SUMMER ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE

Between the Bays line-up announced BETWEEN the Bays Music Festival will return for 2014 on Saturday 22nd February. Between The Bays is not your average festival, set on a delightful 35-acre rural property in Moorooduc on the Mornington Peninsula, just a short 1-hour drive from Melbourne, and offers music lovers a festival option with a chilled out vibe that is inexpensive for the whole family with an all-inclusive community feel. Now in its 9th year, Between the Bays is firmly established as Mornington Peninsula’s best annual summer music festival that also gives back to the community with all proceeds raised going to Penbank School’s partnership with the Wugularr School in the Northern Territory. Between The Bays is pleased to announce its massive 2014 music program featuring: Tex Perkins with The Ape Tex lends his vocals and guitar playing skills to lead The Ape along with Raul Sanchez (Magic Dirt) on guitar; hard hitting drummer Gus Agars (The Dark Horses) who also likes to sing a little too; and Pat Bourke (formerly of Dallas Crane) who brings the grooves on bass and piano. Having released their self-titled debut album in October, The Ape are primed to rock out the Between The Bays stage into the early evening. Diesel An artist that needs no introduction; Mark Lizotte aka Diesel, has been

enigmatic singer Dale Ryder backed by Peter Farnan, Maz Maslen and Ian Tilley. This group of musicians is certainly a force to be reckoned with and not to be missed!

playing rock ‘n’ roll for over 25 years and has eleven studio albums under his belt. His eleventh studio album Let It Fly hit the shelves in the middle of 2013 and sees Diesel meld together many musical genres and play many musical instruments taking his listeners on a life journey through the eyes and ears of Diesel. Get ready for this musical journey when Diesel brings this album and his older songs to life. Daryl Braithwaite Legendary Australian singer songwriter Daryl Braithwaite spent more than two decades releasing albums and playing live all over Australia and beyond. Not slowing down at the tender age of 64, Daryl has just

released a new album Forever The Tourist through Sony Music Australia. Hear all Daryl’s hits from his multi-platinum selling albums Edge and Rise through to his new single Not Too Late, when he no doubt starts a sing-along on the oval of Penbank School.

and brought home three awards! Tim spent his time working on music for films and Kris recovering for an unfortunate bout of malaria. Celebrate along with The Basics when they bring their good-time classic tunes including their current single So Hard For You when they hit the bay in February.

The Basics Three-piece Melbourne band The Basics have returned to the live circuit for the first time in three years but their time off was hardly time off with band member Wally spending three years travelling the world touring his number 1 worldwide hit single Somebody I Used to Know as Gotye. He also dropped by to the Grammys

Boom Crash Opera Having exploded onto the scene in 1986 with their infectious single Great Wall, it was pretty clear Boom Crash Opera would be around for many years to come. Fast forward to 2013 and the band is still rocking with release of their greatest hits album The Best Things, including a couple of new tracks. The band are still lead by

Between The Bays is not just about music; there is a little something for everyone including children, the food lover and the wine and beer connoisseur. The festival will once again have a great variety of kids’ rides; children will be able to purchase a wristband for unlimited rides throughout the day. You can expect a broad range of culinary delights to help fuel you and keep you going throughout the day, from a simple sausage sizzle, icecream treats, to delights such as wood fired pizzas, calamari, vegetarian options and wonderful coffee, including plenty of kid-friendly options as well! If you would rather bring your own food, feel free to pack your own gourmet picnic and bring it along (just remember no glass). There is an extensive range of beverages at Between the Bays and those not drinking alcohol are welcome to bring their own water bottle to refill throughout the day at the free water station. Between The Bays 2014 is on Saturday 22nd February. Gates open at 2pm, music will begin at 2.45pm and finish at approximately 10.30pm. Access to Between the Bays is via Rickards Road, Moorooduc.

SUMMER ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE

Mornington racing set to shine AS the warmer months roll around, Mornington Racecourse becomes a major hub for racing and social activity as it hosts a raft of events promising great racing and entertainment for all comers. Beginning on December 29th with Ron Casey Memorial Day – also the Club’s ‘Kids’ Day Out’ – and culminating with February 12’s Sportingbet Mornington Cup Day, Mornington will hold regular meetings that will make it a key player in the nation’s racing industry – and the local social calendar – throughout the period. For turf enthusiasts, the great quantity of racing is matched by its high quality. Highlights among the action on the track include the Swettenham Stud Lord Stakes (December 29th) and Sportingbet Mornington Cup (February 12th), as well as the Mitavite Summer Challenge, unique to Mornington and progressing throughout the summer. The high standard on the track aside, the Mornington Racing Club stages an array of events at each meeting that will ensure the course provides great entertainment for people of all ages, families in particular. The racecourse’s beautiful landscape provides an ideal setting to unfurl the picnic rug, while the free rides and kids’ activities ensure that the youngsters are kept well and truly entertained. These activities are a mainstay of the entire summer, making Mornington Racecourse a

fabulous destination for families seeking summer fun throughout the holiday period. Of course, the Peninsula’s summer racing festivities finish with a bang with the Sportingbet Mornington Cup, a day that is simply not to be missed. 2014’s Mornington Cup will be the last run on a Wednesday, following the exciting news that it has been granted the rare prestige of standalone Saturday status from 2015 and beyond. And as ever, what a spectacle it is set to be: top-level racing aside, there is some $70,000 up for grabs in the Mornington BMW Fashions on the Field – always a glamorous event – plus a host of dining and hospitality options on one of the region’s best days for entertaining for the year. In that regard, one of the prime positions to take in Mornington Cup Day is the beautiful Beehive Marquee, where fine food and decadent surrounds are the order of the day. Included is a delicious buffet luncheon and beverages, the luxurious ‘Miss Honey’ pamper room with guest host Annette Sanfilippo, plus a private garden enclosure with outdoor seating, free race book and gift bag. Tickets to the Beehive are a steal at $195 per person. To book your place, or for more on Mornington Summer Racing, race day packages and dining and all other information, visit www.mrc. net.au or call 03 5975 3310.

Christmas market a big hit SHOPPERS packed the final Mornington Farmers’ Market of the year on Saturday at Mornington Park, searching for something different for Christmas. The market, run by the chamber of commerce, celebrated its first birthday last month. It followed the first farmers’ market on the peninsula at Mt Eliza, which opened more than three years ago. Market stallholders spotted on Saturday included, from left, Viki Rowlands of Bee Keeper Honey, Nina Higgins of Coolibah Herbs, Mark Barwise of Free as a Bird Free Range Eggs, Bubbles the Fairy of Bubble Face Painting, Michael Nalty of Classic Pates, Marilyn Owies of Improv Story Telling (on car) and the car’s “creator” Paul Lucas of Mornington Men’s Shed. The baby Fiat was later seen carrying Santa up Main St, delighting people of all ages out and about on a sunny day. The market returns on 11 January.

New plans save mansion By Mike Hast MORNINGTON’S historic Italianate mansion Glenbank in Barkly St will live on after its owner officially withdrew a demolition request. Objectors to the demolition received notification late last month from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

In November 2011, the board of Andrew Kerr Frail and Aged Care Complex applied to demolish the 1875 mansion as well as the existing complex of single-storey units that house about 120 people. They were to be replaced by 26 twobedroom “independent living” units in

two-storey buildings facing Barkly St and Tanti Ave that would house more than 50 people. Andrew Kerr is now seeking permission to alter the existing aged care facility, providing a total of 120 aged care beds, and construct 41 aged care independent living units in four main

News demolition of Glenbank was crucial to the project, which had been five years in the planning. “We can’t afford to restore Glenbank, which has been changed many times over the years and knocked about,” he said at the time. Continued Page 10

HQ for lifesavers to cost $2.1m MT Martha Life Saving Club’s premises will be replaced with a $2.13 million building. On Friday the club was given $950,000 by the state government, bringing to reality a long-held dream of increasing the size of its headquarters. Mornington Peninsula Shire will contribute $700,000 and the club $482,799. The government money was announced on Friday in Mt Martha by Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells and Mornington MP David Morris. Mr Wells said the 20-year-old clubrooms would be demolished “to make way for a new building, which will double the size of the facility”. “The new clubhouse is an investment in community protection and will become an asset for everyone to share and enjoy,” he said. He said other community groups such as Rotary and Lions would use the clubrooms. Mr Morris said design work has been approved and construction was expected to begin in March, with the clubhouse to be completed in time for the 2014-15 lifesaving season. “The presence of club members on the beach, keeping a watchful eye on swimmers, makes Mt Martha a safer beach,” he said. “In the 2012-13 season, the club conducted 18 rescues, 151 preventative actions, and administered first aid on 12 occasions.” Mr Morris said the club had more than 1300 members including 500 “nippers” and a waiting list of more

Planning for the ideal peninsula

Start saving: Mt Martha Life Saving Club will get a new headquarters after the state government announced a grant of almost $1 million last week. Mornington Peninsula Shire will provide $700,000 and the club has launched a building appeal to raise more than $480,000 from club members and the wider community. Government, shire council and club officials joined members for the news on Friday afternoon.

than 70 children. “The clubhouse will better support lifesavers to perform their job, which includes beach patrols, rescues and providing first aid.” The building will include three training rooms, larger first aid and communications rooms, an office where state and district officers can work as well as space to store all emergency equipment, some of which is stored off-site

due to lack of space. On Friday, Mr Wells and club president John Harvey presented patrol caps to members who had completed bronze medallions and surf rescue certificates. The club also received $7100 from the government toward an inflatable rescue boat, trailer and rescue boards. The club has embarked on a fund-

raising campaign. It said the building appeal was “a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new clubhouse”. “It is the first time the club has asked members to make a special contribution, over and above annual memberships.” The club is also seeking large and small donations from the wider community. Details: 5974 4140.

RESIDENTS are invited to have a say on a draft plan to make the Mornington Peninsula “a happier, healthier and more hopeful place”. Mornington Peninsula Shire has drawn up a Health & Wellbeing Plan (Health, Hope and Happiness II) to be implemented over four years. The shire says the plans follows more than 1000 people from all ages and walks of life participating in activities, including community development projects, youth forums, arts projects, surveys, workshops and forums. “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,” the mayor Cr Antonella Celi said. “The shire supports community connectedness and social justice as part of its overall core business, and we seek to promote compassion and encourage opportunities for all citizens to live in a community that embodies peace and dignity and enables individuals to reach their fullest potential.” Cr Celi said the plan would help guide the actions needed to develop the shire “as a happier, healthier and more hopeful place for all”. Send comments on the plan to Lisa Gray by 8 January 2014 at lisa.gray@ mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1685.

Ambassadors put focus on future of bay A GROUP of year 5 Mt Eliza North pupils are leading the way in helping educate their peers about the importance of protecting the fragile marine environment of Port Phillip. Tiana Atkinson, Georgie Cooney and Nadia and Alana Frankland have made a documentary about ways to preserve and protect the beaches and waterways of the Mornington Peninsula. The video entitled Port Phillip Bay Can’t Just Survive on Love explores the actions community groups can take to protect the marine environment. The enthusiastic environmentalists are involved in the Dolphin Research Institute’s young ambassador program, which encourages young people to become peer educators to spread the message about the need to protect the peninsula’s beaches and waterways. Through the program, ambassadors learn about their marine and coastal environment and, in turn, become future leaders for the next generation through school and community-based education projects. With one the video’s prominent themes being the role governments need to play in protecting Port

Phillip, Tiana Atkinson seized the initiative and went straight to the top, organising an interview with federal Environmental Minister and local MP Greg Hunt. Mr Hunt said he was more than happy to contribute his thoughts and opinions on the subject and praised the girls’ commitment to the environmental cause. “I congratulate Tiana and her fellow Dolphin Research Institute ambassadors on putting together this educational video and am glad that she has taken the lead on educating her peers about the importance of protecting Port Phillip,� Mr Hunt said. “No doubt she will continue to be a strong advocate for environmental issues in the future and I wish her the best of luck with all of her endeavours.� He said the federal government assisted in a number of ways to protect, preserve and enhance Port Phillip such as by providing funds to community groups and organisations. “The [federal] government will work with the Victorian government, through the Department of Environment and Primary Industries and Parks Victoria, to support work to improve the water quality of the

SOUTHERN Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) will be built on the foreshore at Rosebud following a majority of councillors last week approving the project and its controversial location. The decision reversed a vote in July to remove the foreshore site as the council’s preferred location for the $34 million project. The decision commits Mornington Peninsula Shire to its biggest capital works project since it was formed 20 years ago when the shires of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings were amalgamated by the Liberal government. The council has been bitterly divided over the foreshore site since early 2012 when Environment Minister Ryan Smith gave in-principle permission to build on the foreshore, subject to seven conditions not yet been met. The shire had been trying for six years for consent to build on the foreshore. It had been repeatedly knocked back by the state government through its agency the Department of Sustainability and Environment. A change of government in late 2010 when the Liberal-Nationals Coalition defeated the Brumby Labor government opened the door. Cr David Gibb, who has championed a foreshore SPA, told The News after the meeting it was hoped construction would start in two years. Dr Alan Nelsen of the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association said the government allowing a huge aquatic centre on the foreshore had created a dangerous precedent and was against state coastal management guidelines.

Art sales help for humanity ART lovers and sponsors are seen as the “lifeblood” of humanitarian work conducted by the Rotary Club of Mornington Rotarian John Renowden said all profits from the club’s annual art show went toward such projects as providing medical help overseas, educational and research scholarships, and breakfasts for disadvantaged primary school pupils. The 42nd annual Mornington Art Exhibition opens Friday 17 January with more than 900 exhibits covering many types of art, including photographic art for the first time. There are sponsored prizes for all categories of artworks including best exhibit (any medium), best oil painting, best watercolour, best other medium, and best student artwork. “The art show has established itself as the biggest and best on the Mornington Peninsula with all profits going to Rotary projects,” Mr Renowden said. “Rotary supports school breakfast programs, youth leadership camps and experiences with university science programs at the ANU in Canberra and Monash Clayton. “The club also supports challenging opportunities for students to be involved in community, national, and international projects.” Mr Renowden said money

was given to peninsula primary schools and secondary colleges with scholarships being awarded to students from four schools. “The exhibition also provides VCE art students the opportunity to exhibit their works in a display that has become a popular attraction for those attending the show,” he said. “Mornington Rotary has funded shelter boxes to house families left homeless by natural disasters such as bushfires, floods and the cyclone in the Philippines. “A PhD scholarship for research into Parkinson’s disease, through Australian Rotary Health, has been financed for the past three years, and Australian Rotary Health, founded by Mornington Rotary in 1983, is now the largest non-government health research fund in Australia, managed by a national board of directors with assets exceeding $12 million.” Mr Renowden said Mornington and

Mt Eliza Rotary clubs had provided $45,000 for a team of surgeons, nurses and anaesthetists to perform cleft lip and palette operations on children and young adults in Vietnam, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. The team also operates on burns victims. “Closer to home, Mornington Rotary supports charities and community organisations and has built four gazebos for the public,” he said. “All of this work has been made possible by the funds raised from the club’s annual art exhibition.” To enter the Mornington Art Exhibition, view works or buy tickets for the opening night, go to www. morningtonartshow.com.au Opening night tickets are available at Farrell’s Bookshop or Cameron’s Menswear, in Main St, Mornington. The exhibition runs until Monday 27 January.


Festive season prime time for criminals By Chris Brennan POLICE have warned Mornington Peninsula residents to expect a spike in break-ins and thefts over the holiday period as thieves target unlocked cars, empty homes and items left unattended on beaches. Crime data shows Christmas presents an attractive target for thieves with more break-ins and thefts occurring over the summer holiday period than any other time of year. The lure of new Christmas presents, such as expensive electronic devices, was one of the main factors attracting thieves during the holiday period, Senior Sergeant Karen Nyholm said. Other factors enticing criminals included unoccupied homes, unlocked vehicles and personal effects such as wallets and phones left unattended on beaches. Victoria Police statistics show that, of the 28,000 residential burglaries reported to police over past financial year, more than 2600 occurred in January. “Avoid attracting attention to your home by ensuring packaging is not visible in bins or nature strips,” Senior Sergeant Nyholm said. “Take the shopping straight home and avoid leaving parcels in the car. “Having to re-do the shopping lists after thieves have taken your first purchases is frustrating and expensive.” She said thieves often targeted Mornington Peninsula holidaymakers. “As you take the day trip to the peninsula, or head away for the weekend, remember that thieves follow holidaymakers. “Enjoy a care-free holiday by locking your car and locking your residence, whether it’s a caravan, unit or home.” Southern Metro Region Acting Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer said residents could do far

more to protect their homes from being targeted by burglars. “We know incidents of residential burglary traditionally increase during the Christmas and New Year holiday period,” he said. “Intelligence tells us that while a lot of people take holidays and are enjoying the festive season, it seems some might drop their guard on home security. “If you are planning to go away, the key is to make it look like someone is home – get your neighbours to collect the mail, close the curtains and hang some old clothes on the washing line. “If you see someone hanging around residential areas and acting suspiciously, it’s important that you contact police immediately.” “It’s about using common sense. Don’t leave all your Christmas shopping in full view in the car or small electronic goods like portable music devices and smart phones. “Make sure you lock your vehicle when leaving it in the car park. It’s not news to us that a lot of thefts occur when doors are left open or the stolen goods were in clear sight.” Police said there were a number of simple steps residents could take to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of burglary, such as locking all residential windows and doors, even when at home, installing deadlocks on all external doors and windows, cutting overhanging branches from houses to make it harder for burglars to hide, and letting neighbours know you’re going to be away for a few days so they can collect the mail and take the bins in and out to make the house look occupied. To report suspicious behaviour, call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Bitter-sweet day as toy runners honour founder IT was a bitter-sweet Peninsula Toy Run on Saturday last week when a record number of riders took part. Many entered for the first time to honour organiser John Smollen, who died a week before the 13th annual run at age 78. Mr Smollen of Pearcedale, a member of the Ulysses Club’s Mornington Wanderers branch and former member of Two Bays branch, devoted many hours each year finding sponsors and organising the run. His funeral was held on the Monday after the toy tun at Peninsula City Church in Frankston before a motorcycle hearse led a cortège of cars and motorcyclists to Old Tyabb cemetery near Hastings. Toy runners collected food and toys for more than 1500 hampers to be given to underprivileged families by Southern Peninsula Food For All. The event drew many spectators, who enjoyed seeing riders dressed in Christmas costumes on decorated bikes. Several had Santa with a photo of a smiling John Smollen. There are moves to name the event the John Smollen Memorial Toy Run as well as install a plaque on Frankston foreshore to honour his work. Bikes gathered in Frankston pier’s car park for the run. They were led by John Smollen’s son David Smollen. Mike Hast

Plan saves mansion Continued from Page 1

“We need to redevelop the entire site to address failing infrastructure and the need for more appropriate accommodation and facilities for the residents and local community.� The mansion was used just three days a week for respite care. It also has offices. The demolition plan raised the ire of the peninsula branch of the National Trust, historical societies, amateur historians and residents. Glenbank was built for Presbyterian Church minister James A Caldwell. Reverend Caldwell’s three sons were among the 15 members of the Mornington Football Club team that perished when the fishing yacht bring-

ing them from Mordialloc struck Pelican Reef off Mt Eliza and went down with all hands in 1892. Glenbank was bought in 1917 by Mrs Andrew Kerr, Mrs Kathleen Parker and Mr Critchley Parker, and donated to the Church of England as a memorial to Mrs Kerr’s son, Sergeant Andrew Kerr, who was killed in action in France during the First World War. The Andrew Kerr Memorial Home for Children opened in 1922 and operated until 1976. In 1980 it was bought by Mornington Bush Nursing Hospital (now The Bays Hospital) for $327,000 and converted into a centre for aged care. Andrew Kerr’s new plans will be available for public comment.

CHILDREN are being given an underwater experience to lessen the trauma of being in hospital. The paediatric X-ray room at Frankston Hospital has been decorated to appear like it is under water. “The room has been decorated to reflect the ‘by the water’ lifestyle and attitude of the Mornington Peninsula with ocean blue walls and brightly coloured underwater themed images on the walls,” medical imaging services deputy manager Scott Cripps said. “We have transformed our X-ray room from what could be perceived as an intimidating and unfriendly environment to one that’s friendly, happy and inviting.

“So far we have had a really positive reaction from children and their parents. They love all the pictures and it makes the X-ray process more relaxed for everyone involved.” The hospital said its medical imaging team undertook “extensive research into providing the highest quality imaging with the lowest possible radiation exposure”. “Our team visited other well-regarded hospitals such as the Royal Children’s Hospital to study their paediatric medical imaging practices,” Mr Cripps said. “We were able to adapt these to our own medical imaging processes to create an environment that is safe as well as friendly.”

Green zone plans delayed By Mike Hast THE controversial proposal to rezone 42 hectares of farming land in the green wedge zone in Stotts Lane, Frankston South, has again been deferred by Frankston Council. Councillors discussed the issue on 19 August and voted to allow the request for a planning change for the subdivision. It was meant to come before the council on 21 October but was deferred to the 2 December meeting, at which it was deferred for a third time. A council spokeswoman said the “developer submitted a revised proposal to councillors following a briefing with them last week. Councillors wanted more time to consider the revised proposal and the report is likely to be brought to council for consideration in January 2014”. An attempt to rezone the land on the eastern side of Stotts Lane for about 180 new houses was made about 13 years ago. It generated widespread opposition from Mornington Peninsula Shire, Mornington MP Robin Cooper and Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt as well as conservationists. They were all concerned about the dilution of the green wedge as the rezoning would have effectively joined Baxter to the southern urban area of Frankston. Frankston Council’s proposed planning amendment for the project lapsed in 2004 after pressure from many sides including the state government. Another attempt was made in 2011 when Planning Minister Matthew Guy asked green wedge councils including Frankston to submit areas that might be taken out of the green wedges, so-called anomalies. The Stotts Lane landowner’s request was refused by the council. The land is zoned Rural Conservation Zone and is covered by a Significant Landscape Overlay. It is bounded by Stotts Lane in the west, Peninsula Link freeway in the east, Tahnee Lodge estate in the north and Baxter-Tooradin Rd in the south. The developer, Schutz Pty Ltd, originally applied for 400 lots this year, but reduced it to 375

then 314 lots after the most recent briefing. The 2001 proposal was for 290 lots, reduced to 180. Rezoning opponent Barry Ross, of South East Defenders of the Green Wedge, said councillors in August “asked their planning officers to negotiate with the developer to obtain greater planning controls to protect the character of the area and limit overdevelopment”. “This was an attempt to make the application more palatable,” he said. Mr Ross said the Defenders were not confident the council would reject the revised proposal. “We are more confident Planning Minister Matthew Guy will reject it.” Mr Ross said the subdivision would see “Melbourne’s urban sprawl continuing down to the peninsula” and “eliminate the rural break between Baxter and the urban area of Frankston”. “It would mean the loss of pleasant, picturesque rural land,” he said. Mr Ross said there was “no strategic justification for the proposal”. Local MP and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt and Mornington state MP David Morris have written to the council expressing concern about the proposed amendment. Mr Hunt stated he had opposed the 2001 attempt at rezoning and continued to support the Defenders in their opposition. “[Rezoning] would cause serious erosion of the green wedge area” and “would have a flowon effect through to the green wedge areas of the Mornington Peninsula”, he wrote to Frankston Council CEO Dennis Hovenden in late July. Mr Morris said the present application “bears a striking resemblance” to the original rezoning attempt in 2001. “I do not believe that the changes that have occurred over the intervening years lead to any circumstances where an application for development should be considered,” he stated. Mr Morris said the land was in Frankston City but was part of the Mornington Peninsula Green Wedge.

Submissions: The state government says it will announce the winners of its search for commercial operators for the quarantine precinct of Point Nepean in mid-2004.

Short list for Pt Nepean THE state government has short-listed companies wanting to run businesses in the quarantine precinct of Point Nepean National Park. The government says it has selected an unspecified number of proposals made in response to its call for expressions of interest for “private sector investment in development”. Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said the final bid was expected to be chosen by mid-2014. Mr Smith is stressing that any proposals should “promote” heritage and education values at the site. In May, Department of Environment and Primary Industries project director Dick Ford wrote to “stakeholders” saying the state government had started a process for the long-term lease to a “private investor or operator”. He said the latest master plan for Point Nepean National Park, near Portsea, “will guide investors in the development of proposals” with expressions of interest for using the 17 hectares around the quarantine station being “marketed locally, nationally and internationally”.

Mr Ford said many of the 50 buildings at the site “hold heritage and cultural significance and should be maintained and preserved”. On Friday Mr Smith said applicants on the short list were being urged to “contact those not selected, to see if they may wish to incorporate aspects of those plans into their own”. He said the public would be able to comment once the government had made a final selection. “We received interest from a wide cross-section of organisations who put forward a number of exciting options,” Mr Smith said. “I have made it clear that the quarantine station site provides a world-class opportunity for outstanding tourism investment. “There are great opportunities for heritage and education at Point Nepean. We have advised the successful short-listed proponents that their final bids should reflect these values. “Investment in the quarantine station is vital to help ensure that this site can be enjoyed by the community for generations to come.” Keith Platt

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Local store narrowly avoids fire disaster, Frankston garden in danger Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 December 1913 A SMALL fire, though one which may easily have been a serious conflagration, occurred at the rear of Mr McDonald’s store at Frankston at 4.30 a.m. on Tuesday. It appears that some rubbish was left burning, and during the night this spread to some empty cases, which ignited. Fortunately the blaze was noticed in time, and Mr Cunningham rang the fire bell. The brigade were quickly on the scene, and the fire was soon put out. A large number of cases of kerosene were stacked within a few yards of the fire, and had the flames spread to them the result would have been more serious. *** RESIDENTS of Frankston, as well as visitors to the town, to whom the beautifully kept street gardens have been such a pleasure, will regret to learn that, unless some suitable arrangements can be made, they will most likely deteriorate to what they were before. The pump has broken down; the man who did the pumping has gone away, and difficulty is experienced in getting anyone to take his place. It is too much to expect Mr Reynolds to look after the gardens and pump water too. His position is an honorary one, and has been for two years, and the work he has done in the gardens has been well worthy of substantial remuneration. Unless something is done at once and a proper supply of water kept up, the gardens, and two years labour, will be destroyed in a few days.

*** TO allow our staff the usual relaxation during Xmas week, there will be no publication of the STANDARD next week, December 27th. We take the opportunity of wishing our readers, correspondents, advertisers, and clients generally, a Merry Xmas and a bright and prosperous New Year. *** AN extra attraction to Frankston on New Year’s Day will be the Choral and Orchestral concert in the evening at the Mechanics’ Hall. *** QUITE a buzz of excitement was caused when the band stepped into Bay Street on Tuesday night, playing one of their competition pieces. *** THE Mornington Racing Club will make a profit of about £10 over their recent meeting, and in addition the whip given by Major Campbell and raffled, realised nearly £20. *** ON Wednesday night after the Church of England concert, Mr Scarborough was returning home when three young men stuck him up and demanded the door takings. Fortunately he had handed them over before leaving the hall. *** THE committee of the Osborne State School are to be complimented for arranging such an enjoyable programme for the children yesterday. A concert was held in the schoolroom. Luncheon and afternoon tea was provided, and all kinds of games and races were indulged in. Every child received a prize. ***

MR Frank Jolly, of Brisbane (Q.), who will be a competitor in the sheffield handicap and 220 yards event at the local New Year’s Day Sports, last week won his heat and semi-final in the Brachenress (Q.) sheffield handicap, and in the final ran a dead heat with F. Morris, to whom Jolly conceded 21 yards start.

Mr R. Bates, who has been on a tour of Great Britain, returned this week. “Bob’s” many friends were all pleased to see him back again.

*** THE Frankston Brass Band acknowledge with thanks £1 1s, donation to uniform fund from Mr W. Williams, ‘Rupertstan,’ Langwarrin. The band will appear in uniform next Saturday night in Bay Street, and render a programme of musical items. The

uniforms lately received have given general satisfaction. We regret to state a large amount is still owing on uniforms.. The band hope its admirers will come forward and show their admiration in a practical way. Donations will be gratefully received by members of the band committee:Messrs Lawrey, Willox, Croskell, Bunney, Millard and the secretary, J. L. Guumes. Practice still continues for the A.N.A. competitions in February, and in order to get acquainted with competition work the band will be taking part in the competitions to be held at Beaufort on Boxing Day, each bandsman defraying his own expenses. *** MR Edgar Thornell, of Somerville, has been distinguishing himself in his studies at the Continuation school. He has just secured a scholarship which admits him to continue his studies at Queen’s College at the University. *** FOR a vacancy existing as patron of the Melbourne Home and Mission, Major C. W. Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston, is to be nominated. The Major and Mrs Campbell have always been good loyal friends and supporters of this charitable cause. *** VERY satisfactory entries have been received for most of the events to be run off on New Year’s Day at Frankston, there being 60 for the Sheffield, 39 for the 220 yds handicap, 22 for each of the bike events, and 8 for each of the two chops. The handicaps appear in another column. *** MR S. S. Gault, of Somerville,

reports having sold to Mrs Hawken, senr., three blocks of land situated in the centre of the Somerville township at a satisfactory price. It is Mrs Hawken’s intention to erect a residence on the blocks at an early date. *** THE friends of Mr E Worrall, of Frankston, will regret to learn of the very serious indisposition of his father, at Albury. Mr Worrall left Frankston on Saturday last, to be at his father’s bedside, and from word received from him he seems to entertain little hope of his father’s recovery. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to him in his trouble. *** AT the last meeting of the Mornington Shire Council, Cr Campbell drew attention to several matters which, he alleged, had been neglected by the Secretary, and he submitted a motion to fix the office hours of the secretary, which was not seconded. Cr Campbell appeared to feel strongly on the matter, and said he would resign, but was persuaded to hold it over for a month. *** HASTINGS tennis club visited Frankston on Saturday, 6th inst., and were represented by Rev. C. Eva, Mr Watt, Cr James Hodgins and Mr Alf. Boulter. Owing to the even nature of the play there was not sufficient time to finish the match, but an enjoyable afternoons play resulted in a win for Hastings by two games:- Hastings 42 games, Frankston 40 games. Frankston was represented by Rev. G. A. Kitchen, Mr C. Watson, Dr Maxwell and Mr Norman Jackson.

Help! Aliens stole my Christmas By Stuart McCullough IT’S obvious. Aliens from Planet Twerk descended to Earth and rendered me unconscious as part of an extraterrestrial ‘schoolies’ prank and I have only now, nearly twelve months later, awoken from my state of alien stasis. I have no proof, of course. But even if I didn’t see them before the lights went out, I’ve long suspected that they’ve been watching my every move. That may sound far-fetched, but I dare you to come up with a more logical explanation. For other than the possibility that I’ve been in an alien-induced coma for the last twelve months, it can’t possibly be Christmas again. I’ve no idea where the year has gone. The signs are everywhere. Specifically, they’re hanging from the ceiling of the supermarket. To press home the point, the signs are accompanied by Christmas carols on an endless loop. I’m sure that such tactics were previously ruled illegal at Guantanamo Bay. Resistance, it seems, is useless. Evidence abounds that the year is, indeed, fast running dry. This week is the office Christmas party. Nowadays the sole objective of the annual office shindig is to survive without embarrassing myself. It wasn’t always that way. Not so long ago, behaving like a complete twerk in front of shocked colleagues was a given, if not a right of passage. At a certain undefined point, that ceases to be the case and such events are now largely premised on ‘damage control’. It makes you yearn for simpler times. Things are no more straightforward

on the family front. Organising gifts necessitates an Excel spreadsheet. Christmas itself is now no longer a single day and takes about a week to execute. Relatively speaking, I have a whole bunch of relatives. I always begin with great enthusiasm, arriving with a range of festive CDs tucked

under my arm, including the now ever-so-slightly creepy Phil Spector album (complete with a picture of Phil dressed as Father Christmas – a sight that would scare even the naughtiest of children to behave themselves) and, my personal favourite, James Brown’s A Very Funky

Christmas. But by day four of our Christmas extravaganza, the frayed edges of my sanity begin to show and by the time I reach the home straight on day five, there’s a very real chance that I will ‘go rogue’. How such errant behaviour will manifest itself is anybody’s guess, suffice to say that no one should be too surprised if something other than the Christmas pudding is doused in heated brandy and set on fire by the time the whole thing’s over and done with. At this point, an alien abduction would come as something of a welcome relief. Christmas is more complicated now. I have two brothers and two sisters. They each have a significant other with a family of his or her own. This means that organising Christmas is akin to planning a land invasion; save that taking another country by force probably requires less equipment and possibly, fewer firearms. To say nothing of the potential for emotional fallout. Gone are the days of visiting one set of grandparents for lunch and the other for dinner. In fact, ‘Christmas’ may no longer fall on Christmas day itself and has become a never-ending round of bon-bons, paper hats and the same three jokes that weren’t funny the first time and which may well push me over the edge. It’s time for a change. One day, I’m determined to hire an oval and invite all the constituent parts of my family, both far and wide. If needs be, different sections can be granted their own roped-off area. A Very Funky Christmas by James Brown will be gently

piped through the speaker system (I’ll save Phil Spector for later – most likely for when it’s time to vacate the venue) and I will travel around on a Segway, making sure I visit each group. That way, Christmas can be celebrated just once on Christmas day, allowing me to spend the rest of the holiday season as nature intended; by which I don’t mean naked but, rather, sitting on the couch, bloated and wondering which presents I can safely re-gift. That said, should I succeed in establishing ‘Stuartpalooza’ and see all my relatives in a single day, I’m not sure that lounging around will make me happy. It’s not as though they still play A Very Brady Christmas on a loop like they used to. Secretly, I suspect I quite like the protracted nature of our Christmas. To say nothing of the steady stream of leftovers that inevitably flow our way. It’s possible that I’ll turn up at many of these events with presents under one arm and Tupperware containers under the other. Christmas has changed for me. It may be protracted but, all in all, it’s better than ever. I have a cavalcade of nephews and nieces. To see them wear the same expression of awe that we used to is reward enough. Their enthusiasm is a reminder of how important family is. It doesn’t matter where you’re from – whether it’s Tyabb, Mornington, Melbourne or the planet Twerk, family is the thing that brings us together. Happy Christmas everyone. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Jewell takes to Kangas bowlers PROVINCIAL By IT Gully SORRENTO remained 20 points clear at the top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after smashing Langwarrin by eight wickets on Saturday. It was another dominant display from the Sorras, led by star opening batsman Nick Jewell, who smacked an unbeaten 157 in the win. Chasing 229 for victory, the Sorras resumed at 1/1 with opener Jedd Falck back in the sheds. Langwarrin opener Matt Davie then picked up the wicket of Rob Dunball to have the home side 2/5. However, together with Liam O’Connor (65 not out), Jewell crafted a sensational innings, steering the side to victory with eight overs to spare. The Kangas used seven bowlers in a

bid to remove Jewell, Dwayne Doig the best of them with 1/76 from 33 overs. After two straight losses, the Kangas have now dropped out of the top four for the first time. Long Island was the side that slipped into the top bracket after disposing of Mt Martha. The Islanders resumed just eight runs shy of Mt Martha’s first innings total of 75. Justin Bridgeman went on to make an unbeaten 80 before his side declared their innings at 6/153. Tim Bateman was the best of the Reds’ bowlers with 3/41 from 14 overs. Leading by 78 runs, the Islanders had just one thing on their mind and that was outright victory. Things started well, Scott Phillips

and Andrew Tweddle taking early wickets to have the visitors 2/18. However, Mitchel Darville (23), Corey Harris (15) and Brett Wilkinson (26 not out) steadied the ship and ensured Mt Martha batted out the remaining 60-odd overs in the match. Long Island used eight bowlers in a bid to bowl out the Reds, Chris Hocking the pick of them with 2/15 from 14 overs. Baxter got the 166 runs they needed for victory against Rye. After bowling the Demons out last week for 165, Baxter resumed on Saturday a couple of wickets down. Daniel Lanati (40), Dale Irving (51) and Daniel Warwick (34) ensured Baxter got over the line against the Demons on day two. Baxter finished at 4/179 with 15 overs remaining in the match.

Darren Groves was the best of Rye’s bowlers with 2/36. The Peninsula Old Boys bowlers needed to perform well on Saturday to defend the 206 runs they scored last week against Crib Point. They started well, taking the first two Magpies’ wickets with just 38 runs on the scoreboard. Luke Herrington and Luke Chapple (19) got the better of the bowlers and put on a 50-run partnership. Enter Eivion Bowen! Thrown the ball after many before him had a trundle, Bowen turned the match on its head. In a spell that spanned just eight overs, Bowen took complete control of the match and finished with superb figures of 5/23. Glenn Barclay (15) joined Luke Herrington at the crease and together

they started to get the Magpies back in the match. But Herrington, after scoring 90, became Bowen’s final victim and the Pies were left 45 runs short of victory. Mt Eliza did what it needed to do to defend its 297 against Heatherhill. The Mounties got on top of the Hills early, claiming the first four wickets for just 68 runs. Kristian Miller (54) and Nathan Martin (56) offered some resistance in the middle order but there was no wag in the tail. The Hills lost their last six wickets for just 45 runs. Mt Eliza opening bowlers Sam Creffield and Tom Baron were the best of the bowlers, claiming 3/41 and 3/55 respectively.

Ridge storm into four DISTRICT By IT Gully MAIN RIDGE rocketed into the MPCA District top four on Saturday after claiming outright victory over Seaford. The Ridge were due to resume on day two at 2/147 after Brendan Rossborough smashed 101. With a lead of just 37, rather than going on and batting, Main Ridge threw Seaford back in. The Ridge bowlers were up for the challenge, dismissing Seaford for just 119. Gareth Wyatt snared 5/32 to be the best of the Ridge bowlers. Needing about 80 runs to for victory, Michael Holmes (29) and Rosborough (25 not out) ensured the Ridge got the job done. Pines pulled off an outstanding win and remained in second place on the ladder after coming from nowhere to beat Delacombe Park. Resuming at 6/75 after earlier being 6/5, the Piners needed a couple of big performances to ensure victory. Those performances came from former Langwarrin premiership player Jeremy Weare and Brett Hudgson. Weare made 45 and with Hudgson, got the Piners back in the match. Hudgson was the real star though, go-

ing on to make 96. At 8/102, chasing 115 for victory, the game was in the balance. However, Rick Anstiss (27) joined Hudgson at the crease and they put on 89 for the 10th wicket. Pines finished all out for 205. Chris Brittain didn’t add any wickets to the four he took on day one, while Shane Deal finished with impressive figures of 5/34 from 13 overs. Seaford Tigers beat Baden Powell as expected. Set just 150 for victory, the Tigers resumed at 0/13. They didn’t have things all their own way though and Ash Mills (47) and Corey Hand (41) helped the Tigers to 9/166. At one stage the Tigers were 5/79. Nathan Rice was the pick of the Braves’ bowlers with 3/43. Hastings fell just three runs short of beating Boneo in a thriller at Boneo Reserve. Chasing 210 for victory, the Blues started disastrously, losing 7/71. However, the evergreen Tim Birch (81) and teenager Matthew Foy (40) went so close to pulling off an amazing victory. The pair took the score from 7/71 to 8/188 but Foy became Sean Spencer’s fourth victim, which swung the game

back in favour of the home side. The tail did its best to wag, however, the last wicket fell with the Blues’ score on 207. Ryan Jellie also picked up four wickets for the winners. Flinders has renewed hope for their season after knocking off glamour side Somerville. Setting the Eagles 235 for victory, noone would have been surprised to see last year’s grand finalists chase down the total. However, Flinders’ bowlers were at their best and knocked over the Eagles for less than 200 (199). Max Royal was the pick of the Sharks’ bowlers, claiming 4/37 from 12 overs, while Dwayne Field and Matt Burns picked-up a couple of wickets each. Jack Kennedy top scored for the Eagles with 59, while Justin Allsop scored 41. Carrum failed in its attempt to get the outright win against Ballam Park. The Lions scored 8/194 in its first innings and had the opposition one wicket down overnight. They went on to roll the Knights for 63, before sending them straight back into bat again. In the second innings, Ballam Park was able to offer some resistance and score 6/140.

Close call: Hastings lost to Boneo by just three runs at Boneo Reserve in their District match. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Hillmen rise to smash Cougars SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully RED HILL went into day two of its match against Carrum Downs with just one thing on its mind – quick wickets. After rolling the Cougars for 78 on day one and then making a quickfire 7/138, the Hillmen resumed on day two with three Carrum Downs batsmen back in the sheds. After snaring 2/8 in the first innings, Ross Corfield then went on a rampage in the second innings, snaring 5/27. Nick Wood also helped himself to a couple of wickets. Although better than their effort in the first innings, Carrum Downs only managed to score 135 in its second dig. Josh Spittal top scored with 45. The Hillmen needed just 76 runs to win the match with plenty of overs up their sleeve. They got the required runs while losing just two wickets with openers Nick Shaw and Riley Shaw scoring 38 and 31 respectively. Pearcedale successfully defended its big total of 253 against Dromana. Panthers skipper Chris Dew was the star with the ball, taking 3/41, while Shayne Gillings snared 3/51. Kaine Smith rounded out a wonderful personal performance,

picking-up 2/40 to go with his 51 runs. Number 11 batsman Nathan Sims top scored for the Hoppers with 45, while Dean Jarvie scored 31 at the top of the order. Skye scored an impressive victory against Rosebud. After making 8/251 on day one of the match, Skye then rolled the Buds for just 219. Rosebud enjoyed a couple of fruitful partnerships but they regularly lost wickets and couldn’t gain the upper hand for any prolonged period. Kane McDonald top scored for Rosebud with 54 batting in the middle order, Danny Spencer hit 44 batting at three and James Magee made 43. Skye shared the wickets around, Ben Milano picking up three wickets and Leigh Smith a couple more. Balnarring and Frankston YCW played out a big match, the visitors winning by just four runs. Balnarring made 285 on week one of the match and the Stonecats responded with 281, falling agonisingly short. Tyabb did the job against Tootgarook, defending its first innings total of 181. The Tooters were bowled out for 142, Adam DiTrocchio snaring four wickets and Luke Rus a couple for the Yabbies.

SUMMER ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE

Rye Gift celebrates 40th year in style THERE will be something for everybody at the 2014 Rye Gift. To celebrate the event’s 40th birthday, the organisers have decided to broaden the appeal to better cater for families and children. “We will be having arts and crafts, hair braids and feathers, balloon art for the kids,” said spokesman Bob Martin. “We’ll also have the presenters dressing up in various characters during the day such as Spiderman, Mickey Mouse, Catwomen, Batman and more.” “There will be free rides on some of Wittingslow Carnivals amusements.” The day’s professional running will kick off at 11am with a packed programme that will see a race or heat approximately every three minutes. During the lunch break at about 12.30pm, the Junior Rye Gift will be run. This event is monitored and run by the Southern Peninsula Little Athletics and all entrants need to be a member of the Little Athletic movement to be covered by insurance. Entries are accepted on the morning of the event. In addition to other events on the day is the running of the local football club’s 800-metre relay and a junior footballers race.

The organisers of the Rye Gift expect around 600 runners from all over Victoria to be in attendance as they use this event as a lead up to the Stawell Easter race. “Our event is one of a few that are held on a grass track as a lot of other clubs use athletic grounds,” said Mr Martin. “We believe that this event is unique in that the seven sporting clubs that make up the Rye Sports and Social Club all work together to ensure the day is a success,” said Mr Martin. “The exclusive use of voluntary labour means that 100% of the event proceeds go back to the seven clubs.” The major sponsor for the past ten years is Maw Civil Pty Ltd, Civil Engineers and The Rye & Dromana District Bank (Bendigo Bank), along with other local businesses including Wittingslow Carnivals, Clarrie Jennings & Sons, Rye RSL, and Rye Hotel. “Mornington Peninsula Shire have also been integral to the success of the Rye Gift by provide us with one of the best running surfaces that the runners experience,” said Mr Martin. “We hope to see many locals and visitors alike coming along to enjoy the day and making the Rye Gift one of the highlights of the summer season.”

Contented smiles are great reward for the chef: “I enjoy working in the calmer environment, people are in a relaxed state before they’re dining here and they’re grateful for and receptive of health-inspired food that looks vibrant on

the plate - they’re in a great frame of mind”. Food and Beverage manager Justin Hunter started at 17 in hospitality: “Just as Andy endeavours to showcase peninsula produce in as much of his food as possible, front of house we take what is an icon tourism destination role seriously too,” Justin said. “We have a great mix of vibrant, attentive and accommodating staff with healthy and engaging personalities - all ambassadors for the region.” Bookings for the Spa Dreaming Centre Cafe can be made on 5950 8777.

Art show goes from strength to strength THE 42nd Mornington Art Exhibition staged by the Rotary Club of Mornington has entered a new era involving contemporary and traditional technology. Traditionally information will be provided in the various publications of the show’s principal partners or supporters. The displays will be again of high quality and will feature over 800 paintings from local, Victorian and interstate artists. Art show information and a display of paintings entered will be detailed on the website at www.morningtonartshow.com.au. The Gala Opening Night tickets on Friday 17th January 2014 can also be purchased online or from Farrell’s Book Store, corner of Main Street and Barclay Street, Mornington or at Ken Cameron’s Menswear at 185 Main Street, Mornington. A new initiative for the 2014 art exhibi-

tion will be the inclusion of photographic art. Some outstanding displays of photography will enhance the range of media categories entered in the exhibition. This art exhibition has established itself as the biggest and best on the Mornington Peninsula and second only in size to the Camberwell Rotary Art show held later in the year. The Art Exhibition has raised more than $750,000 over this 42-year period for use on local and international Rotary projects. The Mornington clock tower, the four gazebo shelters and a range of youth programs involving students from local schools have been some projects funded from the art show. Held at the Peninsula Community Theatre from 18th-27th January, the Rotary organisers are again confident of presenting another fine art exhibition and sale for the Mornington Peninsula community.

Guide to a cracker summer PULL out the zinc cream and the 30+, throw on your boardies and Havaianas - summer is here. It’s that wonderful time of the year where a few things are certain: beaches are packed, sunburned shoulders are everywhere, Christmas parties are pumping and eskys are full to the brim. It’s also a time to relax and enjoy the best Mother Nature has to offer whilst following a few simple rules: 1. Do not under any circumstances wear white socks with your thongs. 2. Remember to slip, slop, slap. 3. Watch or listen to the cricket. Don’t be dill and miss out on the Ashes. If you can snaffle a ticket, do so, Boxing Day will be one for the ages. 4. Make sure your fridge is stacked. It’s hot and there’s nothing worse than having to run down to the bottle shop in the middle of stifling hot day. 5. Behave at your office Christmas party. There’s nothing worse than heading back to work, having to face the boss you gave a serve to or the co-worker you tried chatting up. 6. This one’s a no brainer - ice!!! Don’t forget it. Beverages must be kept cold at all times. There’s only one thing worse than warm beer and that’s no beer. 7. Get the housework and odd jobs done. You know the requests are coming, so get those gutters cleaned, the lawns mowed and tip run done as early as possible. This will leave a lot more time for numbers 3, 4 and 5. 8. This one’s a biggie – It’s never OK to wear Speedos at the beach. Never!!!! 9. BBQ BBQ BBQ, whenever and wherever possible. 10. Following on from Number 9, treat yourself and others by learning how to cook the perfect steak on the BBQ. Here are a few easy tips on how to do this surprise your guests: Let your steak reach room temperature before cooking. If your steak is the same

temperature throughout it will cook more evenly Season your steak lightly with salt and pepper Oil your steak, not the BBQ Your BBQ needs to be hot, to maintain the juiciness and tenderness of your steak Avoid the temptation to constantly flip your steak.

For a rare steak expect it to be soft and springier for medium rare. Don’t be impatient when you take your steak off the BBQ. Let it rest for 5-10 mins and allow the heat to settle and maintain its juices.
