dance trio, consisting of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt.

“You never see it coming, you can’t predict it, but you’re definitely really grateful for it… by the time we were playing the Enmore in Sydney after seeing so many shows there from the audience, to be on stage there is just crazy.” The group’s only 6 years old, remember, so to go from Tyrone’s alternative, acoustic music to the trio’s current global tour is whiplash-inducing. But, as he points out, “it has taken a lot of work, so it wasn’t entirely a surprise. To someone outside it might seem a bit out-of-nowhere, but for us, it’s been stepby-step, healthy growth.”

BRAZILIAN CARNIVAL

That’s a luxury many entertainers just don’t have. Think of the child actor who stumbles onto the set of a blockbuster. Many wound up in the wrong crowd, or dabbling with addictive drugs, but RÜFÜS are going from strength to strength.

Of course, it helps when you’re friends with your colleagues. “Jon had just finished a producing/engineering course and was DJing around Sydney when he needed some help musically… I needed help with production, and we just got along, sharing a bond over Booka Shade and Trentemøller.” Drummer James Hunt was a high school pal of Tyrone’s, and is “a machine on the drums! We got him on board and he’s been an integral part of the writing wheel as well.”

The musical bond the three share is strong enough to obviate the need for words. “We don’t have to talk too much… if one of us doesn’t like it the everyone already knows we’re moving on to the next thing, without needing to explain why. It’s a nice ‘one-brain’ process.”

No power struggles for artistic control here, just the pleasant, melodic electro tunes that RÜFÜS are known for, the world over. “We’re three best friends having a good time in the studio, doing what we love to do.” Mixing work and hobbies can be a dangerous game, but it looks (and certainly sounds) like they’ve found the perfect balance.

Like most Australian indie-esque acts, RÜFÜS wouldn’t be where they are now without the all-encompassing platform of Australian music that is Triple J. “We used unearthed as a platform… just to get our music online.

“Then, if you’re lucky enough, you might get a few spins on Triple J. Now that they’ve launched Unearthed radio they can cover more new music for people that want to hear it.” As a disclaimer, they actually caught the finely-tuned ears of Louie McKerdie, who gave Paris Collides its first national airplay, as well as specialist plays from the odd presenter that happened to find an affinity with their music.

But their live show is their bread and butter. “We felt a real shift in support when we

released Take Me, from Atlas… it was our first song to get high rotation on the radio, and since then it’s been going gangbusters. “For any artist to get their songs played nationwide, it’s a giant opportunity.

Even on our first two Eps, Triple J were great supporters, playing This Summer and Paris Collides. It’s almost necessary if you want to tour Australia and break even, or even run at a small loss.” It’s a nice relationship, one that every fledgling band should aim for in some capacity. “To get the feature album was a huge deal for us… it’s been one of our biggest breaks!

RÜFÜS’ second full-length studio album, Bloom, was released a couple of weeks ago, shooting straihgt to number oen on the ARIA charts. They’ll kick off their nationwide tour in Adelaide on 29th April. The record contains more of their signature sound with just a little bit of evolutionary twist, in keeping with their “step-by-step, healthy growth.” It immediately scored accolades from all over the country and should be mandatory in any playlist that features electronic or dance music. Get it now.

Brittain on fire for Baxter PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association Provincial star Chris Brittain hit his second century in as many innings as he helped Baxter to victory on the first day of its clash against Moorooduc.

Brittain’s last four knocks have amassed more than 400 runs with scores of 79 against Somerville, 90 against Mornington, 122 against Long Island and 118 against the Ducs on Saturday.

What was even more impressive is that Brittain was able to score the runs so quickly. Joe Rule lost his wicket before scoring, bringing Brittain to the crease with the Baxter score on 0.

Together with Todd Quinn (57), Brittain was able to get the score

to 131 before enjoying another 80 run partnership with skipper Daniel Warwick (35). Dale Irving had some hitting practice late to help Baxter get to 4/272 in just 38 overs.

Going into day two of the clash, Baxter already has 12 points. Sitting in fifth place on the ladder, four points behind Sorrento, Baxter wants and needs the outright.

Baxter sent Moorooduc in after winning the toss and bowled out the home team in 42 overs for 167.

Sam Wolsgrove took full advantage of being in the First XI for the first time this season, claiming 3/39 off seven overs, while Dale Irving and Chamika Sattambi snared 3/47 and 3/41 respectively.

David Greensmith top scored for the Ducs with 53 in his second game back in the firsts.

Baxter will be hunting the

Hills give themselves a shot DISTRICT

By IT Gully WITH its 2015-16 season hinging on a win, Heatherhill is in a sensational position against the top of the table and seemingly untouchable Red Hill.

With MPCA District games all over the peninsula having a massive bearing in the second last game of the season, the Hills v Hillmen was one of the games to keep an eye on.

Heatherhill batted first on Saturday after winning the toss and made 197.

The visitors were in some trouble at 5/66 and 6/85, before Nathan Martin (89) and Brett Maxwell (37) were brought together at the crease.

The pair were able to put on almost 100 to eventually give the scoreboard some respectability and the team some hope of victory.

Simon Dart was superb with the ball for the Hillmen, picking up 6/50 from 18.3 overs.

The home side needed to bat out the final 16 overs of the day and suffice to say that things went a little pear-shaped for the Hillmen, losing 5/36.

Simon Dart kept putting in ‘night watchmen’ to stem the tide, however they kept losing their wickets.

Rheede Hopgood, Mark Merrifield and Nick Esipoff were all out for ducks. Riley Shaw is not out at the top of the batting line up on 14, Nick Shaw is not out on eight and Simon Dart is still to come, along with Brent Martin.

Ben Davies was magnificent with the ball for the Hills, taking 4/18 from seven overs.

One believes that despite having their backs to the wall, the Hillmen are still every chance of scoring 200.

Baden Powell is looking to turn its form around against Mt Martha, however, after day one, the game is in the balance.

The Reds batted first on Saturday and made 164, thanks largely to 66 from Brett Wilkinson.

Rhys Elmi took 4/26 and Sam Harrison 3/32 for the Braves.

In reply, Mt Martha has picked up the wickets of Tom Wood and Elmi to have the visitors in some trouble at 2/27.

Max McKenzie has 2/11 from eight overs for Mt Martha in his first senior game since before Christmas.

Seaford can lock away a place in the top four with a win against third placed Pearcedale.

The Panthers won the toss and batted first on Saturday and made 9/210 in their 80 overs.

Matt Cousland top scored for the home side with 45, while Max Blackburn and Shayne Gillings both hit 39.

Andy McMannis was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/24, while Ali Mortaza claimed 3/79.

Seaford is currently a game clear of fifth placed Flinders and sixth placed Heatherhill.

Flinders has set Main Ridge 243 for victory in their must–win match at Ditterich Reserve.

Shane Beggs was the star for the Sharks with an unbeaten 98, while number 10 batsman Liam Wolters chimed in with 43.

The Sharks went through a couple of tough spots throughout their innings where they were 3/23 and 8/128.

Bailey McLellan was superb for the Ridge with 4/36 from 20 overs.

In matches that have no bearing on the make up of the top four, Seaford Tigers have set Carrum 268 for victory after skipper Matthew ‘Chippa’ Meagher smacked an unbeaten 148 and Ash Mills hit 40.

Boneo has set Delacombe Park 286 for victory in their match at Boneo Reserve.

Collapse: Carrum Downs has already lost its match against top of the table Dromana after they were rolled in 36 overs for just 48 runs.

Mornington News 16 February 2016

additional eight points this week.

It was all or nothing for Long Island on Saturday with their season on the line against Crib Point and after the first couple of hours of play, it appeared the season had slipped by.

Heading into the second last round of the season, the Islanders are in sixth place on the ladder, 16 points out of fourth place. Only a win against Crib Point would give them any chance of making it.

The second placed Magpies won the toss and sent the home side into bat. After 53.2 overs, they had sent the opposition packing for just 106.

Michael Chaplin top scored with 23.

Glenn Barclay snared 5/38 and Brad Davidson 4/29 for the Pies.

It was at that stage of the match that it appeared the curtain had come down on Long Island’s season.

The Long Island bowlers needed to

produce something extra special, and they did.

Despite not having gun Scotty Phillips, the Islanders were able to put the Pies on the back foot, having them 6/46 at stumps.

Simon Dignan (2/13) and David Phillips (1/19) were able to have an early impact and Mike Reynolds really turned it on, picking up 3/4 from six overs.

Sorrento has its work cut out to pick up the win against Peninsula Old Boys.

The Sorras are currently hanging onto fourth place but they’ll need to chase down 297 to pick up the win in Round 10.

Wade Pelzer hit 101 for the Old Boys and Jon Forrest hit an unbeaten 57. Bobby Wilson was the pick of the Sorrento bowlers with 3/57.

Langwarrin has given itself every

opportunity to pick up an outright win against Rye. The Kangas lost the toss and batted first, scrambling to 172, thanks to 49 from Pete Edwards, 47 from the skipper Travis Campbell and 29 from Jake Prosser.

Tommy Baron claimed 5/49 for the Demons and Justin King picked up 3/42.

In reply, Rye is 5/43.

Pines scored 186 in its match against Somerville.

Harley Parker top scored with 30 and Jarred Coad helped himself to 26.

Russell Wilkes was the pick of the Eagles’ bowlers with 4/47.

Mt Eliza has set Mornington 256 for victory.

Justin Grant belted 112 for his side while Luke Harper was the pick of the Mornington bowlers with 4/82.

In reply, Mornington is 0/10.

Stonecats eye an outright SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully FRANKSTON YCW has geared itself up for a massive swoop on the top bracket after the completion of day one in MPCA Sub District cricket.

Coming into the second last round of the home and away season, YCW is in fifth place on the ladder, equal with Rosebud and six points behind third-place Carrum Downs (66).

An outright victory against Skye in Round 10 would put the Stonecats in a superb position heading into the final game of the year against Balnarring.

Skye batted first on Saturday at Peninsula Reserve and lasted just 25 overs for 48 runs.

Frankston YCW then went after quick runs, batted 31 overs and declared at 7/135.

Meanwhile, fourth placed Rosebud is locked in a battle against second placed Hastings.

A total of 14 wickets fell on the opening day of the match. Hastings lost all 10 wickets for just 120 runs, the evergreen Jason Nagel claiming 7/43 and his son Patrick claiming 2/25 for the Buds.

Hastings then produced with the ball and at stumps

have Rosebud 4/34, still 86 runs behind. The Buds still have some batting to come.

Mitchell Floyd has 2/19 for the Blues.

Carrum Downs has already lost its match against top of the table Dromana.

The Cougars batted first on Saturday and were rolled in 36 overs for just 48 runs.

Ryan Lynch top scored with 12.

Danny Timmer took 3/9 for the Hoppers, Aaron Kaddatz snared 3/27 and Jack Fowler 2/2.

In reply, the home side isn’t travelling well at 5/88 but they are 40 runs ahead with some batting to come.

Chris Maloney was the pick of the Cougars’ bowlers with 4/24 from 14 overs.

Tootgarook will be chasing 236 for victory on the second day against Balnarring.

The Saints batted first with Andrew Dowey top scoring with 41, Michael Griese getting an unbeaten 38 and skipper Brenton Taylor 35.

Ballam Park is looking down the barrel against Tyabb. The Knights batted first on Saturday with Zac Clements top scoring with 30 in the 110 run total. In reply, the Yabbies are cruising at 2/72.

Clements has 2/26.

That will be enough: While Dromana have fallen to 5/88 in their match against Carrum Downs, they are already 40 runs ahead.
