Soft toys with life-saving ideals

Shelf life: Patrick Guest presents Ann and Garry Briggs with soft toy versions of the story characters they inspired.

Picture: Supplied

A BOOK launched in Mornington last week comes about after a chat between an author and a Main Street book seller.

Patrick Guest got the idea for his children’s book Rabby the Brave from a conversation he had with Ann Briggs, who has worked at Farrell’s bookshop for the past six years.

While chatting, Ms Brigg’s revealed she was soon to have a “small surgical procedure”. Being naturally curious, Mr Guest asked what it was all about and was told she was getting ready to donate a kidney to her husband, Garry, whose kidney function had fallen by 93 per cent.

Five years before, Mr Guest’s brother Bryan had died suddenly – but after earlier agreeing to donate his organs. Guest family members have been strong supporters of organ and tissue donations ever since.

Patrick Guest’s latest work focuses on two soft toys belonging to siblings Leon and Lily: Rabby the rabbit and Snuggles the elephant. In the story, Snuggles is inadvertently left in the rain causing him to lose an ear and damage his leg.

After a sleepless night, Rabby and Leon decide to help Snuggles by donating an ear and a leg – and Captain Rabby the Pirate is born.

The story is described as a warm-hearted take on living organ donation and generosity in the face of adversity.

It’s also relevant to the 148 deceased Victorian organ donors who have helped transform the lives of 389 grateful recipients: the highest number in any state. A further 273 living donors across Australia have provided partial liver and kidney transplants to 273 recipients, like Garry.

The Australian Organ Donor Register is at donatelife.gov.au The book is available at Farrell’s Bookshop.

GREAT SMILE

SENIOR police on the Mornington Peninsula are pleased with the drop in crime across almost all categories over the past 12 months.

Crime Statistics Agency figures for the year ending 31 December 2017 released last week show reported crimes in the region were down from 9123 to 8483.

Mornington Peninsula Local Area Commander Janene Denton, based at Rosebud, said it was “good news that

crime is trending in the right direction”.

“We live in a very safe area,” she said. “There is good community spirit on the peninsula and no reason for people to feel unsafe.”

Crimes Against the Person fell from 1204 last year to 1154 this year, with assaults down 769-702 and robbery 26-21. Sexual offences were up 149172 and dangerous and negligent acts endangering people up 104-125.

Stalking down 142-124 and burglary/break-and-enter 1487-1166.

Property and deception offences fell from 5496 last year to 4966 this year,

The coalition says it will lower crime by introducing mandatory minimum sentences, abolishing concurrent sentences for violent offenders on bail and parole, and introducing a three-point plan to toughen bail and a public register for sex offenders.

The party said there were 183 aggravated or attempted carjackings across the state last year. If elected they would appoint more police, re-open police stations and station police in 12 major shopping centre, including Bayside at Frankston.

but deceptions on their own were up 329-369 and drug use and possession up 260-283. Disorderly and offensive conduct was up 696-750.

Inspector Denton said use of media and social media – such as the police Eye-watch page – helped make residents aware of crime and made it easier for police to make arrests.

Despite the figures showing a drop in crime over past year, the state Liberal Nationals compared figures from 2014 to 2017 to say crime has “risen 4.61 per cent” on the peninsula (from 10,446 incidents up to 10,928) since Labor came to power.

Shire in running for new events policy Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au ONE result of the Sufferfest triathlon in Mt Martha earlier this month is that councillors may take over deciding which events can be held.

Permit applications are now determined by council officers.

Cr Sam Hearn is expected to move at the next meeting that councillors develop an evaluation policy “as a matter of urgency”.

The most obvious date-clash over the 3-4 March weekend was with the annual Clean-up Australia Day which has been running 19 years.

The clash – which saw a six-hour closure of the Esplanade from Mornington to beyond Mt Martha - was described as “highly disappointing” by former mayor Cr Bev Colomb.

The current mayor Cr Bryan Payne admitted there was “some confusion and we have just got to do it better”.

Complaints came from traders complaining about lost revenue and residents upset at having their quiet Sunday ruined by loudspeakers, roads closed for event parking and crossings along the Esplanade made dangerous by racing cyclists – in an event which had council and VicRoads approvals.

The council permit did not officially come through until the Thursday before the Sunday triathlon although entries were accepted by the organiser months in advance.

The events policy will seek to evaluate and regulate how such events impact on residents, businesses and infrastructure – before any permits are

granted.

Cr Simon Brooks said there was a “realisation that the peninsula is now attracting a growing number of events, often impacting local communities, businesses and infrastructure, but that the evaluation process has not kept up and needs improved guidance and an over-arching policy”.

“This policy would provide good guidance to staff assessing proposed events against community, environmental and financial impacts and benefits,” he said.

The events policy would look at creating a sliding scale of charges “commensurate to the nature and scale of the proposed event” – a possible reference to the $160 permit fee charged for the privately-run triathlon.

A workshop to write and adopt an events policy had the backing of CEO Carl Cowie, Cr Brooks said.

Roberts Road ‘win’ A GROUP of Mornington residents are celebrating a “victory” in their fight against a 371-unit retirement village development in Roberts Road.

This comes after developer Steller Estates withdrew its application for appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after the project was earlier knocked back by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

As a result of the withdrawal, VCAT has cancelled a compulsory conference set down for 5 April and a hearing date listed for 21 May. Opponent Christine Pingiaro, who lives nearby, described the developer’s appeal withdrawal as a “temporary victory”.

Busking at The Briars MUSICIANS, comedians and circus performers will perform at The Briars historic property, Mt Martha at the end of March in the second annual Peninsula Buskers Festival.

“We had about 20,000 people come through last year over three days, probably around 40 performers, 25 food trucks, kids amusements and an outdoor cinema,” organiser Scott Hollow said. “This year we’re looking to have more than 100 performers, with those same outdoor cinemas and kids amusements.”

Hollow expects at least 25,000 people will come along to watch the shows.

“The Briars is really an untapped resource when it comes to events and we believe it’s definitely a place that should hold these kinds of

festivals,” he said.

“It’s going to be great to get the word out there about what a beautiful place The Briars is.

Having an event there also won’t disturb any of the locals in terms of sound, and the landscape is beautiful at night.

“Performers can come from anywhere. Last year we concentrated on Victorian and local, but this year we’ve had more people apply, including an international flame thrower.”

Entry to the festival is free. The Peninsula Busking Festival will take place at The Briars, Nepean Highway, Mt Martha, midday-10 pm on Saturday 31 March and Sunday 1 April.

Pet care a comfort for family violence victims

Ready to ride: Chris Savage, fourth from left, and supporters of the White Bike Foundation - established in memory of Joel Hawkins - Paul Field, Tom Pountney, Leslie Hawkins, Damian Flatz, Tara Bressan, Liza Hawkins, Kane Hawkins and Zac Adie.

Picture: Supplied

Coach cycles for safety’s sake CLOSE friends and family of Joel Hawkins gathered on a Dromana roadside last Saturday near where the 17-year-old cyclist was hit by a car in June 2015.

Joel, who had already notched up a long list of cycling achievements, died after spending more than a week on life support at the Alfred hospital.

A white ghost bike was placed in his memory near the corner of Marine Parade and Nepean Highway and now his former coach, Chris Savage, is taking the White Bike Foundation’s safety

message to Canberra.

Savage left Mornington for Canberra on Saturday and is due to end his 1700 kilometre ride next Monday.

“It has been amazing to see the way the Mornington Peninsula community has rallied around what we are trying to do,” Joel’s mother Liza Hawkins, of Mt Martha, said. “We want the message to spread far and wide, because we believe that everybody has the right to use the road safely and complete every journey.”

Joel’s father Leslie urged road users

to “double check they are making the safest decision for everybody – life is such a vulnerable thing and the impact of a road casualty is absolutely devastating to all communities involved”.

Savage said the 1700 kilometre ride would “mark Joel’s 17 years with us”.

“It will hurt, but nothing will come close to the emotional pain inflicted when a person is taken from us in a road casualty. We want all road-sharers to take one extra second before acting on a decision – to make sure it is the safest option.”

CRISIS accommodation is now available for women, children and their pets fleeing family violence.

The Eastern Domestic Violence Service (EDVOS) says pets can play a significant role in family dynamics and it is importance to also support them when women and children are fleeing family violence.

EDVOS now has accommodation available at three crisis properties in Melbourne’s eastern metropolitan area that can safely accommodate women, children and their pets – each equipped with kennels, pet food and other animal amenities.

The service is also working with Women’s Liberation Halfway House (WLHH) to provide the first specialist pet-friendly women’s refuge in Victoria by the end of June.

“Women and children go through unspeakable trauma during family violence and being forced to abandon one of their only comforts causes further emotional damage,” EDVOS executive director Jenny Jackson said.

“EDVOS pet-friendly crisis properties and WLHH refuge can save lives, both human and animal. The knowledge that these shelters are out there, and that they are increasing in numbers is a bright spot in the ugly reality of family violence.

“Hundreds of women, children and their beloved pets across Victoria are constrained in violent relationships because the fear and practicalities of leaving are just too overwhelming. Let’s hope this can now start to change.”

Ms Jackson said research shows that 53 per cent of women in violent relationships with pets reported their animals had also been abused or threatened.

Welfare workers or women in distress can call EDVOS 9am-8pm Monday to Friday or 9am-5pm Saturdays on 9259 4200.

Adopt a greyhound A “50 Shades of Grey” adoption promotion ending next Sunday (25 March) is aimed at finding new homes for 30 greyhounds from the RSPCA Victoria’s Animal Care Centres.

RSPCA Victoria animal care manager Liz Walker said the dogs had distinct personalities. “We have excitable, attention-seeking greys through to docile, shy gentle giants,” Ms Walker said.

Most are exempt from having to wear muzzles in public and come with a reduced $50 adoption fee.

“Greyhounds are intelligent, friendly dogs with a gentle and sensitive temperament. They are well suited to a variety of different lifestyles and homes, which is why they continue to be one of our most popular dogs among those adopting,” Ms Walker said.

“Although they are often bred for sprinting, most greyhounds do not require much exercise and will happily curl up on their owner’s couch.”

The RSPCA Peninsula Centre is at 1030 Robinsons Road, Pearcedale.

Sweet reward from backing bees SMALL hives and “bee hotels” could lead to backyards blooming with indigenous plants as well as helping save the threatened flying insects.

Housing for native bees may be offered as a sweetener if Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors follow the lead of Moonee Valley City Council which has embarked on a program to raise awareness of the plight of native bees.

A group from the peninsula was given an insight into Moonee valley’s program, which is likely to see that city’s mayor Cr John Sipek being invited to explain the benefits of bee keeping to his peninsula counterparts.

The Mornington Peninsula Shire’s natural systems team manager, Simon Thorning and Crs Antonella Celi and David Gill are enthusiastic about introducing a save-the-bees bee program after having a close-up look at Moonee Valley’s bees.

Cr Gill said their visit was prompted by Balnarring Beach resident and bee enthusiast, Alex Lusnats.

“We spent a Friday morning with Moonee Valley’s mayor John Sipek and learnt about their inexpensive but valuable bee program,” Cr Gill said.

with several native bees. Hundreds of children now care for these nonaggressive bees in their backyards.”

“I can see the value to the peninsula of having a similar program. We need Italian and other overseas bees for agricultural production to safeguard our local $1 billion food bowl including market gardens and honey production.”

Cr Gill said native bees were being “lost” to the more competitive intro-

duced honey bees.

“There were once many kinds of native bees, but there has been a drastic reduction. My local favourite is the beautiful blue banded bee, but they are now difficult to find.

“Native bees pollinate our remnant indigenous vegetation and are part of our eco-system.

“With community support we could relocate honey bees from the shire’s

many bushland reserves to agricultural areas. This would increase our native bees population while encouraging honey bees to do their job.”

Cr Gill said “the next step” in his bid to protect native bees was to invite Cr Sipek to outline Moonee Valley’s bee program to shire councillo0rs.

Cr Sipek said it would be great for Moonee Valley to have a bee sister city.

Shire splashes out for 50m pool Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A STRONG show of public support helped swing the vote in favour of building a 50-metre swimming pool at a packed Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting on Tuesday night, 13 March.

About 150 “enthusiastic but well behaved” supporters crammed into Rosebud Memorial Hall to back the larger option for the Rosebud Aquatic Centre at Besgrove Street. Some carried signs urging approval of the 50-metre pool; others wore water polo caps.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne later described the unanimous council vote as “fantastic”.

He said the councillors’ backing of the larger pool over a 25-metre lower-cost alternative recommended by shire officers was an example of “what local government is all about”.

The shire’s buildings and open space team leader David Hampton said the 25-metre indoor pool option “should substantially meet expected community demand and deliver the greatest benefits for the lowest cost and with lesser environmental impacts. This option is considered to offer best value for money”.

But, in a case where the heart ruled the head, Cr Payne said: “With the proper process you get the residents’ feedback,” citing the 94 per cent of respondents from all those surveyed who backed a 50-metre pool.

“The officers looked from the business point of view, but the councillors looked wider: to school carnivals, lap swimming, swimming clubs and life-saving clubs. It really was a no brainer as far as I was concerned,” he said.

Cr Simon Brooks said choosing the larger pool against the officers’ recommendation was acceptance of a “resounding message from the community”.

“All the way through the officers had indiDECKING

was “unlikely to significantly drive additional visitations or revenue”.

“The business case forecasts 8372 additional visits per annum (161 persons per week) for a 50-metre pool, with operating costs forecast to increase by $132,000 per annum for the larger competition pool,” Mr Hampton stated.

The 50-metre pool will reportedly cost an extra $7.6 million to build.

The privately-managed 25-metre Pelican Park Recreation Centre at Hastings costs the shire just under $1 million a year.

Cr Brooks said he would “test” the shire officers and the engineer to design a roofed pool with a glass wall opening out to lawn on the north side to cater for school sports and swimming carnivals.

Mr Hampton said it would have been costly to expand the main pool size, “however, not impossible”.

Community surveys by phone, ‘Have Your Say’ submissions, pop-up sessions in busy or popular places engaged about 7200 participants. Responses were received from 40 townships. Rosebud had the most respondents (1122) followed by Rye (590), Capel Sound (368), Dromana (214), McCrae (192), Tootgarook (189) and Blairgowrie (182). Together these towns accounted for 2774 or 74 per cent of responses. Nine groups and schools made submissions on the pool size.

Long-time 50-metre pool campaigner Betty Preston said the “community was invited to have its say and the council listened”.

“To have 15,318 respondents take part [in the surveys] was amazing,” she said.

The council says it is supporting a “fasttracked approach” to delivering the Rosebud Aquatic Centre by September 2020. A report to appoint the project design consultant will be presented to the council’s 24 April meeting.

Family day out

Opposition OBJECTIONS are being lodged and a petition signed opposing a two-storey 180-bedroom aged care centre near the corner of Bird Rock Avenue and the Esplanade, Mt Martha.

The proposal by the Lendlease adjoins the company’s existing Martha’s Point and Koorootang retirement villages.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has been asked to approve subdivision of 594 and 602 the Esplanade to create a lot at the rear for the aged care centre.

Access to the centre would be from the Esplanade and houses in Bird Rock Avenue would back onto the proposed development.

cated their preference for the 25-metre option, but the pool will be there for 50 years-plus … [and it would have been] a very expensive proposition to enlarge it or build a new 50-metre pool in the future. However, I understand that some councillors didn’t want to spend that amount of money.”

Councillors’ support for the larger pool was described as “democracy in action” by Cr Antonella Celi who successfully put the 50-metre option to a vote.

“It could also be described as civic participation meets political will, she said. “It went down to the wire and we knew we would have strong debate.

“This issue has cut to the heart and soul of the community. It has taken 10 years and now all the argy-bargy is behind us.”

Cr Celi said capping the cost at $43.57 million as proposed by Cr David Gill was “fair enough”. “We need to ensure that costs don’t blow out.”

Cr Hugh Fraser said the council was in a “strong financial position to undertake this essential 50-metre pool project”.

“Over the past five years the shire has paid off $31 million of debt down to $12 million by 30 June. This is the result of prudent financial decisions by [the previous] council. The new Rosebud pool will have a 50-year life.

“Low interest rates and long-term borrowings will ensure it will be enjoyed by all the shire now; fairly and equitably paid for by present and future ratepayers.”

Council officers in advocating for a 25-metre pool had used Australian Bureau of Statistics regional population forecasts to indicate the shire’s population would grow to 68,245 in 2031 - “well short of the of 100,000 population catchment threshold required to justify investment in a 50-metre pool”.

They said a larger competition-sized pool

BERG Mt Martha, a bushland friends group for the Balcombe Estuary, is gearing up for its biannual family day on Sunday 25 March with an emphasis on art and crafts.

The free fun activities are designed to help youngsters understand the environment and the creatures who live in it at the old camping ground in Mirang Avenue from 10am to 2pm.

There will be art and craft activities for children (including face painting) and Indigenous artists from Baluk Arts will run workshops to create bush critters from hay and wool.

Other activities will include bird watching with Birdlife Australia, model landscaping, playing water games with Melbourne Water, searching for creek critters and tai chi.

Moonlit Sanctuary will provide a chance to get up close and personal with some reptiles and, of course, Sausages and coffee will be available.

“This will be a great day for kids and their parents or grandparents. The emphasis will be on fun and helping local young people – and their parents - get to know about the estuary on their doorstep,” BERG MM secretary Di Lewis said.

Planning consultants hired by objectors say the “constraints of the proposed site … will result in detrimental amenity impacts to our clients and the wider Mt Martha community”.

Opponents to the Lendlease plan are objecting to the size of the aged care centre and traffic that it will generate.

“The commercial building is out of character with the development pattern of the area, and no meaningful transition is provided between existing residential lots used for ‘dwelling ‘and the ‘aged care facility’,” the consultant said.

Road talk: Liberal MPs and Mornington Peninsula Shire delegates at state parliament discussing improving the shire’s roads: Russell Joseph (Liberal candidate for Nepean), Martin Dixon, David Hodgetts, David Gill, Ed Pocock, Doug Bradbury, Neale Burgess, Bryan Payne and David Morris. Picture: Supplied

Shire lines up help for roads STATE opposition MPs have been told that the Mornington Peninsula needs an overall roads strategy.

A delegation from Mornington Peninsula Shire last week met with Liberal Party MPS, including roads and infrastructure spokesman David Hodgett.

Cr David Gill said the shire also intended to meet with members of the Labor government to press the need for safer roads.

“We had a good hearing [from the opposition] and they basically said they were interested and would look into it,” Cr Gill told The News.

“They’re local MPs and want to do something and they could possibly be part of the next government.”

The delegation from the shire comprised Cr Gill, the mayor Cr Bryan Payne, infrastructure strategy manager Ed Pocock and traffic engineer Doug Bradbrook.

The state election is due in November and Cr Gill said the shire had also made a submission to a parliamentary inquiry into the state’s rural roads.

“This is a first step and we intend meeting with everyone on all sides [of politics] – it’s just happens that our local MPs [David Morris, Mornington, Neale Burgess, Hastings and Martin Dixon, Nepean] are all Liberals and we got together with them first. Roads on the peninsula were not built for the kind of use they get now, with tourists and our growing population.

“People are crisscrossing the peninsula, investigating every nook and cranny. There are more than 350 wineries and although they don’t have cellar doors or restaurants, there are hundreds that do and some are open daily.”

Cr Gill said while VicRoads was not responsible for all roads on the peninsula it did determine what speeds applied at every road crossing, “and we have examples of 80 kilometres an hour and 100, sometimes on unsealed roads”.

“This is a piecemeal approach although it wouldn’t be that hard to have a peninsula-wide roads strategy as it’s a clearly defined area with sea on three sides.”

CEO’s career ‘an education’ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au WHEN Maria Peters looks back on a 30-year career at Chisholm TAFE Institute she says it is the camaraderie between staff she will miss most of all in retirement.

The CEO decided last year to step down at Chisholm Institute on 31 December and hand over the chief executive officer reins of the vocational education college’s campuses to successor Dr Richard Ede. “I know I’ll miss the people and I’ll miss the intellectual stimulation but I’m just looking to have some time to re-energise and I’ll always have my eye on Chisholm and I’m sure it’ll go on to bigger and better things.”

Chisholm TAFE Institute has nine campuses across Victoria including a Frankston and a Rosebud campus.

Ms Peters, who hung up the CEO spurs for the final time on the last day of 2017, says her three decades working in the education sector has been marked with change and there has been no time more turbulent and challenging than the past few years.

Sector budget cuts made restructuring Chisholm’s operations a top priority.

“You can only get through a lot of change with the support of wonderful people from staff right through to leaders in the business,” she said.

“There have been some wonderful but also some challenging times.

“I think the board and leadership team decided to control its own destiny by making some tough decisions

College gone

FORMER Chisholm TAFE Institute CEO Maria Peters says competition from registered training organisations made life tough for TAFE providers across the state.

Evocca College closed its Frankston campus last year amid criticism of low graduation rates.

“They weren’t alone but at the end of the day quality and integrity shone through,” Ms Peters said.

“What I feel sad about is that it had an impact on individuals and maybe they’ve ended up with debts that they didn’t fully understand they were going to incur and perhaps with a qualification that’s not going to help them achieve the career that they wanted.” earlier to make sure we’re here for the long haul.”

The arrival of privately-operated registered training organisations (RTOs) meant TAFE colleges effectively found themselves competing with the private sector for students.

Ms Peters says Chisholm Institute saw the writing on the wall early on and decided to change its courses to become more industry focused to provide training for jobs where there was a growing need for graduates.

“They were hard times ... contestability did threaten everything that we stood for.”

She said working with students has been rewarding over the past three decades.

“I didn’t realise just how much of an impact it could make to an individual’s life or communities and industries.

“The sector’s going through a bit of change and turbulence but I believe the

SATURDAY OPEN DAY

TAFE sector does make a difference better than anyone else.”

Change is visible at Chisholm’s Frankston campus which is in the midst of a $75.9 million rebuild as part of a joint Labor state government and Chisholm project to upgrade the TAFE training centre.

The departed CEO says the development will be completed by the end of 2018 and new buildings and planned courses at Frankston will see the TAFE education provider strengthen its ties with industry to give students the opportunity to turn their qualifications into a career.

Service jobs in health and nursing, hospitals and early childhood education in the region are booming and Ms Peters says even though automation is changing manufacturing businesses, automation will bring some of its own jobs including cybersecurity and “new types of employment” in IT.

“The Frankston redevelopment will help people with involvement for the jobs of now and jobs in the future,” she said.

“We’re hoping by 2022 in partnership with La Trobe University to have up to 22 degrees offered.”

As for the retiring Ms Peters, she says she will always remember her time at Chisholm with fondness.

“The view for Chisholm is quite spectacular. I’m just a passing custodian but it’s been an incredible journey and privilege.

“It’s been a really tough decision to retire. I’ve been here 30 years. I started as an educator. I think it’s just time now.

The organisation is in a good place.”

She is looking forward to not having a diary laying out the year ahead for her as CEO and unlike TAFE students planning a future career “it feels very liberating to not know what tomorrow brings.”

Flights of delight AIRCRAFT of many shapes and sizes took to the skies over Tyabb (and beyond) during the Tyabb Air Show on Sunday 11 March.

Peninsula Aero Club president Jack Vevers said the “pretty busy day went off without any hiccups”, with a record crowd thrilling to the sound of Rolls Royce Merlins and the roar of heavy radial engines.

Nicknamed “War & Peace” the show featured planes from WWI, such as Tiger Moths and Spitfires, as well as a WWII-era Mustang fighter, a Melbourne-built A68-199, and the world’s only airworthy Lockheed Hudson bomber. Other drawcards included high powered military machines, like the Grumman Avenger, as

well as historic and rare civil aircraft representing the core of the club’s collection.

Australian aerobatics champion Paul Bennet performed aerial manoeuvres in his Wolf Pitts Pro special alongside the ADF’s helicopters and RAAF Roulettes, with one pilot landing and talking to visitors. Classic and vintage cars were also on show.

Mr Vevers said the weather was kind and all the aircraft – even the WWI planes which can be temperamental – fired up and took to the skies as if to enjoy the event.

The air show has been a highlight of the club’s activities over the past 44 years, he said.

‘Laurie’s Shed’: Dunkley MP Chris Crewther and Cr Bev Colomb help Laurie Taylor cut the ribbon to open the storage shed at Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens. Picture: Supplied

Garden shed a bloomin’ marvel A NEW storage shed is a bloomin’ marvel for committee members and volunteers at Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens. They had a sausage sizzle to celebrate the opening of the new building at Civic Reserve, corner Mornington-Tyabb and Dunns roads, on Tuesday 13 March.

Rose gardens founding member Laurie Taylor is seen as the driving force behind the building, which replaces three shipping containers.

“Laurie’s vision and energy made it all possible,” volunteer Ron Fisher said.

“His endeavours were supported by federal

and local government grants as well as donations from community organisations, local businesses and fundraising by the committee and volunteers.”

The facility is referred to as “Laurie’s Shed” by the volunteers who appreciate its easy access to tools and equipment.

Mornington Botanical Rose Gardens has previously received a Garden of Excellence award from the World Federation of Rose Societies and is currently the featured garden on the National Rose Society of Australia’s website.

WE CAN ASSIST YOU WITH IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO BOND AND RENT Transmitting turtle: Terry the green sea turtle about to make his way back to the sea seven months after being found sick and tired at Rye. At his release, the turtle was nearly double his weight when found and had also been fitted with a transmitter to researchers can track his movements.

Terry the turtle on track home

A GREEN sea turtle found sick and tired on a Rye beach last August is now back at sea somewhere off Victoria’s east coast near Mallacoota.

Named Terry by staff at Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium, the turtle weighed 7.7kg when rescued and “a healthy” 15.8kg when released earlier this month at Secret Beach.

Terry underwent a rehabilitation program designed and supervised by the aquarium’s veterinary team.

“There’s no doubt that this special turtle means a great deal to our team and we’ve been absolutely privileged to work closely with Terry over the last seven months as we’ve nursed him back to health,” exhibit manager Tereza Todd said.

“We’ve also been truly humbled by the interest and support of Australians who have been closely following Terry’s story and been championing his progress – Terry is one popular turtle.”

Terry - aged three to five - is expected to swim towards warmer waters along the north eastern coast and has been fitted with a satellite tag that will help the aquarium to track his journey (www.sealifetrust. org.au/our-campaigns/turtle-watch).

The satellite tag was donated by the Sea Life Trust, an independent not-for-profit organisation committed to helping conserve marine life, and will also provide data to help understand the natural behaviour of the endangered green sea turtles.

Fun for all as sun shines for Red Hill Show ON Saturday March 10, the Red Hill showgrounds transformed into a colourful, appetizing and entertaining spectacle for the whole family. The sun was out, the weather beautiful and the Mornington Peninsula was on show.

The community was the focus of this year’s celebrations with a record number of local groups and exhibitors participating. The skilled artisans of the McClelland Spinners & Weavers and Woodturners Guild educated and inspired the crowd. Willum Warrain our local indigenous group, the CWA and Ian a traditional puppet master ran free activities and creative workshops.

“While agricultural shows are closing across the country for lack of support, Red Hill is bucking this trend

with record cattle entries from top class breeders,” said show executive officer Bec Davis.

“We have great participation from many local schools across the livestock, photography and art sections including Flinders Christian Community College, Dromana Secondary, Padua College and Elizabeth Murdoch Collage to the Tyabb Scouts just to name a few.”

The cider show finished with 69 cider entries from across Australia with local Seven Oaks Cider taking out the Best Apple Cider in Show. Richard Cornish from Gourmet Traveller entertained the audience throughout the day with a host of judges and cider demos.

The woodchop grandstands were packed to the rafters as usual and kids

lined up for their piece of souvenir offcut timber. For the third year in a row, Cooper, the border collie cross took out the Dog High Scramble in the record jump of 2.85 metres.

“On behalf of the Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Society we would like to thank our incredible team of volunteers who coordinate this event each year and the local producers who support it. We must also mention our major sponsors, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Hillview Quarries, Our Vans RV, Hastings Mowers, Mornington Toyota, Robot Building, Swan St Sales, Hawkes Farmgate and Mornington Peninsula News Group,” said Mrs Davis “This is a community event we can all be proud of. See you all the same time next year.”

FIRST CLASS LIVING ACROSS TWO MAGNIFICENT LEVELS CAPTURING sweeping, constantly changing water views across Port Phillip Bay to the sparkling Melbourne city skyline, this impeccable beach side residence, complete with resort-style heated swimming pool and guest quarters, showcases an outstanding lifestyle package for those seeking the ultimate sea change. Set on a large 1042 square metre block that tapers to a point in the south corner, the impressive double-storey home has been designed by Greg MacDonald to showcase formal and casual lounge and dining areas that are encased in walls of glass where sliding doors frame the cobalt expanse of the bay. The below-ground floor comprises the guest quarters with a comfortable selfcontained space including kitchen with living area, ensuite bathroom and a bedroom.

To the first floor and an enormous wrap around deck welcomes you with a dazzling first impression few properties can surpass, and once inside a wide hallway efficiently takes you through to the bedroom wing. A large master bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe, with two more bedrooms with built-in robes sharing the main bathroom. Handsome timber floors that flow throughout most areas positively gleam from the abundance of natural light which elevates the five superb zones working together to create a wondrous sense of space and spreading the appeal of the breathtaking view and expansive outdoor entertaining decks. A magnificent formal dining area is set opposite the gleaming kitchen which is full of stainless-steel appliances, granite bench tops and crisp white cabinetry.

There is a large family meals area with wood combustion heater for the cooler months, and a plushly carpeted lounge room affords the best outlook with access to the wide deck where you can enjoy sublime outdoor dining as the ships glide by. The beautiful pool and spa area has a reassuring sense of privacy set low in a Mediterranean garden setting that pleasingly still manages to receive plenty of sunshine. The bubbling spa will be the place to unwind with a cool drink at sunset as you tune out to the soothing trickle of the water feature.n

“Brendan was referred to us by some friends who had purchased their home with his help. From the minute we called for a property valuation to the signing of the contract, Brendan was amiable, enthusiastic and professional, encouraging at all times and reassuring us that we were doing all the right things. It wasn’t necessary to contact Brendan as he always kept us up to date, although we were convinced he never goes home as he was always available. Our home took less than 2 weeks to sell as the original valuation was accurate and the ship was navigated by a truly competent captain.

We thank the whole team at Bonaccorde, it was a complete privilege to put our home in their hands.”

STYLISH COASTAL OASIS

OH PRETTY EMMA

FULL of style and presented to perfection with a dazzling array of quality fixtures and fittings, this dreamy beachside property is the ultimate weekend retreat or everyday living wonder. The use of timber flooring anchors the clean modern lines of the home which create a gorgeous light-filled living area where high pitched ceilings accentuate the sense of space. A crisp kitchen showcases glossy white cabinetry and the adjoining lounge and dining room features a wood fire and split-system air-conditioning with access from here out to the alfresco deck. The clever layout incorporates four excellent bedrooms; three share the contemporary modern bathroom with deep free-standing soaker tub, whilst the larger master bedroom has a lovely sitting area and an ensuite. From the street there is a huge four-car garage, plus an additional carport. This luxurious, low-maintenance oasis is close to schools and an easy stroll along the picturesque boardwalk takes you to Mount Martha village shops.n

THE savvy renovator or investor will certainly realise the potential on offer here in the prized suburb of Carrum. This cute weatherboard home has notched up a solid 60 plus years and has all the great bones for an aspiring renovator to muck in and transform into a polished gem, about four blocks from the beach. Hardwood floors feature to a cosy lounge with gas heater – there is also ducted heating – and the kitchen has a dishwasher with an adjoining meals area. Three good sized bedrooms all share the distinctly original main bathroom. Set on a manageable 486 square metre block, the property also has handy dual access from Whatley Lane.n

Labor needs to honour on Shorten’s concerns International Women’s Day has come and gone without mention of the plight of thousands of ageing women in Australia whose fate is to live with the difficulties and stresses of managing their adult children with intellectual disability in their own homes.

This is because, despite the much-vaunted NDIS, there are only six percent of the 460,000 eligible “children” able to find places in specialist residential accommodation. Those who cannot, join the long queue waiting for stateprovided social and affordable housing.

[Labor leader] Bill Shorten in 2013 said [on radio] “Ever since I got elected to parliament I’ve been involved in how we improve the situation for people with profound and severe disabilities and their carers. And the status quo is hopeless”. He went on in the interview “… people were stretched up and down emotionally, they’re at breaking point ... and disability has been a disgrace for a hundred years ... Let’s just get on and do the job”.

This is the man who in the Senate now stands in the way of an increase in the Medicare levy designed to improve funding in the NDIS. If, as seems likely, he becomes prime minister, these desperate women can only hope he remembers his sympathy and fine words of five years ago.

Brian Jones, Capel Sound

Green wedge eyesore The Mornington Peninsula is a region of high landscape values and high biodiversity.

The VicRoads dumpsite on Nepean Highway, Dromana (Melway 151 A12) is atrocious. [It is] a highly visible site that looks like a landfill or some industrial site, which it has effectively

become.

In the past VicRoads would lease or buy land in an industrial estate, which is an appropriate location for the storage of goods and vehicles, not out in the peninsula’s pristine green wedge.

The site has expanded beyond the industrial mesh fence to be a dumping ground of gravel, spoil and even cement, for VicRoads contractors.

Illegal dumping of mattresses, organic waste and the contents of bin skips now is attracted to this site, given the example set by VicRoads, with no attempt to remove this illegal material.

When is the wire rope barrier program finished and when will VicRoads rehabilitate the site?

A vegetation buffer to hide this eyesore behind the fence would be a welcome short term measure, but the community wants this industrial site relocated to the industrial estate where it belongs.

David Gibb, Dromana

Time for new CEO I, and many ratepayers like me, expect that the position of CEO of the Mornington Peninsula Shire will be advertised and a suitable candidate chosen at a much reduced salary package (“Expert called in over CEO’s job” The News 20/2/18)).

I want councillors to consider: They are all here to serve this fine community.

They were elected and serve at ratepayers’ pleasure.

The money that they commit is our money and we, the ratepayers, expect value.

It is all very well hiring a consultant to review the current set up. Most of us think that is a copout by this council to avoid making the necessary decisions to return this position to a less

costly and more suitable candidate who lives in and understands the concerns of peninsula people.

We think councillors should dispense with the consultant and get on with the fairly simple task of choosing a more acceptable CEO. Bob Robinson, Mornington

system.

The $40 million would be much better spent building a commercial incinerator to burn nonrecyclable rubbish instead of going to barbaric landfills.

Patrick Geeves, Somerville

Sky high bungle

I have just received notice from my electricity provider that it will be reducing my rates by 5 per cent because: “We recently purchased even more renewable generation assets and signed agreements with new wind and solar farms (in Victoria and NSW) to buy energy at below current wholesale rates. On average, customers in Victoria will be receiving a reduction of around 5 per cent on their total bill - the even better news is we’re hoping to do this more in the future. This price reduction proves continuing to do the right thing by our customers and the planet, doesn’t need to cost the earth.”

So much for the government’s argument that coal is cheaper.

The results in South Australia show that renewables are more stable and come online quicker than coal-fired plants when demand increases.

The government needs to invest in industries and jobs of the future. Coal is dead and the mobs associated with it will be soon evaporating just like the auto industry where they tried to prop it up artificially with taxpayer funds.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Who is the clever little sausage who decided that it would be a great idea to run two of the Mornington Peninsula’s top attractions, the Tyabb air show and the Rosebud kite festival on the same day? Brilliant.

Denis Feely, Tyabb

Shire chooses 50m pool Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has unanimously approved a 50-metre swimming pool with a cost cap of $41m to be built on the corner of Besgrove Street and Boneo Road, Rosebud.

Council rejected a $34m 25-metre pool.

This decision was made after shire-wide community consultation overwhelmingly favoured a 50-metre pool - a consistent response from Sorrento (91 per cent) to Mornington (82 per cent).

This response sensibly reflects the shire’s urbanisation along Port Phillip - with excellent road links connecting Mornington and Rosebud.

This unique demography suggests a proper catchment area test of the necessary 100,000 said to sustain 50 metres – is not a simple 15km circle - including the fish in Port Phillip - but an unconventional 20km ellipse including Mornington, lifting the catchment from 56,000 to at least 81,000.

The Rosebud site is superbly located with primary, secondary and tertiary educational facilities, among council-planned medical and related centres in Boneo Road, in the Olympic Park sporting precinct – 76 per cent of all shire visitors will pass this “gateway” pool to visit the southern peninsula.

The shire is well placed to finance this 50-metre pool. Shire debt was at $43 million in 2012.

The previous council prudently paid down debt - $31m over five years to $12m by 30 June this year. With long-term borrowings, council will be providing a 50-metre pool with a 50-year life, to be fairly and equitably paid for by this and future generations of ratepayers.

Council confidently voted in favour of a 50-metre pool and has not - like the old ship The Rosebud – foundered in 25 metres.

Hugh Fraser, councillor for Nepean Ward

Mornington News

20 March 2018

John Cain has forgotten that Rosebud had a 50-metre pool (“Logic against 50m pool” Letters 13/3/18). We only want the return of that great facility enjoyed by many and will be enjoyed again by the ever increasing number of residents on the Mornington Peninsula.

His closing statement that future Olympic athletes from Rosebud would not materialise by having a 50 metre pool shows how negative and regressive his attitude to young people’s aspirations and challenges are.

Only he exhibits common sense, apparently, and we should only listen to arguments for a 25-metre pool. One would have to wonder about the motives of all councils where 50-metre pools are provided.

Frankston, our neighbour, and all the other Melbourne pools are 50 metres.

Come on John, use your common sense and decency for our residents young and old, do something that we will be proud of, a 50-metre pool, not a pretend play pool but an Olympic pool for possible Olympians from Rosebud.

Judy Martin, McCrae

Use money to burn I have noticed there are still a lot of letters to this newspaper about the new Rosebud pool proposal and whether it should be 25 or 50 metres.

At the end of the day it should not be built at Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers’ expense as 90 per cent of them will never use or visit it.

I live at Somerville, so there is no way I will use it and the same goes for most of the other ratepayers, so we should not be slugged for it in our rate bills.

Maybe only the people that live in the Rosebud area should have their rates increased to pay the debt?

I think it would be better if the southern peninsula aquatic centre is built and run by private enterprise so it becomes a user pays system, not a ratepayers servicing a debt they don’t want

Renewable savings

Rally for refugees Many Australians are publicly calling on the federal government to change the current inhumane and unjust policies towards refugees on Nauru and Manus Islands, and those in Australia.

A rally is to be held at 2pm on Sunday 25 March outside the State Library, Melbourne to express our great concerns about the continuing inhumane treatment of refugees. This rally has been organised by the Refugee Advocacy Network and is supported by many and varied organisations.

Australia is responsible for the futures of those detained offshore and in Australia. We pay many millions of dollars of our taxes to maintain these unsustainable offshore centres and are responsible for policies which reflect little respect for the human rights, and leave people – men women and many children to languish in limbo.

There are other options for an Australian response.

Attendance at the rally is important. It’s time again for Australians to tell politicians loud and clear that we do not support the current cruel policies towards refugees. We want offshore centres to be closed. We want the detainees on Nauru and Manus to come here or be settled in a suitable third country. We want an honest and respectful dialogue as we confront this complex world wide issue of people leaving their homes to find safety elsewhere.

We need long term sustainable and humane policies for those who seek refuge in our country.

Come to the rally if you can with family and friends.

Ann Renkin, Shoreham

‘Draconian violence’ I would like to know why 20 security officers were sent to arrest a couple with two small kids in the early hours in order to place them in detention pending deportation. Why such draconian violence on a peaceful valuable family simply because you can.

This is horrible behaviour from the Department of Home Affairs whose minister is no longer answerable to the parliament.

We need to stand up to bullies who appear to enjoy power far too much.

Patricia Rayner, Somers

Bleeding heart My heart bleeds for our Mornington Peninsula self-funded retirees facing a drop from (say) imputation credits of $60,000 to $55,000 a year, despite capital investments likely around the $900,000 mark. These people worked hard, paid their taxes and planned accordingly for their retirement.

True, I find it difficult to survive on $23,000 although I admit I probably didn’t work quite as hard, could never afford a business adviser and lived fast and loose at racetracks.

Thankfully, I’m partial to fish fingers from the supermarket, made in China. Cliff Ellen, Rye

Since the Franskton man’s lamented death there has been singularly unanimous public expression of opinion, both in the Press and otherwise, of his many virtues as Lieutenant Governor and as Chief Justice of Victoria.

Many tributes to his upright personal character have also appeared. It has been very fully recognised that in all his actions and in his many public utterances, he always was on the side of right, and that his loyalty in the present world’s crisis found expression in many fervid and stirring appeals.

It is only fitting that his many virtues should be recognised in an adequate manner by those amongst whom he had lived so long. *** INVALID soldiers to the number of about one hundred and sixty from the Base and Caulfield Hospital and Hyton Rest Home visited Tyabb on Sunday the 17th March.

The day was glorious, and everything went off without a hitch. A glance at the lavish dinner awaiting the men (before the attack) proved that Tyabb’s first attempt at entertaining soldiers was a great success.

The cars arrived well up to time and at 1 o’clock the men filed into the hall to satisfy their appetite. ***

THE Union Trustee Company of Australia Limited is applying for probate of the will of Nathaniel Pearce, sen., late of Pearcedale, orchardist and grazier, who died on 9th January last.

Testator by his will left estate valued at £3239 to his widow and children. *** The old established business in Bay Street, Frankston, known as “The Frankston Coach Factory” so long and successfully carried on by Mr Hugh Cameron, has changed hands, the old proprietor having been compelled through ill-health to give up the laborious life of a smith.

The business has been purchased by Messrs Brasher and Cunneen, who intend to carry on the business on the same lines as formerly, and hope to meet with the same generous support as that given to their predecessor. *** TENDERS will be received up to the 25th March, at 8 p.m., for the ERECTION of FIREBOX over Main Entrance in Vestibule.

Specification may be seen at Mr Dalman’s Boot Shop, Bay Street.

The lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted. *** NOTICE is hereby given that at a meeting of the Council of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings held at the Council Chambers, Somerville, on Thursday, the 7th day of March, 1918, the said Council did agree to the following resolutions, that is to say:— Regulating and restricting the erection

and construction of hoardings. Requiring the pulling down and removal of hoardings.

Authorising the Council to pull down and remove hoardings, erected or constructed contrary to any by-law of the Council or not pulled down or removed as required by or under any such By-Law, and to sell the materials and apply the proceeds in re-imbursing the expenses of pulling down and removing such hoardings and in paying into the Municipal Fund any penalties or fees due by the owner thereof. *** THE 23rd half yearly meeting of the Langwarrin Progress Association will be held in the vestry of the Methodist Church on Monday evening next, March 25th.

It is requested that all members will attend as important motions will be brought forward to extend scope and usefulness of this association. *** A MEETING of the committee of the 7th presentation to Frankston Volunteers was held at Mr Wheeler’s house on Tuesday, March 19th, at 8 p.m Present:—Councillor Oates, President of the shire, in the chair; Mr Wheeler, and Dr Plowman, Hon. Sec. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, and amongst other correspondence a letter was read from the late Sir John Madden, stating that it would have given him great pleasure to present the medals on the 7th occasion on which such presentations have been made in Frankston.

A motion of which Dr Plowman had given notice, was carried viz, to rescind all previous motions as to the 7th presentation being made a special function.

The organisers of the Red Cross concert, to be held on March 30th (Easter Saturday) have kindly consented to allow the presentations to be made during the interval of the concert, and it was resolved that the presentations be then made.

Dr Plowman was asked, and consented to present the medals, on the occasion.

The names of fourteen volunteers were approved as being qualified to receive medals. *** AT a special meeting of the committee of the Frankston Mechanics’ Institute, held on Tuesday last, it was decided to take steps to have the main hall of the building enlarged at a cost of something approaching £1000, and in order to meet this expenditure it is intended to issue 100 debentures at £10 each to the public at 6 per cent.

As the enlargement is very urgently required the committee intend to call for tenders for the work as soon as the debentures are taken up. *** ANOTHER party of returned soldiers were entertained at Frankston on Friday last by members of the Wattle Club.

The visitors who were mostly men from other states arrived by motor car, and as the day was beautifully fine the trip from Melbourne was greatly enjoyed.

20 March 2018

PENINSULA Grammar was pleased to announce its newest recruit into its Sporting program with the recent appointment of Sue Hawkins to the role of Head Coach of Netball.

Ms Hawkins is well qualified for the role and excited to join Peninsula Grammar’s elite coaching team. She is a member of the International Netball Federation Coaching Advisory Panel, holds Netball Australia High-Performance accreditation, presents for Netball Australia at their High-Performance accreditation course and is a proud member of the 1983 World champion team.

For Principal, Mr Stuart Johnston, the appointment clearly demonstrates Peninsula Grammar’s commitment to a first class sports program. “We know that the best coaches get the most out of their players and Ms Sue Hawkins’ career to date shows her dedication both professionally and personally to her team members drives them to excel.”

After coaching the New Zealand Tactix in the ANZ Championships for the past 3 years and England’s National Netball Team in previous years, Ms Hawkins has returned to Australia to work closer to home in the education sector, an area of great passion for her.

“I am teacher trained so am thrilled to be returning to school to work with the students at Peninsula Grammar,” she said.

Ms Hawkins is looking forward to applying her extensive coaching experience to Peninsula Grammar’s netball program. “My aim is to create a challenging, inclusive, professional high-performance program,” she explains. “One that will motivate players and staff to be better tomorrow than they were today. It is critical that this program has a balance between performance, recovery loading and fun.”

Peninsula Grammar’s Director of Sport, Ms Shona Middleton is extremely proud to have Ms

Hawkins on board. “Ms Hawkins will bring so much not just to our Netball program but our overall Sporting offer,” she said. “As a national netball champion and coaching expert she will be invaluable to our elite development coaching team. I know the staff and students are very much looking forward to working with her in the season ahead.”

Ms Hawkins is due to start preseason training shortly with the Peninsula Grammar netball teams as they prepare for the Winter season which kicks off in Term 2 as part of the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria competition.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The Mystery of the Phantom Hyundai

By Stuart McCullough THERE it was. Parked right outside our house. Parked right in the spot where I usually park. The sheer nerve.

It was if it was keeping watch. Occupying my preferred parking spot in the hope of breaking my will. I eyed it suspiciously. It’s strange how well you get to know your street, to the point that anything that appears unexpectedly is regarded not as a visitor but as an intruder. There was no doubt about it; the phantom Hyundai parked outside our house was starting to freak me out.

As is often the case, my wife knew more about it than I did. She was at home when the dog started to lose her mind and bark like crazy at whatever was happening outside. Turns out, quite a lot was happening just outside, all of it centering on the dirty white mystery Elantra. It seems that the police had appeared in our quiet little street and taken someone into custody, leaving their car behind. The way it was told to me, it sounded quite dramatic. In my own mind, I made it more so; with helicopters, swat teams and smoke bombs. Having heard the tale of the owner’s arrest, I began to suspect that he might not be returning any time soon.

The whole thing was kind of creepy.

The car looked a little beaten up and had no number plates and there was a bunch of weird looking equipment in the backseat. There were plastic pipes and bags of goodness knows what.

If were to take a guess, it looked like a portable still, good for producing moderate quantities of high quality moonshine from left over potatoes and

whatever else was lying around. I’ve seen ice cream trucks in our neighborhood, but a mobile booze unit would be something new. I doubt it’d play ‘Greensleeves’ as it arrived at the local park. Probably Cold Chisel.

Despite knowing that the likely owner was probably too busy ‘assisting police with their enquiries’ to worry about the fact he was in my spot, I did nothing for a time. I suppose that, as

I often do, I hoped that things would sort themselves out, thereby requiring me to do very little. Instead, the phantom Hyundai remained exactly where it’d been left. After a time, it started to feel as though it was watching me. Whenever I walked past, I felt as though its eyes followed me as I stepped, like those of a painting in a mystery movie. It was as though I was under surveillance.

Eventually, I’d had enough and finally screwed up the courage to do something I’d never done before – ring the local Council. As a general rule, I’m reluctant to complain. After a quick discussion with Google, I discovered that my local Council has a special phone number to call in the event that you want to report an abandoned vehicle. Perhaps, I thought, I could report the phantom Hyundai and retain my anonymity. Ideally, I would disguise my voice to protect my identity. I reasoned that if I made the phone call whilst sitting in semi-darkness and silhouetted against a plain wall with venetian blinds, then my voice would automatically be altered because that’s how it works on television. Alternatively, I would be happy to have my head pixilated, even more so than it usually is.

It was with trepidation that I dialed the number. Even though I was wearing dark glasses and an especially large hat, I was somewhat caught off guard when the person who answered wanted to know my name, contact number and my address. With my dreams of anonymity shattered, I became a total supergrass and divulged all within seconds. The person I was speaking to was very reassuring. Apparently, the lack of any number plates was of great assistance in terms of demonstrating that the vehicle had, in fact, been abandoned. I was told that they’d send someone out to inspect in a matter of hours.

Between hanging up and walking out the front door, a large yellow sticker had already appeared on the

windscreen of the Hyundai. I honestly don’t know how they got here so quickly. The sticker warned that if nothing changed within the next seven days, that the car would be towed.

There was nothing more to do but wait. And continue parking on the opposite side of the street.

Seven days came and went but the Council and the car did neither. It remained stubbornly in place as though part of some strange, silent protest.

Seven days became fourteen. I began to sense as though the Hyundai might have called the Council’s bluff. On day eighteen, the car was still outside our house but I noticed that our next-door neighbor’s car was missing, and I began to fear for his safety; suspecting a mix up of some sort may have occurred.

Then it was gone. Without fanfare and still without explanation, it vanished. I’m none the wiser as to where it came from and how it came to be parked outside our place, but I felt an enormous sense of calm following its departure. It’s funny how little it takes to disturb the equilibrium we so often take for granted. My car is, once again, parked outside my house. As for the phantom Hyundai, who knows? Perhaps its been reunited with its owner and they’re off selling moonshine. Or perhaps it’s been crushed and has now gone to the great big car park in the sky. Whatever the case, farewell to the creepy white phantom Hyundai. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,â&#x20AC;? Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing my patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â&#x20AC;?

Picture: Andrew Hurst

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully LANGWARRIN will play in the MPCA Provincial grand final after beating Mornington with ten wickets in hand in a dominant semi final performance.

Langwarrin openers Matt Prosser and Taylor Smith were both at the crease for the first ball and the final ball after both scoring an unbeaten 76 to see Langwarrin finish on 158, chasing Mornington’s 157.

Mornington won the toss and batted first.

Langwarrin’s Adam Campbell was a star with the ball, bowling 20 overs, nine maidens and snaring 4/37.

Matt Prosser wasn’t far behind also bowling 20 overs and picking up 5/49 with his leg spin. Trav Campbell was the other wicket taker with 1/29 off 16, at stumps Langwarrin were 0/7.

Mt Eliza was in a controlling position after the first day of play on Saturday against Peninsula Old Boys. Things didn’t change much on the second day with P.O.B bowled out for just 75.

Mt Eliza’s Chris Mc Donough snared 4/11 and Rob Maskel picked up 3/2 to hand the Mounties a more than comfortable victory.

After winning the toss the Mounties batted first and got away to a reasonable start before Tim Clarke was out for 22 with the score on 39.

The problem early on was Tim Clarke was one of only three Mt Eliza batsmen to score more than 20 runs.

Opening partner Josh Goudge scored 44 before being trapped in front by John Forrest. Goudge was the first of six wickets for Forrest. The Mounties needed someone to stand up with the bat and it came from skipper Justin Grant with 68 – an innings that could have won the match. The final five wickets fell for just 36 runs. The Mounties were bowled out after 78.2 overs for 173.

Sharks charge into grand final PENINSULA

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully FLINDERS will play in the MPCA Peninsula grand final after beating Moorooduc in the Peninsula Semi Final by six wickets.

Moorooduc won the toss and batted first but lost their first three wickets for just twelve runs. These wickets included Rashimal Mendis and the dangerous Madushanka Perera for a duck.

Shamith Kannangara steadied the Moorooduc ship with 43 and Nick Williams scored 41 at the bottom of the innings, but it only helped the Ducks to 161 in 79.5 overs.

Dwayne Field, Matt Burns and Neil Barfuss were all convincing with the ball for the Sharks, snaring two wickets each.

Unbelievably Flinders took just 37 overs on day two to grab the win.

Despite losing 2/21, Tom Clements with 53 and Blake Hogan-Keogh with 69, including thirteen boundaries, moved the scoreboard swiftly to 4/135. Shane Beggs and Barfuss took the score to 4/162 providing the Sharks with the six wicket win.

opening day of their match at Ditterich Reserve after scoring 225.

However, Main Ridge opener Michael Holmes smashed a six, which not only bought up his century, but won the game for his team.

Earlier, skipper Nick Jewell once again performed at the big dance scoring 101. Main Ridge went on to win the game and progress to the grand final.

Long Island won the toss and batted first.

Club legend Michael Burke top scored for the Islanders with 53 and skipper Aaron Paxton opened with 43 to lead the way for the Islanders.

Pubudu Edirisinghe chimed in with 30 and Brad Bailey hit 29 to help the Islanders to a very competitive total.

Luke Collins was superb with the ball for the Ridge, claiming 5/50 from 19 overs including five maidens.

Main Ridge was forced to face the final six overs of the day, however took it in their stride, scoring more than six runs an over to be 0/39 at stumps. Skipper Nick Jewell resumed on 23 and Michael Holmes 16.

Braves, Reds go down to the wire DISTRICT

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully BADEN Powell will play in the MPCA District grand final after a thrilling last over win against Mt Martha.

Baden Powell was shaken up after two players pulled out due to injury before the match. Things were made even worse when skipper Craig Entwistle injured a calf and was forced to bat with a runner, however, with one over to spare Baden Powell was able to pick up victory and advance to the grand final.

The Braves resumed day two on their home turf at 0/2 chasing Mt Martha’s first innings total of 155. The Reds needed to get away to a good start and they did so with an opening partnership of 47 before Ryan Godwin was out for 34. After the good start the Reds lost 3/17, putting them on the back foot until Brett Wilkinson hit 30, Simon Street 22 and a wag of the tail got the Reds to their 155 total.

Craig Entwistle lead the charge with the ball for the Braves with 4/45 off 20 overs, while Michael Ballard helped himself 2/26 off 14 overs.

Heatherhill will play in the 2017/18 MPCA District grand final after comfortably beating Seaford in the semi final.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Set 161 to win, Seaford was rolled for 120 after Jake Theobold ripped through their innings with six wickets. Chris Cleef top scored for Seaford with 55.

Heatherhill left themselves in the box seat to progress to the MPCA District grand final after a pretty good opening day.

At stumps on day one, Seaford were left with 120 runs required for victory with just six wickets in hand.

Despite the fact there was still some batting to come, the Hills did have

the support of scoreboard pressure after scoring 160. Heatherhill’s opening pair of Sam Mullavey and Steven O’Donnell scored just 33 with Mullavey outed for just eight. O’Donnell went on to make 52 and Kristian Miller hit 32 to provide the backbone of the Hills innings. Unfortunately for the Hills they lost their last seven wickets for 50 runs.

This was largely due to the bowling performance of Dale Christie who snared 5/44 from 14.5 overs for Seaford.

Dromana leaps into the grand final SUB-DISTRICT

By Mr & Mrs IT Gully DROMANA cruised into the MPCA Sub District grand final after thrashing Carrum Downs in the semi final

over the weekend.

The Hoppers smashed 254 before rolling Carrum Downs on the second day for just 118.

On the opening day on Saturday the Hoppers lost their first two wickets

for ten runs before Kierran Voelkl and Jack Fowler steadied the ship with 53 and 72 runs respectively. Jedd Savage then strolled to the crease and helped himself to 63 while Sam Fowler chimed in at the end with 34

to help the Hoppers to 254.

David Dervan was the pick of the Carrum Downs bowlers with 3/50.

Carrum will take on Dromana in the grand final after a two wicket victory over Tootgarook.

Batting second Carrum had an extra over to try and win the match, an over that proved to be handy given Tootgarook was bowled out for 132.

Carrum hit the winning runs eight wickets down.

Mornington, Strikers, Skye best hopes SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie THE State League season kicks off this weekend with Mornington, Peninsula Strikers and Skye United looming as serious promotion prospects.

Mornington and Strikers will underpin their promotion push with quality visa players while Skye has used the local market to bolster its senior squad.

Promotion for Mornington would mean a third State 1 South-East title in four seasons and would unlock the NPL door for Adam Jamieson’s men.

“If anything I was probably guilty of being overconfident last season so I’m a bit more wary this time but we know what’s ahead of us and what we have to do,” said Jamieson.

If Strikers succeed it will be the 12th promotion in 19 seasons for new head coach Andy O’Dell, who is bullish about the club’s prospects.

“I told Trevor (Johnston, club president) if you give me the job I want to win the league,” said O’Dell.

“I think it’s about time there was another team on the peninsula other than Langwarrin and Mornington.

“I know people don’t like hearing that and I’ve got my detractors but I don’t give a stuff mate in fact the more they have a go at me the better I like it.”

Two of O’Dell’s former clubs, Altona City and Sunshine George Cross, have tried to lure him back in the past few days but he has recommitted himself to the Strikers’ job.

Billy Armour has enjoyed success at Skye United since taking over midway through the 2015 season and avoiding relegation.

The following year Armour’s men clinched the State 4 South title and last year they fell at the final promotion hurdle losing their round 22 home clash with Brandon Park 2-0.

“I think we’ve very much strengthened the squad and added the experience of big Caleb (Nicholes), Cameron (Leopold) and Chris (Driver) and I’m hoping that we’ll be able to do better in the important games,” said Armour.

Skye defeated State 2 outfit Doncaster Rovers 3-2 in a friendly last Friday night at Anderson Park with goals from Nicholes (2) and Driver.

In Saturday’s NPL2 action Langwarrin defeated Murray United 2-0 at Lawton Park.

Late goals and blustery conditions were the main stories of the afternoon with Langy hitting the mark in the 87th and 91st minutes.

Andy McLean put in another excellent shift before being subbed late in the contest by Viktor Medini who within a minute pounced on a poor back pass only to be upended by Murray keeper Abdulkerim Koc. Langy strike ace Liam Baxter converted the resultant penalty with ease.

A few minutes later another Langy substitute was in the spotlight as Sergio Yanez broke forward quickly then played the ball to Baxter on the left of the area who slipped it inside for partner in crime Johnny Kuol to slot past the advancing Koc and complete the scoreline.

Langy won the under-20s game 2-1 with headed goals from Dylan Kilner

Main man: Daniel Mota in action for Seaford United. Picture John Punshon

and Sam Klepac and a second-half penalty save by Ben Caballero.

Big Josh Mulla came off the bench in the second half for his Langy swansong.

The 19-year-old is returning to an apprenticeship in his native Cairns and his old club Leichhardt Lions FC. In Sunday’s NPLW action Southern United lost 7-0 to Bulleen Lions at Monterey Reserve.

Southern’s under-12s lost 2-0, the under-14s won 2-1 with goals from Candy Kilderry and Rhys McKenna, the under-16s lost 2-1 and the under 19s lost 4-0.

Southern has added defender Lilli Gonzalez from Box Hill United to its senior squad and she is expected to make her debut against her old side in Sunday’s round 5 clash.

Under-16 coach Andrea Vignati resigned last week and Southern expects to name his replacement shortly.

In other news Frankston Pines won both of its recent friendlies against Seaford United and Casey Comets.

Pines beat Seaford 4-2 last Tuesday at Monterey Reserve with goals from Naseer Mohammed, Mitch Landers, Aaryn Rix and Munib Mohamed then knocked off Comets 3-1 at Comets Stadium on Saturday with goals from Ioasa Saemo (2) and Landers.

Seaford United beat Heatherton United 1-0 at North Seaford Reserve on Saturday with Matty Morris-Thomas settling the issue.

Baxter had a 5-2 win over Old Mentonians at Baxter Park on Saturday under the watchful gaze of recently appointed

assistant coach Mitchell Ball.

Davidson Alliieu (2), Matt Morgan (2) and Alan Lipsett scored for Baxter.

Somerville Eagles had a 2-0 win over Berwick Churches on Saturday with goals from Andy Yeo and Bjorn Kutschera.

Blind golfers tackle Australian titles MORE than 20 blind golfers from across Australia descended upon the Rosebud Country Club for the Victorian Blind Golf Championships and the ISPS HANDA Australian Blind Golf Open two weeks ago.

The golfers competed over two days for the Victorian Blind Golf Championships on Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 March before teeing off for the national title in the ISPS HANDA Australian Blind Golf Open on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 March.

Sydney’s Rod Mills was a standout in the men’s events as he led all the way in the Australian Blind Golf Open to secure the national title with rounds of 66 and 67. Mills’ stellar form was also on display in the days prior at the Victorian Blind Golf Championships where he finished second in the B3 division behind Queensland’s Brad Carver.

In the women’s race for the national title, Western Australia’s Jenny McCallum rattled home and did just

enough to claw back a four-shot deficit to finish locked with early-leader Michelle Watts, of New South Wales, on a nett total of 155.

“It was amazing watching the Blind Golf participants in action and displaying such positivity,” Rosebud Country Club general manager Danny McGrath said.

“We are very honoured to host such an inspiring event at our wonderful club.”

Breaking the trend: Balnarring Bowls Club midweek pennant team continued the club’s hot streak with their second premiership victory of the season.

Picture: Supplied

Balnarring Bowls back at the top BALNARRING Bowls Club has been successful after 35 years of chasing an elusive premiership title on Saturday 3 March defeating Rosebud in the final on neutral ground.

The first’s side made up of fifteen men and one woman, Maxine Stark, led all day and won by six at the Capel Sound Bowls Club, West Rosebud.

The victory promoted the club into Division One. Balnarring had plenty to cheer about having chased the premiership since 1985 when the club was just three years old. The skip of one rink, Shaun Haywood, declared after the victory that he wouldn’t be taking his medal off for “at least a week”.

The lone female and also ladies’ president, Maxine Stark, said: “I’m still pinching myself, and it is great to see how much this means to everyone.”

Balnarring then carried their winning form into the midweek Pennant grand final on Tuesday 6 March where they defeated Village Glen at Capel Sound Bowls Club and celebrated their most successful season since forming in 1982.

“I know that everyone in the team has really been very keen for a win and they have just been practising and practising,” club official Suzie Powell said.

“They went into the season with the attitude that ‘we are going to do it’.”

Noonan driven for success THIS racing season means more than usual for Mornington-bred jockey Jake Noonan as he aims to set a positive example for his newborn son, Isaac.

Noonan “is more driven than ever” to be at his best and will head into the feature Mornington Cup meeting with high hopes as he boards the Michael Meaghantrained Prussian Vixen in the $200,000 Listed Hareeba Stakes on Saturday 24 March.

Noonan said his whole outlook and perspective on life has completely changed since his son entered his world on Thursday 2 November and is hoping to be a positive role model for his fourmonth-old son.

“He has been a massive influence on my career at the moment,” Noonan said.

“You can have a bad day at the races but you don’t dwell on it and you come home and look forward to seeing your partner and son and enjoy that time with them.

“At the same time though it drives you to be better as you want to be a good role model and be achieving in your career. You want to be successful to set that positive vibe with the family that you can achieve anything.”

Noonan and Mornington-based trainer Michael Meaghan have enjoyed the successes of dual Group winning mare Prussian Vixen over the last two autumn racing carnivals and are hoping to ride the successful wave into the Hareeba Stakes.

“She looked good in the Hareeba last year when just beaten by a horse who was in really good form,” Noonan said.

“She never comes up in the spring – she doesn’t spell well and she seems to only thrive when the sun comes out.

“She always has a good summer and autumn prep which in a way is good as the races we are targeting are at this time of the year.”

Noonan was aboard Prussian Vixen in her Group Three Bellmaine Stakes victory on Saturday 10 February when she secured backto-back victories in the $150,000 sprint at Caulfield – a track which has offered Noonan a new lease on life.

Noonan hit a “flat spot” in his racing career a few years ago after making the transition from an apprentice rider to senior jockey but has been rising back through the Victorian jockey ranks and credits his resurgence to the support of Caulfield-based trainer Mick Price.

“I had a pretty successful apprenticeship and had good opportunities from day one but for anyone, it’s a pretty difficult transition to a senior rider,” he said.

“You need a good support stable which I probably lacked at the time.

I had dad by my side but I really needed someone else to help me book rides.

“I started doing some work at Caulfield for Henry Dwyer and Mick Price and Mick must have seen some ability in me and started

putting me on in the bush then eventually in town and then some black type races.

“He’s a successful trainer in his own right and there’s no doubt he’s been a major influence in my recent success.”

Noonan still rides the majority of trackwork for his father Tony and he said he is stoked that his father is in “hot form” at the moment.

“He’s always put in the in hard yards and it’s really starting to pay off,” Noonan said.

“Everyone at the stable gets good satisfaction when we get a winner and there’s a lot of positive energy at the moment which is feeding into the horses. The horses are really starting to run up to the potential that we thought they had.

“Starvasive might head to a race on Mornington Cup day and a few horses of dad’s that are running well at the moment might head there as well.”

In the meantime, Jake said he will be taking it “one step at a time” with his son now in the back of his mind and couldn’t thank his partner Mariah enough for taking care of their newborn.

“I’m lucky God has looked after me with a kid who sleeps about 10 hours every night but a lot of that is because of Mariah,” he said.

“She does a lot of the night shift in looking after him, she’s done a great job so far and our son is definitely a testament to her.”

What’s On

MAIN STREET MORNINGTON STYLE STAKES

Get your hair and makeup touched up before entering your very own photo shoot. Choose your favourite three images to be judged! Categories include Ladies, Lads, Squad, 35 and Over.

Arbonne International will be offering patrons free makeup touch-ups near the Style Stakes.

All the products are pure, safe and natural, free from any nasty chemicals, 100% Vegan and cruelty free. Make sure you check out the Arbonne marquee, get your makeup touched-up and go into the draw to WIN the pamper hamper!

PENINSULA HEALTH COMMUNITY PARTNER Staff from Frankston Hospital and Commonwealth Bank will be collecting funds throughout the day in support of the Peninsula Health Heart Service.

With heart disease, every minute saved or lost can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why it’s vital we have world-class heart services for everyone, right here on the Peninsula. Support the Frankston Hospital Heart Appeal today so more patients have access to lifesaving heart care, close to home.

WAKEFUL CLUB STRAPPERS PRIZE The Victorian Wakeful Club has established this Strapper’s Award at various metropolitan and country cup meetings. It recognises the work of some of the most important and unheralded people in the industry, and recognises and understands that the amount of work and effort that is required to get a Thoroughbred to the track starts long before race day. The main judging criteria is the presentation of the horse and then all things being equal the strapper’s appearance comes into account, especially the wearing of Work Safe approved footwear.

SILENT DISCO The Switch Silent Disco is a unique, fun, safe experience suitable for all ages.

Wow your friends with a sea of colours with our comfortable, wireless, LED headsets. Our headsets give you access to three different genres of music at the flick of a Switch. We pride ourselves on providing a quality service with everything you need to create, capture and execute an event your family and friends will remember for years to come. With no worry of sound restrictions or noise complaints, Silent Disco is perfect for all occasions. We’d love to host a Silent Disco at your next event or function. Enquire now to find out how.

TRANSPORT There will be 2 buses from Frankston Train Station to the Racecourse, Bus 1 leaves at 10.30am and Bus 2 leaves at 11.15am. The return buses will be leaving from the front of the Racecourse at 5.30pm and 6:20pm. Bus times are subject to change if draft race times change.

Taxis and Uber will be running from the members’ carpark for all guests.
