Familiar faces in classroom FIVE sets of twins will make remembering names difficult for Prep teachers at St Macartan’s Parish Primary School in Mornington.

Three sets of identical twins, one mixed set and two non-identical twins are among 75 preppies starting at the Bungower Rd school this year.

For one set of twins, Anneliese and Tahlia Jolly, the first day of school reunited them with three other siblings: Olivia in Year 2, Lachlan in Year 4 and Daniel in Year 6 – the first time five children from the one family have attended St Macartan’s at the one time.

This is a pleasant surprise for principal Marie Slattery. “No staff presently at the school can remember this happening before,� she said. “The twins and their parents are extremely excited: the long wait is now over. “We wish all the children starting school this year a happy and productive year: a good first year at school lasts a lifetime.�

Survey into market’s future Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON’S Main St traders are being asked their views on the “iconic�

Wednesday market.

A survey is being sent out this week to 400 traders by Mornington Chamber of Commerce, and Mornington Peninsula Shire to assess the market’s impacts and economic benefits on Main St.

The survey asks if the market is fulfilling its role of attracting shoppers and visitors to the town, if its stalls compete too rigorously with established shops, if it creates a desirable atmosphere, where it should be located, whether customers who don’t come to Main St on a Wednesday because of the market would come another day, and whether car parking is being adversely affected.

It also asks traders if they are aware that, if the market was no longer in Mornington, “there is a high likelihood that another town, such as Mt Eliza, Mt Martha or Sorrento, would introduce a Wednesday market�.

It reminds traders they are free to use footpath space in front of their shops for their own outdoor trading.

Few doubt the market has been a success since it opened in September 1979

and it is credited with reviving trade in the sleepy strip from the days when some traders closed on Wednesday afternoons through lack of business.

It attracts visitors to the town, is credited with lifting shops’ sales figures and has helped create an “arty crafty� atmosphere. It has also generated income for the chamber and allowed it to promote the town and its features.

edly – was that all goods should be homemade or homegrown.

But now, a small group of traders is questioning the market’s relevance and the “myth� that market days are established traders’ best sales days.

To push for change, Annie Zaicz, of Zen Living, and Sue Calcott, of Pomme, have written to the chamber to “express our feelings� about market days.

Nursing service cuts staff Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au STAFF cuts at the Royal District Nursing Service’s Frankston and Rosebud offices will not affect patients, according to the service’s management.

The organisation says there will be “no change to patient-care”.

The offices are being replaced by mobile care teams equipped with laptops to make house calls.

Administrative functions at the existing 14 suburban offices will be consolidated into four regional hubs – with the closest to Frankston and the peninsula being Moorabbin.

The RDNS office in Beach St, Frankston, will close in April.

No decision has been made regarding the continuation of the Cairns St, Rosebud, office “at this stage”.

The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation expects the Rosebud office to lose six nurses as well as two administrative and one domestic staffer. It says six G3 nursing positions will be downgraded to G2.

It is not known how many staff will be affected at the Frankston office.

The RDNS insists no “front line” nursing positions will be cut, although “a number” of management, consultant, coordinator and administrative positions will not be required.

“Staff in these roles will have the opportunity to apply for newly created roles,” a spokesperson said.

“Where redundancy is unavoidable, people will receive packages and access to personal and career counselling.”

Boat seized A STOLEN speed boat valued at $107,000 has been recovered by Mornington police. Detective Harry Simpson seized the Malibu Wakesetter 2014, pictured with Detective Sergeant Peter Drake, in mid-January after it went missing from premises in Braeside last June.

The boat’s identifying features had been removed and it was being stored at a boatyard where staff were unaware it had been stolen.

A 41-year-old Burwood man was interviewed on 13 January. He will be summonsed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court. Picture: Yanni

Under threat: The Rosebud and Frankston offices of the Royal District Nursing Service. Picture: Yanni

The organisation expects to cut around 80 positions overall. It is Australia’s oldest and largest home nursing and healthcare services organisation and has been operating on the peninsula since the mid-1970s.

Victorian general manager Fiona Hearn said the changes would “deliver better back-up to front-line nurses and improved services to clients”.

“The rationale is that the RDNS operating structure has essentially been unchanged for more than 30 years.

For example, the current structure pre-

dates even fax machines, and dates from a time when nurses had to drive into an office to receive a paper client list and schedule.

“Now, all of that can be delivered instantly via tablet computer, meaning time once spent on driving can now be spent providing patient care.”

About 200 Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation members met on Thursday to discuss the changes.

They say 150 employees across the metropolitan area, including many highly-skilled nurses, will be forced to

compete for new, and in some cases, lesser positions.

Federation acting state secretary Paul Gilbert said members “have serious concerns about the proposals - if they are to proceed in their current form – especially as regards critical patient-care issues”.

“These have been identified and need to be addressed,” he said.

The nurses’ federation and the RDNS will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) to negotiate aspects of the revamp.

Tragedy lays foundation for change Rosie Batty uses new role to campaign against domestic violence Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au NEW Australian of the year Rosie Batty has vowed to use her award in her continuing fight against domestic violence.

The 52-year-old mother of slain son Luke received the honour from the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, at Parliament House, Canberra, last Sunday week.

The tragedy for Ms Batty is that events leading up to her award began on that fateful day in February last year when 11-year-old Luke was murdered by his father at Tyabb oval.

Since then her tireless campaign for family safety – and her eloquence in championing its cause - has made national headlines.

It has given new focus to statistics she read out showing that one in three women has experienced physical or sexual abuse by a current or former partner – “including some of those celebrating with us today” – and one in four children. She said at least one woman a week was killed and that indigenous women experience even greater family violence.

Mr Abbott said Ms Batty “inspired all of us to be better Australians”.

“Australia honours you and we thank you for your courage, achievement and determination,” Mr Abbott said.

Ms Batty has called for stronger political leadership to change the awful statistics and drive money into services to help women and children living in fear.

Her pleas have had success, with Victorian premier Daniel Andrews honouring an election promise to call a royal commission into family violence.

Her drive also prompted former Police Commissioner Ken Lay to quote the “Rosie Batty factor” as being the catalyst for a community rethink on the non-acceptance of family violence – in any form.

In her acceptance speech, Ms Batty said she would use her time as Australian of the Year to continue her work highlighting the scourge of family violence - and would not be content to wait patiently for change.

“I am truly honoured and I would like to dedicate this award to my beautiful son Luke. He’s the reason that I found my voice and I’m able to

be heard,” she said.

“While we celebrate the wonderful country that we live in today, there remains a serious epidemic across our nation.

“No matter where you live, family violence exists in every pocket of every neighbourhood.

“It does not discriminate and it is across all sections of our society.

“Family violence may happen behind closed doors, but it needs to be brought out from these shadows and into broad daylight.

“These statistics are unacceptable, indisputable, and if they did happen on our streets, there would be a public outcry.

“To our government, we need your strong leadership to change these rising statistics and your investment into both preventing the violence and providing long-term, secure funding to our specialist women’s services to deliver the intensive support so desperately needed.

“And to the Australian people, look around. Do not ignore what you see and what you know is wrong.

“Call out sexist attitudes and speak up when violence against women is trivialised.

“To men, we need you to challenge each other and become part of the solution. Raise the conversation and don’t shy away from this uncomfortable topic. We cannot do this without you.

“To the women and children who are unsafe, in hiding, or living in fear, who have changed their names, left their extended families, and moved from their communities to find safety.

You do not deserve to live a life that is dictated by violence. You are not to blame.

“Violence towards anyone: man, woman or child, is never acceptable, and never the right choice. It is simply not ok.

“As the Australian of the Year, I am committed to building greater campaigns, to educate and challenge community attitudes.

“I am on a path to expose family violence and to ensure that victims receive the respect, support and safety that they deserve.

“And to Luke, my ‘little man’, you did not die in vain, and will not be forgotten.

“You are beside me on this journey, and with me every step of the way.”

Well known peninsula personality (and Great grandfather just last month), George Mead can now get out on the Port Phillip Bay foreshore trails at 89 years of age.

According to the Mornington Peninsula’s Shire’s ‘Practical Guide to your Mobility Scooter’: “Scooters can provide a renewed sense of independence for people who for many reasons (ie. disability or illness) are unable to perform every day activities such as going shopping, going out for the day or going for a walk with the children or grandchildren.� “Scooter users can travel in their local community and visit friends without having to rely on a car or public transport�.

George is one of many such peninsula residents - independent, social and having fun thanks to his scooter.

It’s this capacity to improve lifestyle that attracted Cam Donnelly to Port Phillip Mowers and Scooters, a longstanding Rosebud-based business he took over in July.

Cam bought the business with a genuine desire to help broaden opportunities for older and disabled peninsula residents regain independence “by ensuring they get the best advice and best mobility vehicle to suit their situation�.

With a background as a medical professional, Cam’s greatest satisfaction from nearly 20 years in healthcare now underpins the mowers and scooters business values: “helping people smile again�. “These vehicles are key in attaining or regaining independence for locals who struggle with their mobility. Even if they can still drive, a scooter takes the hassle out of short hops: because getting in and out of the car and parking can become a real chore, especially during the height of summer.�

Port Phillip Mowers and Scooter has many models of mobility vehicles under three main categories for different needs: - Portable, including the Monarch Buzz and the world renowned Luggie which folds up to no bigger than a suit

“These vehicles are key in attaining or regaining independence‌â€? case and can be taken on planes, both scooters easily fold/ disassemble to pack in a cars and trains. These smaller scooters are predominantly for in-house use within nursing homes, shopping centres and shorter range travel, being both manoeuvrable and compact.

- Medium scooters - the most popular size scooter - Included on the market� according to Cam. Affordably priced and built for stable, reliable and worry free driving and can travel up to 45 kilometres on one charge.

- Large Scooters for those looking for more comfort and luxury and perhaps a big dose of fun like George who’s Sportrider has a sleek, sporty look and motor-bike features like full digital display, speedometer/odometer, powerful front and rear lighting kit.

Sportrider is great for those, like George, who need medical assistance from what is a medical product - but have great fun along the way,� said Cam. No matter what your budget Port Phillip Mowers and Scooters will have a product to suit your needs.

There are many questions the Scooter guide recommends asking Port Phillip Mowers and Scooters on your visit, which the expert and friendly staff will be more than happy to ensure that all of your questions and requirements are met to your satisfaction.�

Importantly, Port Phillip Mowers and Scooters will provide you with a test drive - particularly important if you’re unsure about any terrain or incline performance in your local driveways, footpaths or neighbourhood.

The team will also provide training - expert staff will show you over every function and capability of the scooter, key features including charge times - on-site servicing, emergency pick-up and delivery.

Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston City Council both have scooter Recharge Schemes for mobility scooter and electric wheelchair users - a list of charge points and more information about the schemes can be found at Port Phillip Mowers and Scooters or one the council websites.

Port Phillip Mowers has been providing quality sales, service and repairs on the Peninsula since 1989 covering all items of garden equipment including lawn mowers, ride-on mowers, chainsaws and all outdoor accessories with a pick up and delivery service Peninsula-wide. They have quality service technicians who have all the parts, all the equipment and all the skills and that means fast turnaround and quality results. “We’ve got the best mechanics this side of the black stump,�

Cam said.

Get out ’n’ about again! ‌and happier back on your own wheels At Port Philip Mowers and Scooters, customer service is our priority. You can be sure to always receive professional, reliable and honest advice from a team of dedicated professionals that know and care.

Subtle changes kick off year

By David Harrison Council meeting at Besgrove St, Rosebud, 12 August, 7pm. Small gallery crowd; tea, coffee and biscuits provided.

THERE were a few new faces among the usual gallery veterans at 2015’s first council meeting on 27 January. Three of the faces were there to ask questions about the RACV proposal to build a five-storey addition to its Cape Schanck resort.

Five storeys! Thirty metres!

Council Watch visualised such a monster rearing up out of the flat Cape Schanck landscape beside Boneo Rd. Cape Schanck resident Phil Gledhill asked if all councillors had “fully informed themselves” of the impact the building would have on the landscape “such as bulk, height, 24/7 noise, light emission, reflection and overshadowing”.

The proposal would be “four times higher than any other structure permitted on the resort”, the question concluded. Three more questions sought further details of the project.

To summarise the shire response from sustainable environment director (planning manager) Steve Chapple, council could ask the RACV to consider a less prominent building, but this would likely mean one with a larger “footprint” to cater for planned accommodation and facilities.

Such planning proposals are a dilemma for the shire. Some heavyweight applicants appear to believe it’s the shire’s job to facilitate, rather than adjudicate, when presented with a corporate plan. And there’s always VCAT to take a friendly look at a

rejected development, as many on the peninsula know to their financial and neighbourhood cost.

But enough of trying times to come.

We met at the Rosebud shire offices like kids back at school after holidays, eager to take a long look at the new “head” person, chief executive Carl Cowie.

He introduced a new meeting procedure, reading all the questions in a calm, confident voice with a Scottish burr, then calling on the relevant officer to respond. He spoke deliberately and clearly, which CW took to mean he regards Question Time as an important opportunity for the community and council to “interface”.

Note CW’s mastery of buzzwords “footprint” and “interface”. In a few months you will struggle to have the faintest idea what this column is on about. CW is awaiting the opportunity to trot out “at the end of the day”.

Moving on from questions, a Letter Under Seal was presented to Roy Francis of Mornington, recently awarded an international honour for his work with prostate cancer sufferers and their families – the first Australian to receive the honour.

The Edward C Kaps Hope award, from the Us International Prostate Cancer Education & Support Network, is made to people who have shown “unselfish, dedicated service” to affected people.

Mr Francis presides over the prostate support group at Bentons Square in Mornington, Cr Anne Shaw told the gallery the group has been “a huge success” and congratulated Helen Francis for her devoted support of her husband.

But we sense a reading audience impatient to know more about Mr Cowie, the man who will make a serious impact on our lives for at least the next four years.

It came in his confident but (to CW) modest style in presenting his first Report to the Community, usually monthly but this month covering November and December. Mr Cowie started work on 1 December.

We would, he said, notice a document “slightly different to what’s gone previously”, with his first report about half the size of the October 2014 report. “Hopefully you’ll see we’re trying to streamline things” with a summary, he said.

He gave a précis of his activities; the opening of the Civic Reserve recreation centre; a Police Point, Portsea, twilight event for respite care; and the Buckley’s Rest facility, Safety Beach.

“Initially when I started, I thought, ̔This is really great – I’m involved in opening things every week’. And then of course early into January we had bushfires affecting the peninsula and also many tornados, so we flicked into operational mode to try to ensure things recovered as soon as possible.”

Mr Cowie said he would continue to “evolve” the monthly report to meet community needs for “meaningful and transparent” information. The veterans in the gallery smiled and nodded. We were off to a good start.

Uber’s night moves hurt taxi drivers Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au

Anger: Taxi drivers are not so happy about Uber’s arrival in Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. Picture source: Instagram

outraged successive state governments and regulators have failed to step in and stop the uberX service operating in Victoria.

“Uber is unaccredited, unlicenced and uninsured and they pay no tax,” she said.

“They’re snubbing their noses at our laws. It costs my husband $140 a day to keep a taxi on the road… what are they [Uber] paying?”

Mrs Spanos said uberX drivers do not have ABN numbers or submit business activity statements.

“I can’t understand why every taxpayer in Australia isn’t outraged by this.”

Some Uber drivers have been fined $1700 when caught by transport

inspectors but Uber is reportedly paying drivers’ fines.

Peninsula based taxi driver Mickey, who did not want his full name published, said Uber “is taking a lot of work from us”.

“It’s illegal and they can’t deny that.”

Mickey said customers are often unaware uberX is illegal.

“We can’t stop the passengers… the drivers need to be educated and realise they can be charged.

“The enforcement is not happening from the government.”

He said “there has been a huge dropoff in business” since Uber launched across Frankston and the peninsula.

Younger people regard Uber as “hip”, according to Mickey.

He expressed frustration that regulators are not clamping down on Uber’s business.

“They don’t care what happens to the taxi industry and taxi drivers.”

When contacted by The News, the Taxi Services Commission said it will not comment while legal action, brought by the TSC against Uber, is before Australian courts.

Mickey said “the TSC needs to understand it exists if taxis are on the road. The TSC does not exist if there are no taxis on the road”.

He suggested confiscating Uber drivers’ cars to “inconvenience them” since the company is apparently paying any fines.

Uber has not replied to questions

by The News about its Frankston and peninsula operations.

Mrs Spanos condemned suggestions Uber can be regulated.

“You can’t legislate private cars… if someone has an accident [in an Uber car] who is going to pay for it?

“I have children… I don’t want my children to get into one of those Uber cars because you don’t know who’s driving it… what about police checks?”

Uber has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Its uberBLACK service is a legitimate private hire car business but its uberX offering is unregulated.

“Why are they not being raided?”

Mrs Spanos asked.

“I’d like their offices stormed and closed down and every one of those drivers held accountable because they know they’re breaking the law.”

GRAFFITI vandals have added to the workload of Rosebud community support volunteers.

The dedicated group has the task of cleaning the walls of the Scout hall on the foreshore near the carnival, and at Leon Ave disability support services.

Rosebud police sergeant Leanne Evans said the extra time, effort and money could best be allocated elsewhere.

She said vandalism was doubly galling as the Scout hall was repainted recently by parents, with materials and equipment donated by local businesses.

Anyone with information can call Rosebud police on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The shire’s graffiti reporting line is for damage to shire property only.

Contractors aim to remove it “as quickly as possible” after it is reported or within five working days.

Priority is given to graffiti considered offensive when removal will be arranged within one working day.

SE LA LL ST IN UN G IT NO S W

NIGHT-TIME taxis patronage across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula has dived after the launch of Uber’s ridesharing service in late December, according to frustrated cabbies.

US based Uber, backed by corporate goliaths including Google and investment bank Goldman Sachs, is operating its uberX service illegally in Victoria (‘Uber’s arrival challenges taxi operators’, The News 20/1/15).

Taxi owners and drivers are angry that the state government and regulators seem unwilling to act to stamp out the unregulated ridesharing service.

Several have told The News young people in the 18-30 age bracket in particular are shunning taxis and using Uber’s smartphone app to book car journeys after leaving pubs and clubs.

The uberX app enables passengers to book car rides with drivers who have listed their details and vehicle with the service. No cash changes hands.

Passengers make an online payment and Uber takes a 20 per cent commission then pays the difference to drivers.

Uber’s “dynamic pricing model” means fares fluctuate based on demand.

The drivers do not have to pass any tests to list their details with Uber. After each paid journey drivers and passengers can publicly rate each other’s performance via the smartphone app.

Street market survey follows traders concerns Continued from Page 1 “We asked for the market to be reassessed: for stalls duplicating what is sold in any shop on Main St to be closed, for trading hours to be shortened, for market days to occur only on Wednesdays and – best of all – for the market to be relocated to a venue like Mornington Park, just as the farmers’ market has been,” Ms Calcott said.

“This would immediately address the problem of parking and remove the obstacle of foot traffic that is marketfocused, and make parking and accessing the shops easier for other shoppers.

“We love that Main St has a rich and colourful history, but the picture today is dramatically and excitingly different. Let’s embrace it and give people cause to enjoy Mornington for many reasons, and not dwell on what was the drawcard 10, 20 or 30 years ago.”

An underlying cause of concern is that permanent traders are paying high rents and employing staff to create a bustling shopping precinct, while $50 stallholders reap the rewards at key times.

Chamber president Judy Edwards said there was “no general push” to change the Wednesday market’s longstanding business model. “I am sure most traders favour the market as it is,” she said.

“It is only a handful who, perhaps, want to see some changes.”

Ms Edwards said she was “very confident” the market was fulfilling traders’ expectations, and that the survey results would verify this view.

Chamber marketing manager Kim Rowe described the market as “iconic”. She said the survey – to go out

yesterday (Monday) – would help generate a “well-rounded perspective” of the market, and that any remodelling would be “a slow and steady process”.

“There will be no snap decisions,” she said. “Our role is to ensure the traders receive the benefits of the market and the survey will help identify them.”

Main St market manager Jeni Doherty acknowledged that some traders “have concerns” about market days,

cated market shoppers.

Also, the “enormous range of stylish, handmade, locally designed and Australian-focused works available in shops up and down Main St” meant the strip already catered for what was once the province of the market stalls.

“The older-style shops have been updated, redesigned and offer almost everything that Melbourne shoppers can expect to find in some of the most creative retail hubs, such as Elwood, Hawksburn, High St Armadale, and

but said that “as a tourist attraction it brings lots of people to the town”.

Ms Calcott said extended trading hours and additional markets on key trading days – like Saturdays in December and street festival days “regardless of when they fall, even Christmas Eve itself” were undermining permanent traders’ sales.

She said other markets all over the peninsula each weekend meant there was no shortage of market opportunities, either for stallholders or for dedi-

Northcote/Fitzroy,” she said.

“In keeping with the younger demographic now living in Mornington, Mt Martha and Mt Eliza, the shops, cafes and recently opened wine bars all reflect the times and, sadly, this does not include what is on offer at the Wednesday market – nor do they need the lure of the market to attract shoppers and visitors to Mornington.

“Almost any retailer on Main St will concur that Wednesdays are busy with foot traffic but not with shoppers.

They are generally older folk, day trippers out for a day to get some bits and bobs from the market and to enjoy lunch or a coffee.

“The real shortage of parking space is exacerbated on market days to the extent that regular shoppers say they keep away on Wednesdays unless they really have to come in.

“On Christmas Eve this was absolutely disastrous for shops that were all set up with extra staff only to find that the pavements were clogged with stalls and shopping trolleys. The true, hard-core shoppers, who are often men on Christmas Eve, were unable to get close to the street until later in the day.”

Ms Calcott said men needed “very little to be dissuaded from shopping at the best of times” and that Christmas Eve overcrowding “was a real issue for many of us”.

Shire’s ‘top’ citizens PARAMEDIC Tim Nolan was named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Citizen of the Year on Monday.

He received the award in recognition of his efforts with the Teenage Road Accident Group towards educating young people about road trauma and its effects on the community.

Mr Nolan believes the delivery of his road safety and road trauma message is vitally important – especially for young people.

For 12 years, he has volunteered to present to local secondary schools thought-provoking programs about road trauma and the effects it has - not only on the individual - but also on their families and friends.

His significant contributions and achievements include working for more than 20 years with Ambulance Service Victoria.

He has been a driving instructor for the service, and is currently a serving Victoria Ambulance paramedic based at Rosebud.

Young Citizen of the Year Sarah Berry, of Mt Eliza, has been acknowledged for her contribution to community, and her contribution to communities in Cambodia which receive books through her Books 4 Cambodia project.

After learning that not all children there had access to books, Ms Berry began her project when she was only 10 years old.

She wrote more than 100 letters to schools, learning centres and removalist companies in Australia for help.

Through her determination, hard work and help from friends and family ‘Books 4 Cambodia’ has donated more than 33,000 children’s books, text books and university texts to schools and orphanages.

Ms Berry and her family travelled to Cambodia visiting schools and orphanages where her books had been sent. She was a guest of honour at a special reception held by the governor there where she was presented with ‘thank you’ gifts.

She was invited to speak at the reception which was also televised nationally.

Mornington Yacht Club’s 2014 International Optimist Sailing Championships has been named Event of the Year. More than 340 young people 9-15 competed in January last year.

Mayor Bev Colomb said the awards recognised the efforts of people and groups who make outstanding contributions to our community.

“As in previous years, our award winners are people who have made a real difference within our community,” she said.

She said the shire received “high calibre nominations” from across the peninsula, and congratulated all nominees on their nomination.

“I sincerely thank our award winners and all of the nominees who put so much of their own time and effort into making the peninsula the place we love to call home, and who put on fantastic events to make the peninsula such a great place to visit. Well done.”

Naturally interested PENINSULA Field Naturalists Club has been going strong in Frankston for 60 years, and members are looking forward to their next meeting at 8pm, Wednesday 11 February, Uniting Church Hall, 16 High St Frankston.

A member will be speaking on Alaska – its geology and wildlife. Visitors are welcome.

The general interest group of amateurs are interested in all aspects of the natural environment, such as birds, plants, fungi, insects, reptiles, geology, fauna and many other subjects.

The club meets on the second Wednesday of each month and hears from speakers on a range of subjects, as well as local environmental news, upcoming events, and other matters of interest.

Visitors and new members are welcome. They should call Ms Smart on 97754231 or visit peninsulafieldnaturalists.org.au

History sinks PEOPLE interested in learning about the “sunken history” of Port Phillip will enjoy a talk at Sorrento Museum at 8pm on Friday 6 February.

Mark Ryan of Southern Ocean Exploration will talk about Project Long Shot, the search for the first shot fired in the First World War. Gunners from Point Nepean are credited with the shot that stopped a German freighter leaving The Heads only hours after war was declared in Europe.

The museum is on the corner of Melbourne and Ocean Beach roads.

Details: Nepean Historical Society president Joy Kitch, 5984 0255.

Life saving grants EIGHT peninsula life saving clubs will each receive $25,000 from a federal government beach safety equipment fund.

Clubs at Dromana, Gunnamatta, Mt Martha, Portsea, Point Leo, Rosebud, McCrae and Sorrento will use the cash for lifesaving and first-aid equipment such as inflatable rescue boats and boards, defibrillators and oxygen resuscitators.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said a beach drowning black spot reduction program would help educate the public about coastal hazards and reduce drowning at dangerous beaches.

“Lifesavers do a terrific job in our community and have kept our beaches and coastline safe for more than 100 years. They provide a vital community service that is very much appreciated and valued,” he said.

“Last year, lifesavers performed 12,000 rescues and provided 32,000 first aid treatments to beachgoers in Australia.”

Business expert going Sky high MARKETING expert Jacki Mitchell took over Radio Port Phillip’s Taking Care of Business program about 18 months ago and made her national television debut last Tuesday on Sky News.

RPP FM’s manager Brendon Telfer says he’s not surprised Ms Mitchell and her show have been picked up by Sky News: “Jacki is an award-winning brand, marketing and business strategist with an incredible CV. She’s a natural on radio and I can see why TV would want her,” he said.

Ms Mitchell will appear on Sky’s Small Business program every month, with her next appearance on Tuesday 24 February between 2-3pm.

Her show on the peninsula’s community radio station is every Friday from 11am-midday.

Ms Mitchell moved to the peninsula in what she describes as a “love change” rather than a seachange after meeting her partner at the Sorrento Hotel several years ago.

“It was easier for me to move to the peninsula as my partner is a builder,” she said.

She knows the peninsula well after spending many summer holidays with her extended family o cousins and aunts at holiday homes between Mt Martha and Portsea.

The couple own holiday rental Limoncello in Sorrento. “It’s named after an Italian liqueur made in Sorento, Italy,” she said.

Ms Mitchell started her own business – Brandstorm Marketing – 14 years ago after working for companies such as Toyota, Australia Post, Spotless

Services, CitiPower, Yarra Valley Water, and Tennis Australia (her first job after gaining a Bachelor of Arts and Social Science at university – she helped organise the Legends of Davis Cup event for the 1988 bicentenary).

On RPP, Ms Mitchell covers a wide range of business topics including social media, patents, trademarks, staffing, banking, and change management. Recent shows have focused on a particular industry – construction last Friday and travel the week before.

$2000 Shopping Spree at Minzenmay Jewellers

Sky News contacted Ms Mitchell late last year and she made her debut in a 10-minute segment last Tuesday.

“I talked about tips for business success, including the impact of social media, safety nets for small businesses, and mentoring,” she said.

“My job is to inspire and challenge people with small businesses or those planning to start one.”

The Mitchell name is well known to Essendon Football Club supporters: her dad Hugh Mitchell is in the Essendon Hall of Fame.

The double premiership player and 1959 club best and fairest played 238 games for the Bombers including under legendary coaches John Coleman and Dick Reynolds as well as with Coleman during his spectacular playing days.  Taking Care of Business is broadcast every Friday at 11am on RPP FM 98.7.

Doctor founded and led popular choir OBITUARY

a Gothic Revival wooden house with a distinctive tower built in 1880 for Justice George Henry Webb.

Originally known as Frontage House, the property on Beleura Hill was about eight and a half acres (3.5ha) with panoramic views of Mornington harbour and Port Phillip.

The property was purchased by the Sisters of Mercy in Mornington in 1899 and used as a junior boys boarding house for Padua House Preparatory School. Padua is now a housing development and the senior

school moved to Oakbank Rd with the junior school on Bungower Rd. In 1951 the property was subdivided into 34 lots and sold, with the mansion and its block bought by Likely Herman “Like” McBrien, OBE, for £3750.

In the early 1960s, the Johnstons held a musical evening at Southdean, which lead to the formation of a choir, the Southdean Singers, conducted

by Dr Johnston. Members included Graham and Dorothy Carter, Moira and Philip Robinson, Helen Beggs, Joan Collings, Doreen and Peter

Norman, Jim and Peggy Stanhope, Paul Offor, Margaret McArthur, Ian Paine, Ray Williams, Adrienne Bouzaid, Marge McKenzie and Tom Hast.

The choir presented a Christmas concert every year in the Methodist Church hall with proceeds going to charity, and performed at other events.

Tom Hast in his 1979 book Alive and well and living in Mornington records that children of choir members performed a bracket of carols as part of the concert, the youngsters entering the darkened hall carrying candles.

“At the end of the concert, Dr Charles Hopkins, friend and colleague of the conductor, usually organised a surprise. One year the Southdean Singers finished with the Boar’s Head Carol, upon which Dr Hopkins with a retinue of chefs and serving girls whisked in with a pig’s head on a large platter,” he wrote.

“Stewart Johnston would end the evening after making one of his incredibly funny speeches, which one had to really listen to to catch all the clever wit.”

The singers competed successfully in the Mornington Eisteddfod for many years and performed a Christmas concert at St James the Less in Mt Eliza on Christmas Day 1965, which was televised by the ABC. Philip Robinson said that “apart from medicine, Stewart’s great interest and

government has committed in recent years, leaving local government to pick up the pieces.

The danger I foresee in mandatorily curbing rates (by far the most significant revenue base any council has) is that it will force local councils to look inward and commit potentially drastic cuts in staff and services. While operational efficiency is not a bad thing by any stretch, the capping of rates could lead to an environment where there is less value for rates as a result of substandard service delivery which would therefore render this whole exercise effectively worthless.

The government also needs to ensure that under this new scheme it is not piggybacking on council rates and burying its own revenue catchments within them as we have seen over the past five years in the form of multiple state levies embedded in council rates.

It is admirable that the government is encouraging local councils to rely on revenue streams other than rates.

However, it needs to ensure it does not commit overreach and deprive local

councils of even more autonomy. As it is, local government is practically a hand puppet for the two other tiers of government in Australia.

Following a dash to the council offices we were told by the appropriate council officer that notification of vegetation removal and demolition of the existing dwelling were not a requisite and that we would be contacted regarding the proposed development.

Dr Stewart Clark Johnston 16 May 1925 – 21 January 2015 GP, choir leader, community volunteer FORMER Mornington doctor Stewart Johnston has died at age 89 in an aged care facility in Geelong.

Dr Johnston entered General Practice in Mornington in 1957 when there were just four other GPs in Mornington.

He served as the Shire of Mornington’s medical officer from 1983 to 1991 as well as on many area committees. He volunteered for more than 30 years as a doctor with St John Ambulance.

He was one of several doctors in the town’s first medical clinic near Mornington Bush Nursing Hospital (now The Bays) on Main Street, formed after the concept of doctors practising from their homes lost popularity.

Started by Dr Andrew Taylor, medicos to work at the clinic also included Charles Hopkins, Ken Chatfield (who was killed in a road accident on the way to a patient), Bill Sewell, Geoffrey Wicks, David Hawkins, Darryl Wise, Charles Arter, Derek Moore and O K Chan.

Dr Johnston and his wife Bronwen raised a family of two daughters and a son in one of the town’s 19th century homes, Southdean on Frontage Way,

love was choral music. His choir gave a great deal of pleasure to many with annual Christmas and other concerts from 1960 until 1993”.

Now world renowned flutist Anne Norman, daughter of Doreen and Peter Norman, joined the choir for its 1992 concert.

After 35 years in Mornington, the Johnstons moved to Melbourne, where Stewart practised as a locum GP. The couple retired to Point Lonsdale in 2003.

Mr Robinson said the final concert presented by the choir was aboard the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry, on the way to Queenscliff, in December 2007.

“Many former choristers who remember Stewart with great affection still live in and around Mornington and have been very sad to hear of his passing.”

A tribute notice published last week read: “Much loved and loving husband of Bronwen. Dearly loved father and father-in-law of Mary and Boyd; Janet and Peter; Will and Amanda. Beloved grandfather of Jessie, Annie and Gordon; Bernie and Lachie; Jack and George.”

Dr Johnston’s funeral was held at Queenscliff Uniting Church last Friday. In lieu of flowers, donations were made to Red Cross Australia.

we were also informed that it was not under council jurisdiction.

Next day, to our dismay, demolition was under way and the bottom limbs had been lopped from the tree. Phone calls to Heritage Victoria and our local state MP’s office revealed that vegetation protection was indeed council's responsibility.

A spokeswoman for the MP phoned me back to say she had left a message to speak to the council officer and was waiting on a return call, which it seemed never came. It was Friday after all.

Some weeks previously asbestos had been removed from the old dwelling without alerting neighbouring residents.

Meanwhile, that beautiful pine, an integral part of the area's character and favourite roosting place for many birds, will be wiped out.

"Committed to a sustainable peninsula"? Yeah right.

LETTERS Rates cap divides I have mixed views on the new state government’s proposition to contain municipal rates.

On one hand it will lead to much needed relief for Frankston residents doing it hard. Yet, on the other hand, it is not a healthy situation where another level of government effectively dictates, on a universal scale, what local governments are and unable to do.

I am in two minds because I do not believe that this proposal by the state government has been thought through with diligence. If the aim of this new initiative was to truly ease the financial squeeze on residents and business owners then, instead of capping municipal rates, the government should instead be looking at ways to provide additional financial assistance to local councils.

This would create a natural precedence for council to lower rates without the proposed artificial mechanism.

It would also be a reparative move given the amount of cost shifting the

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Donations required for boy’s home Compiled by Melissa Walsh THE friends of Mr G. Griffith, of Somerville, will be pleased to learn that he is so far recovered from a severe attack of bronchitis that he is able to return home, after being in a hospital in Melbourne for a fortnight. *** A VERY enjoyable evening was arranged by two very young ladies, Miss Doreen Dove, and Miss Sydney Levine, at Frankston House, on Wednesday evening, January 27th, in aid of the Patriotic Fund. This example could be followed by others. A splendid programme was given, including songs, party songs, recitations and dances.

These young ladies are to be congratulated on the success of their evening, and the total amount received, 5s 3d, was handed over to the secretary of the Frankston Patriotic Fund. *** WE are pleased to see that Mr C. McKenzie was successful in winning the 4½ furlong Novelty Pony race with his new purchase, Myradale at the last Nyora Race Meeting.

Mr McKenzie complains of the treatment he received from the railway Department on the occasion of taking his horses to those races. He booked and paid for the conveyance of two horses from Cranbourne to Nyora, and when he arrived there with the horses he was told there was only room for one.

Besides the inconvenience and expense incurred by Mr McKenzie, he was told when he asked for a refund of the money for the box he had paid for but did not get, that he would have to make application at the head office for

a refund, thus entailing further loss of time and expense. *** PASSENGERS by the evening train from Stony Point to Melbourne, on Monday, had a very unpleasant and tiresome experience on that part of the journey between Stony Point and Frankston.

Shortly after leaving Stony Point it was found that the water in the boiler of the engine had given out, and it was only at a very slow rate of progress that the train made its weary way as far as Tyabb, where the already full load of passengers was further augmented by those who had journeyed to the Tyabb sports and were returning.

A start was made from that station nearly an hour behind time and the engine made violent exertions to get to the next station (Somerville) but after several stoppages and starts again it finally stopped about half a mile from the township and all the efforts of the engine driver to get further along were unavailing, so he drew the fire and the passengers had patiently to wait by the wayside till a fresh engine was procured.

After waiting for about an hour, they were gladdened by the sound of an approaching engine and the cry ‘all aboard’ was given, and a fresh start was made.

All trouble was not over yet, for on arrival at the Junction, it was found that the engine that had brought them this far had to proceed with a train to Mornington, and another long wait was perforce made at that place, till another engine was procured from somewhere, and a start was again

made for Frankston, which place was reached without further mishap at ten minutes after 8 o’clock, or nearly three hours after time. *** BOY’S HOME, FRANKSTON. The Matron of the Boy’s Home would be thankful for any new or left-off clothing for the boys, as they are very much in need of school clothes. Mrs Dean has kindly consented to receive any parcels. Trusting to meet with favorable results. Yours etc. THE MATRON. *** WEDDING BELLS. A very pretty wedding was celebrated in the Methodist Church, Somerville, between Mr George Richardson, of Melbourne, and Miss Alison Thornell, daughter of Mrs E. Thornell and the late Thomas Thornell of the Federal Nurseries.

The Rev. Jackson, assisted by Rev. H. Wallace, affirmed the ceremony.

The church had been beautifully decorated by Mrs A. Thornell for the occasion. The bride’s dress was of white crepe de chene, corsage of shadow lace, court train, falling from the shoulders, lined with shell pink, and finished with true lover’s knot of white satin ribbon, usual bridal veil of net and point lace, worked by the bride’s aunt, Mrs Westaway, of Bendigo, shower bouquet, with streamers of white satin ribbon.

The train bearers, a niece and nephew of the bride, Stella Thornell and Thomas Ryan, Stella, in a white hand embroidered silk frock, and carrying a pale pink crepe de chene muff, while the nephew was in a white satin suit, hat to match.

The bridesmaids were Miss L. Thornell (sister of bride), who wore a shell pink crepe de chene costume, relieved with white shadow lace, over net, shower bouquet of pale pink roses and carnations, with pale pink satin streamers, and Miss Francis Petrie, who was gowned in shell pink crepe de chene, bodice of shadow lace.

Mrs Thornell, the bride’s mother, wore black crepe de chene and shadow lace, hat of black silk straw, lace feather and posies.

The bride’s travelling dress was a navy blue silk tailor made costume, oriental trimmings, black silk hat with white feathered wreath. A large number of presents were made, including cheques to a very substantial amount. *** ECHOES From Egypt. Head Quarters, 2nd Infantry Brigade Mena Camp, Cairo Egypt, 2nd January, 1915.

To the Frankston Billiard Club Boys. Just a few lines to let you know what things are like in Egypt. We have a splendid camp here about ten miles out of Cairo. Electric trams run out from the city which takes an hour at a cost of 2 piastres (5d) first class and 1 piastre (2½) second class.

The famous pyramids and sphinx are about five minutes walk from where we are camped. These were supposed to have been built about 2000 years ago, the time when Pharaoh was King.

It is said that he was buried in one of the many tombs inside the Pyramids.

Nearly all work here is done with camels, mules, and donkeys. They are as common here as horses are in Australia.

We are allowed leave to go to Cairo every 5 days from 3pm to 11pm which we take advantage of.

The city is much larger than Melbourne and is also very quaint.

Nearly all the males wear skirts or gowns the same as the females, and the married women wear a peculiar affair on their nose, and also have a veil over their faces so that only their eyes can been seen.

There are not many English people here – mostly Egyptians, French, and Greek.

I was in town last night and had a game of billiards at Shephard’s Hotel, the first game since leaving the Club.

Well boys taking things, on the whole I am well satisfied with my new trade. We were told that we will be marching off to France and Germany about the end of February. The boys all wish to be remembered to you and although late, wish you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Sir George Reid was out here the other day watching the troops march past. My word it was a splendid sight.

Well I think this is about all I can say this time except that we all hope to be back again about next Xmas, so will close now hoping it finds you all quite well as it leaves us here at present, from your old pals, per HARRY COVINGTON. P.S.– Wally Fisher wishes to be remembered to his Frankston friends.

Private Harry Covington and Bert Robert write to say they would like to receive letters from their friends in Frankston.

8. Be careful of off-the-shelf foot products including mass produced orthotics, innersoles and arch supports. Only devices prescribed by an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist should be used to ensure they are correct, effective and safe.

9. If you’ve been advised you require surgery or medications for any foot, knee or leg concerns, get a second opinion. Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments most surgery can be avoided and there is now significant proof that anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone injections can delay healing and/or cause further damage. There are better, safer, natural alternatives available to assist pain, injury and degenerative concerns.

If you have foot and leg pain, injuries or degenerative concerns you can get expert advice form the experienced Musculoskeletal Podiatrists’ at Foot + Leg Pain Clinics in Mt Eliza, Cheltenham or Rye. Call 1300 328 300. Mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultations.

Anne’s Curves story

NEW YEAR

BROOKE E

WITH the holidays behind us it’s a good time to ensure your feet and legs are in good shape to tackle the year ahead. Our feet are one of our bodies most complex and relied upon structures, yet they’re often the most neglected. We asked the experts at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics for some tips to help keep you on your feet in 2015: 1. Always get foot and leg pain or soreness checked by an experienced Sports or Musculoskeletal Podiatrist. Simple soreness can be a symptom of more serious underlying issues and a podiatrist who specialises in Musculoskeletal issues has the appropriate and specific expertise.

2. Evaluate your footwear. Summer footwear such as thongs and slips-ons can be stressful to the feet, if worn too long. Choose shoes that are comfortable with straps or laces that hold to the feet, and have decent cushioning and support, especially for prolonged activity.

3. Choose activity/sport appropriate shoes for sport & recreational activities.

4. Don’t rely on technological advances in footwear to treat pain & discomfort or decrease risk of injury. Proper advice and treatment from an appropriate podiatrist is the best way to prevent and treat problems.

5. Women should opt for lower heels whenever possible. If you have to wear high heels try a wedge heel for more support/stability, also look for shoe straps with a bit of substance for extra support.

6. Don’t buy shoes that require a “break-in period”.

Shoes should be comfortable immediately.

7. Shop for footwear at the end of the day to accommodate for normal swelling. Feet can swell by up to 10% during the course of a day.

MY journey at Curves officially started on 13 November 2012, when I joined Curves Mornington. I have battled with being overweight most of my life and although I had previously lost weight I had gradually regained it and more.

It was time to ask for help and get serious.

I follow the Curves Complete Program; which I highly recommend. I attend my weekly coaching sessions, work out 4 times a week and walk 10,000 steps a day.

My big challenge was travelling around Australia for 7 months but thanks to my Curves Membership I was able to attend other Curves Clubs whilst travelling and my weekly coaching sessions with Curves Mornington were via email. I lost 9.6kg while away proving it can work when you’re on holidays.

I reached my Goal Weight on 17th December 2013. I have gone from Size 18/20 to size 10 and have lost 31.60kg and 185cm.

Joining Curves has been the best decision I have made in a long time. I feel so much better - I previously suffered severe and constant pain. Now, I feel great! I have reduced my bust size “Without Surgery” and I can feel the relief from my back, neck and shoulders because of

AFTER

it. My knees feel much better and I can now run with the Grandchildren and Dance all night with them at my son’s Wedding, to which I wore a new outfit and felt great!

This is the new me! I am still the same person but I feel so much better and now have heaps more energy.

I am definitely a Curves Girl and this has been life changing. All the girls at Curves Mornington are friendly and encouraging and we are stronger together. I especially want to express my thanks to Judy and Barry - I love you both!

You have been my “Rocks”. I am proud of my Curves Membership and tell all my friends about it! My Curves journey has been amazing!

By working out at Curves Mornington and following the Curves Complete maintenance plan Anne has now maintained her weight loss for over 12 months. We are so proud of you Anne!

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Notes from the age of unreason

By Stuart McCullough ONCE upon a time, there was a thing called ‘reasonable’. It occupied the large, gaping space between two diametrically opposed extremes. Reasonable was fair, it was balanced and it was loved, if not by all, then by a health majority. We used to like reasonable. In fact, we came to depend on it. But then, like a pair of flared trousers, it suddenly went out of fashion. It is no longer possible to appeal to reason. Each of us is an island, our opinions are sacrosanct and we are not for moving. Our intellectual dominion will not be assailed by inconveniences such as facts, figures or the laws of physics. I am right despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Things have gone too far. I realise it’s not possible to unscramble a genie back into a bottle but we owe it to each other to try. The first step to being reasonable is to try and keep things in perspective. And with that and my tongue both firmly in mind as well as my cheek, I have a few things to say.

Advice that, I feel, will help you avoid letting the age of unreason drive your crazy. To live a better life; one full of evidence and reason and goodwill to others, I strongly recommend that you avoid the following: Listening to Talkback radio. If it is taken at all, it should not be taken seriously. That’s because taking talkback radio seriously is something best left to professionals, such as talkback radio hosts. The rest of us should consider it a work of parody. Talkback radio is a fact-free universe generally occu-

pied by people who failed at their chosen profession and through the process of elimination have ended up hosting talkback. No one wants to be a shock jock when they grow up. No one. It’s better than allowing them to roam the streets, I suppose, but only barely.

Calling Talkback Radio. John Lydon once claimed that ‘anger is an energy’. It’s also a way to fill otherwise dead air for three hours on a Thursday morning. Those who ring up or text a radio station for any reason other than to request they give the new single by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard a spin are rarely happy and are bursting to tell the world how unhappy they are. The trouble is, you’ve got to be

outraged enough to want to pick up the phone.

This week, I accidentally came across talkback radio and, frankly, I am yet to recover. The presenter – of no fixed qualification – was unimpeachably certain. The callers too were full of conviction, or at least they were until the moment the presenter disagreed with them and they backed down with a speed that can only be described as ‘breathtaking’. I had no idea such people even existed.

Lobby groups – of any variety.

Everyone’s entitled to their point of view. But here’s a suggestion: when someone announces an enquiry or investigation, why not wait until it’s

completed before you denounce it.

Granted, rejecting the outcomes of an enquiry that hasn’t yet started is efficient, but it’s putting the cart before the Pandora’s worm.

Lobby groups deserve a special mention here. Whether they represent business or unions, industry or the environment; these are organisations whose job it is to be blinkered.

At the merest whiff of something that might not be wholly in their interests, their job is to make it sound as if the apocalypse is coming. Their unique gift for making everything sound catastrophically berserk is one of the key disincentives to anyone trying to be reasonable.

Press conferences. Not everything requires you to flick the idiot switch.

Ideally, there’s still a place for being calm and measured. However, being calm and measured doesn’t make for much of a sound bite.

As a result, public figures are engaged in a bizarre arms race in which they deploy unhinged hyperbole in a bid to attract attention. Ironically, this is all meant to help them ‘cut through’ with a message which then drowns in a sea of mixed metaphors and general silliness.

The Internet. On the one hand, the Internet is inherently democratic and is a symbol of freedom and integrity.

But more than just an information superhighway it’s also something of a wonderland for nitwits.

Ever read on-line comments? They are a haven for the perpetually disgruntled. These poor souls live their

lives never knowing the pleasure that comes from being happy or satisfied.

They are never gruntled. Always disgruntled.

Opinion. The Internet is where the virtual lynch mobs of the 21st Century reside.

Whereas once crackpots would stand on upturned milk crates in a discrete corner of your local park and spout their poisonous drivel, these people now all have jobs as media commentators and their own websites.

The demand for talking heads – folks who can talk without pausing for breath while spewing out any old garbage – has never been greater.

Perhaps, for a time, it’s worth putting stock in no one’s opinion but your own.

This article is, of course, just a matter of opinion. It contains nothing in the way of facts and is riddled with broad assertions that are beyond proof.

It’s more of a lament.

Perhaps these things go in waves.

Maybe some day in the not too distant future, things will circle back and people will respect a more measured and reasoned approach to public debate.

Where it won’t be a competition to be even more obnoxious than the person you just interrupted.

As for me, I plan to avoid talkback radio, lobby groups, the Internet and opinion pieces for the foreseeable future because I’m sure that if I do I’ll feel better about myself and the world at large. And that is as good a reason as any. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

James continues his reign at Between the bays Returning to Between the Bays for the fifth time, old favorite James Reyne will grace audiences with his presence again with a repertoire from his 30 year career.

“We will be playing a good cross section of music from my Australian Crawl stuff to solo songs, right across the whole spectrum,” says James, who has been involved with the festival since its inception 10 years ago.

“I first became involved as my daughter was going to the school.

When Paul and Vivienne came up with the idea for Between the Bays to raise money, they asked me to perform. I was just like any one of the parents there,” he says. “The people who run it are lovely and they run it very well. It’s a great day out for the family, with lots of stuff for the kids to do, great food and wine as well.”

With James’ notoriety for all

things charitable, and having just received an OAM for his charity work, there is a synchronicity to the performer’s involvement, with the money raised going to the Wugulaar School in Katherine.

“I don’t really have a lot to do with the cause but I know it is a terrific one and Penbank school do a great job with the music festival,” says James.

With a career spanning three decades, first with Australian Crawl and then his solo career, James still has no idea where he gets his inspiration from.

“I really don’t know. I just write the songs and get inspiration from where I always have,” he says.

For James, 2015 looks promising with a new band and new album

by The Magnificent Few, the first album to be a new EP of songs.

The band features James on lead vocals, Phil Cebrano and Brett

Kingman on guitar, Andy McIvor on bass, and John Watson on drums.

Now in its 10th year, Between the Bays is firmly established as Mornington Peninsula’s best, annual music festival on the summer calendar - a day not to be missed. Over the last decade, Between the Bays has offered music lovers a festival option that is safe and entertaining for everyone, is inexpensive and has an all-inclusive community feel.

This year, along with James Reyne, artists will include Mark Seymour, Custard, Wagons, Sweet Jean, Combo La Revelcion, Indigenous Hip Hop Projects and The Billabong Boys.

Between the Bays is on Saturday February 28, 2015 at Penbank School, Rickards Road, Moorooduc. Tickets are on sale now via www.betweenthebays.com

the rolling stones that gather no moss

ROLLING Stones tribute band, Jaggers Banquet, played to their biggest crowd to date at last month’s Waterfront Festival, when they performed to 2500 people.

The band, which started in 2005, saw a niche in the marketplace with no other Rolling Stones tributes acts in Melbourne, and it has already been quite a ride.

Lead singer, Brad Coppens, says the show originally started as a non-look-alike concept based around the music but has developed into a more colourful performance.

“It is now a high energy Mick Jagger 70’s style show, and we play off the record or

P R E S E N T E D

recorded live version, doing sets in character,” says Brad. “We don’t go for a full look alike but a definite feel with the same dance moves and mannerisms as the Rolling Stones front man.”

“We were the headline act at the Waterfront Festival and played from 8pm till 9.45pm. The crowd response was amazing.

It’s the biggest crowd we’ve played to and yes I was a bit nervous as the time came to go on stage, but the adrenalin kicked in and we cranked out Jumping Jack Flash as our first song,” he says.

Jaggers Banquet band members include

lead guitarist, Adrian Chynoweth of ex Nick Barker and the Reptiles fame, who reformed in 2012 for a series of gigs, and has been in the band since day one.

Drummer Darren McCarthy joined early days and now manages the band.

“Dave Miles is our regular rhythm guitarist and vocalist, however Jeff Weiner played the Frankston gig and has filled in many times for us and adds a distinctive Mick Taylor sound to the performance with his skill and Gibson SG guitar,” says Brad. “Ian Smith plays bass, and we had Tony Bonnici play acoustic guitar and backup vocals to make sure we had a

full sound for the huge crowd.”

For Jaggers Banquet, it was the longest set they’ve played in Frankston, and one the guys all agree will be memorable.

“The festival was basically 100 minutes of hit songs which kept the crowd dancing right up to the fireworks at 9.45pm. We hope to be invited to play next year as it was a lot of fun,” says Brad.

scoreboard Doggies on the verge PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON’S quest to push into the MPCA Provincial cricket top four was dealt a boost on Saturday when it left the field after the first day with the upper hand against Baxter.

In a must win game for the Dogs, they lost the toss and bowled first against the competition’s ladder leader and sent them packing after 67 overs.

Luke Popov was at his vintage best for the visitors, bowling 18 overs and finishing with eight maidens and a super performance of 5/26.

Sam Buchanan was brought into the attack late in the day and did the job for his skipper Matt Foon, snaring 3/27 from eight overs.

James Eadie, who has spent most of the season in the seconds, was a saviour for Baxter, top scoring with 42 batting at seven.

Skipper Daniel Warwick made 19 and Chamika Sattambi made a welcome 20 as the last man in. There weren’t a lot of batting performances outside of those to crow about.

Baxter was eventually dismissed for 151, which is a defendable total at Baxter Park.

Mornington was very cautious in the final 13 overs of the day, going at just over one an over and finishing the day on 0/14.

Whilst Mornington is lurking, fourth-placed Long Island is in a strong position against second-placed Sorrento.

The Islanders would be well aware that the Doggies are breathing down their neck, however, they continue to hold them at bay.

On Saturday, Long Island batted first at home in Peter ‘Potto’ Conell’s 400th game.

Whilst ‘Potto’ opened with 39, the little master Scott Phillips was at it again, top scoring with an unbeaten 73 while Andrew Tweddle was still out there with him at the end with an unbeaten 33.

Long Island gave themselves every opportunity to keep their winning streak, making 7/271.

AJ King was the pick of the Sorras’ bowlers with 3/66 while Chris King claimed 2/65.

Langwarrin refuses to go away, making 7/274 against Moorooduc.

Matt Prosser batted at three and top scored with 66, while Andy Johnson made a dominant 51 before being run out. Skipper Mark Cooper opened with 48.

Ross Cordeaux was the best of the Ducs’ bowlers with 3/90.

Peninsula Old Boys are in some early trouble against Rye, however, are only chasing down 140 for victory.

The Old Boys bowled first on their

home deck and rolled the Demons for 139. Beau Suffern top scored for Rye with 42.

Leigh Lambert then got his side away to a solid start with the ball, picking up two wickets to have the Old Boys 2/34 at stumps.

Crib Point will be looking for an outright against Heatherhill.

Mathematically still a chance to play finals, the Magpies batted first and declared their innings at 7/202. Luke Herrington top scored with 71, Chris Richmond made 49 and Ricky Thompson 29.

At stumps, the Hills were 4/98 with Herrington and Glenn Barclay both taking two wickets.

Mt Eliza is in the box seat against Pines.

The Mounties batted first at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday, however, were bowled out in the 79th over for 186.

Jason Mathers top scored with an unbeaten 59, while Jake Prosser was the best performed bowler for the Piners with 5/28. Brett Remy claimed 3/18.

Pines was forced to face the last over of the day and lost opener Jeremy Weare for a blob. Pines will resume this week at 1/0.

Facing the bowler: Mt Martha has set Seaford Tigers a 228 target for victory in their District match.

Picture: Andrew Hurst

Tight at the top with six in the finals mix DISTRICT

By IT Gully GOING into the third last round of MPCA District cricket, there are six teams all vying for a place in the finals.

Top of the table Red Hill is assured its place, however, the race is well and truly on for the teams looking to occupy the final three placings.

Whilst Somerville, Carrum and Mt Martha hold spots in the top bracket, Seaford and Main Ridge are waiting for any wrong move so they can swoop.

And going on the results of the first day’s play of Round Nine, there is plenty of opportunities opening up.

Red Hill hasn’t put a foot wrong

this season, currently undefeated.

This reign appears to be coming to a close though in this match.

On Saturday against Main Ridge, the home side was bowled out for just 122.

At one stage they were 8/87.

Riley Shaw opened with 32 and was the team’s top scorer whilst Nick Esipoff contributed 30 batting at 10.

James Abbott was superb for Main Ridge with 5/25 from 12.3 overs.

Scott Millar also had the radar going with 4/64 from 25 overs.

In reply, Main Ridge faced the last 22 overs of the day and finished at 2/76.

Brad Rossborough is not out on 32.

Second and third placed Somerville and Carrum are going toe to

Sudoku and crossword solutions

toe and it was a disastrous day one for the batsmen.

There were 13 wickets to fall on the opening day, Carrum losing all of theirs for just 121, while Somerville was 3/17 at stumps.

Liam Dobson top scored with 27 for the Lions, while Jackson Fry did the damage with the ball with 2/8.

Fourth-placed Mt Martha has set Seaford Tigers a task to reach 228 for victory.

The Reds batted first on Saturday at Belvedere Park and made 6/227.

Aidan Pateman top scored for the Reds with 60, opening the batting, giving him 312 runs for the season.

Matthew Pollock was also solid with the bat for Mt Martha with 47.

Tom Burgdorf was the pick of the

Tigers’ bowlers with 3/56 from 26 overs.

Ryan McQueen hit a season-high 120 for Seaford in its match against Delacombe Park.

Nick Simpendorfer was also amongst the runs with 48, helping the visitors to 9/274.

Ben Brittain, Evan Campbell and Nick Christides all snared two wickets.

The Parkers will need to perform at their best with the bat to get out of this one.

The fifth-placed Seaford must win to keep their finals hopes alive.

Carey Sawosz was at his brilliant best again on Saturday for Hastings, picking up 5/42 against Flinders.

Luke Hewitt also bowled well, tak-

ing 3/57, however, despite their efforts with the ball, it didn’t prevent Flinders getting to 193.

Andrew Power top scored for the Sharks with 48, Shane Beggs scored 35 and Tim Clarke 30.

Boneo and Baden Powell are also locked in a bottom of the ladder tussle.

Boneo batted first on Saturday and made 155, Ryan Jellie top scoring with 46.

The Braves’ bowlers were good, Brendan Jovic bowling 21 overs and claiming 4/54.

Sean Wilson was sensational, bowling eight maidens in his 17.1 overs and finished with the impressive figures of 4/18.

Saints can’t handle the heat in top four push SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALNARRING went from chocolates to boiled lollies in MPCA Sub District cricket on Saturday.

After recording an outright victory in their last match and again putting themselves into finals contention, they failed with the bat on Saturday when placed under some real fire.

Rosebud is looking to cement its place in the top four and even push for a place in the top two, a position it has held for the most of the season.

The Buds hosted the Saints on Saturday, turned up the heat on the visitors and they wilted under the pressure.

It’s one thing to bully a lower side and get an outright, however, you have to be able to step up to the plate when the pressure is on.

Other than old stager Pete Mereszko with 26, no other Balnarring batsman gave the scorers any trouble.

Billy Quigley was the pick of the Rosebud bowlers with 4/37, helping his side roll the Saints for 116.

In reply, the Buds are 1/16.

Frankston YCW only made 123 against Ballam Park on Saturday, however, it find itelf in an outright position.

Currently 12 points outside of the four in sixth place, the Stonecats could leap frog Balnarring is they can pull off an outright in this match.

The Knights batted first on Saturday and were bowled out for just 58.

Andrew Kitson took 6/21 and Paul Bradley 3/21.

Frankston YCW was then bowled out for 123, still a lead of 65. Ryan O’Connor snared 6/29 for the Knights.

In their second innings, the Knights slumped to 4/34, still 31 behind with six wickets in hand. Kitson has nine wickets for the match after picking up 3/18 in the second dig.

Third placed Carrum Downs is in some strife against top of the ladder Pearcedale.

The Cougars batted first on Saturday and were rolled for 105. Shayne Gillings was at his best for the Panthers with 6/40.

In reply, Pearcedale is 1/40.

Tootgarook is in a commanding position against Dromana.

Batting first at Pier St Reserve, the Frogs smacked 9/315. Openers Rob French (94) and Luke Thompson (66) recorded an opening stand of 173 for the visitors.

Skipper Gerard Clarke then contributed 43 to help the Frogs past 300.

Zac Klan was the pick of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 4/125 from 29 overs.

Tyabb was on fire with the bat again on Saturday, hitting 8/299 against Skye.

The Yabbies were in some strife at 2/24, however Brodie Bennett and Jarrod White got things back on track.

Bennett smashed 123 and White played the supporting role, although he still did manage an unbeaten 105.

Paul Fillipone and Rohan Simpson each claimed two wickets for Skye.

Top performer: Aidan Pateman top scored for Mt Martha with 60 against Seaford Tigers in Saturday’s District match.

MAZDA 3 DEMO RUNOUT!

The Honda HR-V 20 MAZDA ZDA CX CX-55 RUNOUT has landed $

HONDA’S highly-anticipated, all-new HR-V has arrived at Peninsula Honda.

“The all-new HR-V is a very important model,” said Peninsula Honda’s General Sales Manager, Ben Edmonds. “The HR-V will be positioned below the CR-V and complement our SUV line-up by offering versatility and practicality along with new safety technology, loads of features and of course a sporty, dynamic drive. We know consumers want more choice and we will offer that choice in the all-new HRV, right into one of Australia’s fastest growing segments.”

Built on the new Jazz platform, the HR-V will be powered by a 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine, delivering 105 kilowatts and 172 Newton metres of torque. Fuel economy will range between 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres (combined urban/ extra urban) and 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres (combined urban/extra urban).

The HR-V’s unique exterior design features sharp, dynamic lines that link the sleek upper body with the stable and planted lower body.

This sporty exterior does not compromise the HR-V’s spacious interior, which features Honda’s unique Magic Seats that are also found in the Jazz and Civic hatch range. The Magic

Seats enable a wide range of configurations – 18 in fact – along with the ability to fold the second row seats completely flat for added cargo space, fitting almost any lifestyle and life-stage.

The all-new HR-V will also feature new safety technology – and a first for Honda – called CityBrake Active. City-Brake Active works at low speed and can assist the driver when a vehicle in front stops suddenly, using a sensor located in the rearview mirror. The system provides an audible warning and can also apply braking.

Honda’s advanced touch screen Display Audio system is also a feature of the all-new HR-V. Found in the Odyssey, City and Jazz, the system includes voice-activated Bluetooth capability (Apple and Android) and audio streaming, meaning you never have to take your eyes off the road to stay connected.

“With a starting price of $27,990 on road, the HR-V is incredible value,” said Mr Edmonds.

“We are confident this vehicle will be well placed to battle it out in this highly competitive segment.”

To test drive the Honda HR-V, visit Peninsula Honda at 907 Nepean Highway, Mornington or call them on (03) 5975 9755.
