Shire CEO takes his leave David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will have a new person in the top administrator’s job in a fortnight, following councillors’ decision not to reappoint Dr Michael Kennedy. Councillors are likely to appoint an acting CEO until the new one is chosen. A shire news release stated Dr Kennedy will leave his job on Friday 14

November after serving the shire for 15 years. His contract expires in February. Some 109 applicants are believed to have applied for the shire’s top job. This was whittled to a shortlist of 30, according to reliable sources, then to a final list of 12. Dr Kennedy’s name was not among the 12. Councillors had until 9 November to tell Dr Kennedy if he was to be reappointed. The news that he would not retain the post appeared on the shire web-

site about 11am Thursday 30 October. “Michael has made a significant and long-lasting contribution to both the organisation and the broader community of the Mornington Peninsula during his tenure and leaves us very well placed to ensure that the opportunities and challenges of the future are continually met,” the mayor Cr Antonella Celi stated in the official release. Councillors told Dr Kennedy on 11 August that they had decided to ad-

vertise his job after what is believed to have been a long and at times bitter meeting during which his support among councillors dwindled to about three or four. Their decision on Monday last week not to reappoint him was welcomed in some sections of the community. Many said Dr Kennedy had been in the job too long and had become less effective in the latter years of his tenure of the $350,000 position.

A spokesman for the Nepean Ratepayers Association said his group welcomed the prospect of a new CEO. “Dr Kennedy has been in the job for too long,” he said. “A bad attitude had developed in the shire workforce.” The Tyabb & District Ratepayers Group issued a statement that the decision to seek the best available new talent to take the helm of the shire was “very welcome, if long overdue”.

Historic ‘Green Gables’ draws interest AN historic Mt Martha property once owned by the family of a federal government minister is up for sale, with expressions of interest closing next Monday. ‘Green Gables’, on the Esplanade above South Beach, near Dominion Rd, is being offered through Abode real estate. The 1927 house on 3478 square metres is protected under the council’s Heritage Overlay HO50*. Its expected sale price will be more than $3.5 million. Agent Sam Danckert said the 30 square landmark had five bedrooms, two bathrooms and two car spaces. He said the property was being sold for the first time

since 1978 and only the fifth time in its history. It has architecturally significant gables, balconies, mature gardens, and oriel and diamond pane casement windows offering bay views. The property is being sold by the Wilson family, who moved to Mt Martha after holidaying there for many years. The previous owners were the Fairbairn family, which included Sir David Fairbairn, a former long serving federal government cabinet minister. His uncle, James Fairbairn, was one of three ministers in the Menzies government killed in a 1940 Canberra air disaster.

Sir David was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross in 1945 and made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1977. From 1977 to 1980 he was Australia's Ambassador to the Netherlands. He died in Canberra in 1994, leaving a wife, Ruth and three daughters. Agents in conjunction are Kay & Burton. * HO50 controls require that a planning permit would be required for any alterations to the house, trees, or the grounds. A ruling would be made on how any proposed alterations meet the objectives of the overlay (for example, on character and significance grounds). Stephen Taylor

JILL Hardy, of Mornington Rose Garden, will be guest speaker at Mornington VIEW Club’s luncheon meeting at 11.30am for noon on November 21 at Mornington Golf Club.

Goodbye, Mary BERG Mt Martha Tuesday Group has farewelled Mary Stemp – “Mary from the Bunyip” - that is, the area below the bowling green and kindergarten in Watson Rd after 15 years. On-going works will mostly be undertaken by Naturelinks and overseen by BERG Mt Martha and the Natural Systems Te am. “In true Mary style, she made sure everything was in place for its future maintenance and management and tender loving care,” honorary secretary Di Lewis said. “The Bunyip will not be the only one to miss Mary. She made such a contribution to BERG Mt Martha on and offground, to the Balcombe Estuary Reserves and to the general local environment. “She was totally committed to the cause and was never happier than when she was immersed in the natural environment.”

Passengers ‘injured, stranded’ by wheelchair accessible taxis Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au A SERIES of disturbing reports concerning elderly and disabled wheelchair accessible taxi passengers who were allegedly seriously injured, stranded outdoors overnight and subjected to degrading treatment while travelling in the Frankston and peninsula region is under investigation. Brotherhood of St Laurence Frankston staff said complaints had been lodged with the Victorian Taxi Directorate over the treatment of four clients, while Taxi Services Commissioner Graeme Samuel is also looking into the allegations. In the most recent incident, a 75-year-old woman with multiple sclerosis who is confined to a wheelchair was forced to spend the night in a bus shelter at Carrum Downs in “freezing” conditions after the taxi she booked failed to arrive. Marice Hanary-Gleeson said she had booked a wheelchair accessible taxi a day in advance to take her home on the evening of the AFL grand final following a game of bingo and had then made multiple follow-up calls throughout the night when the taxi didn’t show up. She waited in a bus shelter on Frankston-Dandenong Rd “petrified and freezing cold” until 5am when she was able to catch the first 901 bus service of the day to Frankston. Mr Samuel described the incident as “completely unacceptable” and said he

had spoken to Frankston Radio Cabs about the matter. In a previous incident, an elderly woman’s leg was broken when her wheelchair tipped over while travelling in a wheelchair accessible taxi. Earlier in the year, two disabled passengers were strapped together by their legs in the back of wheelchair accessible taxi. Brotherhood of St Laurence staff said the middle-aged man and women were “clearly very distressed” but where unable to properly communicate with driver. A BCL staff member intervened and demanded the driver properly secure the wheelchairs. BSL Frankston senior manager Michael Hillier said the incidents were likely only the tip of the iceberg and illustrated the difficulties people with mobility issues faced. He said bad experiences left many people with disabilities fearful of using taxi services, which left them even more socially isolated. “Several serious incidents have occurred this year where our clients have been seriously injured because they haven’t been secured appropriately,” Mr Hillier said. “These incidents can be frightening and degrading, and importantly, pose a serious risk to health and safety... for instance, strapping two people physically together rather than securing their wheelchairs to the base of the vehicle. “One elderly person has even tipped

out of an wheelchair and broken her leg as a result.” He said the problem appeared to lie with “inexperience or poor training of drivers”. There have also been growing problems with bookings following the introduction of a new centralised booking system by Frankston Radio Cabs. “We have a good relationship with Frankston Taxis, who have worked hard to help manage our transport needs for our community activities,” Mr Hillier said. “However, since they centralised their booking system, we have noticed a decline in their understanding and responsiveness to the needs of our clients. “Sometimes we have had bookings in place two days in advance, especially on the Mornington Peninsula, and the driver doesn’t show up, meaning the person not only misses out on the activity, but occasionally is out of pocket too if they have pre-paid for an event.” Frankston Radio Cabs general manager Kevin Dunn said the company was treating the allegations seriously and was awaiting the findings of an investigation into the most recent incident. However, he said the company and drivers did all they could to ensure timely and safe transportation of all passengers. “Wheelchair accessible taxi drivers do this job by choice and they’re proud of their work helping a disadvantaged segment of the community,” Mr Dunn said. “Problems can arise, but I’d put that down to the human factor.”

‘Queue jumper’ leads the way THE Mornington community turned out in force to a forum organised by Peninsula Voice last weekend to show their support for one of the country’s most marginalised, maligned and misunderstood communities, asylum seekers. Around 250 people crammed Padua College’s Ursula Frayne Hall to hear from a range of high-profile speakers, including human rights lawyer Julian Burnside, and former United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan head of radio broadcasting, Jillian Hocking, pictured right. However, the star of the afternoon was refugee advocate and best-selling author Najaf Mazari, pictured left, a self-confessed “illegal” and “queue jumper” who spoke of his flight from war-torn Afghanistan across the world to Indonesia from where he risked his life to cross into Australian waters in an overloaded, unseaworthy fishing boat. Despite having been tortured and escaping certain death after fleeing Afghanistan in 2001 during the Taliban genocide of Hazara men, Najaf said

nothing could have prepared him for the soul-destroying experience of the infamous Woomera detention centre in the South Australian desert. In an interview shown at the forum, Mr Burnside described the journey detailed in Najaf’s book, The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif, as “the story of all refugees” and outlined the torment inflicted upon refugee men, woman and children in Australia’s detention centres. Fortunately, Najaf not only survived his two year’s of “enforced cruelty” in detention but his since thrived in his new life in Melbourne, where his wife and daughter were finally able to join him after six years of separation. The former shepherd and rug maker is now a successful businessman and highly respected leader within the Australian community, where he provides a voice and human face for not just his own people, but all refugees. He has also established a successful charity that delivers much-needed material support to members of the Hazara community in Afghanistan.

Skylift permit goes to VCAT A HEARING into objections to the proposed Arthurs Seat Skylift starts in the Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal this week. Skylift consortium leader Simon McKeon said last week that the main objections centred on the Skylift top station being built at the summit rather than where the run of the original twoseater chairlift ended. He said building a top station to cater for multi-person gondolas where the old chairlift ended would require cutting down many trees, especially under the latest bushfire regulations. “I respect their [the objectors’ views]

but it would be wrong to go back down the hill … it’s already mostly cleared at the top of the hill.” Mr McKeon said the consortium would have legal representation at the VCAT hearing, as would Parks Victoria, although the objections were aimed at the planning permit issued by Mornington Peninsula Shire. He said the top station, designed with the help of the Victorian government architect, would not be visible from lower down Arthurs Seat. Mr McKeon, a lawyer “early in my career”, said he had learnt that “you don’t get arrogant in litigation” and

was expecting the hearing to run for more than a week. However, all going well, he hoped the Skylift would be in service by mid2016. He believed the objectors “had no problems with the old two-seater” chairlift going back, but the Parks Victoria tender had stipulated that its replacement should be accessible to all. The consortium could make more money investing its $14-$16 million in BHP “but I agree with Parks that everyone should be able to sample our parks – the Skylift will be quiet and electronically driven”.

THE Mornington Peninsula has affirmed its status as the state’s No.1 vistor destination after winning eight of 32 categories at last week’s 2014 RACV Victorian Tourism Awards – more than any other region. Leading the way were multi-award winning peninsula drawcards Enchanted Adventure Garden, Peninsula Hot Springs and Moonlit Sanctuary, while Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s Wine Food Farmgate program was named the state’s best regional marketing campaign in its first year of operation. Other peninsula category winners included Red Hill’s Green Oliver winery, Stillwater at Crittenden, Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry operator Searoad Ferries and Frankston Visitor Information Centre. Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board executive chairwomanTracey Cooper said the peninsula tourism team was “proud to see such a rich field of entrants” from the region. “The Mornington Peninsula tourism industry continues to evolve and it is pleasing to see new businesses and first time entrants participate.” Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi also congratulated the winners, and acknowledged the role they play within the local tourism industry and its contribution to the economy of the Mornington Peninsula. She said it was particularly pleasing the peninsula’s renowned food and wine industries leading the way, especially in light of Tourism Australia’s latest global marketing campaign which focuses on the country’s “exceptional food and wine experiences”. Tourism Australia chief marketing officer Nick Baker said extensive research showed food and

wine were the most important factors in holiday decision making among both domestic and international visitors. Food and wine producers were the “stars” of Tourism Australia’s latest international marketing campaign, which aims to boost visitor numbers by highlighting the country’s “unique and exceptional food and wine experiences” being served-up at “remarkable locations” such as the peninsula. Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s Wine Food Farmgate program, launched late last year in an effort to harness the region’s food and wine “experiences”, won the RACV Victorian Tourism destination marketing award, while Green Olive

picked up the excellence in food tourism award and Stillwater at Crittenden was named best tourism restaurant and catering service. Wine Food Farmgate is a website and trail kit with map that guides visitors to the peninsula’s best restaurants, farmgates, general stores, old pubs, artisan producers and microbreweries. Tourism Minister Louise Asher said Monday night’s awards, which were held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, had celebrated and recognised outstanding achievement in the state's tourism sector over 30 years. "Today tourism contributes $19.6 billion to Victoria's economy, comprising our second larg-

est export industry, and employing more than 200,000 people across Melbourne and regional Victoria," Ms Asher said Pearcedale’s Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park was named as the state’s best eco tourism business at Monday’s award ceremony, adding to its swag of regional, state, national and international awards, while Enchanted Adventure Garden was named best adventure tourism operator, and Peninsula Hot Springs best regional tourist attraction. The eight peninsula winners will represent Victoria at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in Adelaide in April next year.

LABOR WILL REBUILD OUR TAFE SYSTEM At a time when youth unemployment is so high, the Napthine Liberal Government gutted Victoria’s TAFE system. TAFE helps people get jobs, change jobs or even go onto tertiary study. Only Labor will repair the damage done to our local TAFE.

The generations that coincide A JOINT presentation by Mornington U3A course coordinator Libby Wilson and Mornington Park Primary School principal Bev Dadds made an impact at the Seniors Week Intergenerational Forum at Deakin Edge Theatre, Federation Square, last month. The U3A/primary school ‘Musical Memories’ project, a finalist in the Tidy Towns Community Awards, was an invited presentation at the forum hosted by the ministerial advisory committee for Senior Victorians. Commissioner for Senior Victorians Gerard Mansour chaired the forum and panel discussion. He said the event was “‘an opportunity to open discussion about intergenerational collaboration, about how each generation can learn from others, as well as recognise how important it is for our community to understand and value what each generation has to offer”. U3A Mornington volunteers in the Primary School project would be familiar with the processes and outcomes outlined by Ms Wilson and Ms Dadds. They described conditions at the school and gave examples of how sharing knowledge had increased understanding on many levels, and how it had increased respect between the generations. The principal talked about improved participation of families in the school and how the project had positively affected their Naplan scores. Ms Wilson gave examples of comments by the children, their families and U3A volunteers, illustrating the mutual benefits of the project. Digital strategist Rachel De Sain presented a paper on meaningful intergenerational activity through YouTube and other digital media. Commissioner Mansour said that “… the up-take of technology through intergenerational projects supported ‘cyber-savvy’ seniors and social engagement in a digital age”. During the panel discussion, members of the audience said they were “blown away” by the initiatives and creativity of the projects,

Cyber-savvy: U3A Mornington’s Libby Wilson, commissioner Gerard Mansour and Mornington Park Primary School principal Bev Dadds.

especially the structure of the U3A/Primary School project. They drew attention to the need to accommodate different cultural groups in the projects, and develop a structured ‘teaching tool’ for sharing intergenerational programs, for example, in digital media studies. However, they said more affordable access to the internet for seniors was required to bridge the “digital divide”. Commissioner Mansour said that “... in an era of changing demographics and relationship

dynamics between generations, the projects provided excellent examples of ‘getting out there’ and doing something; in leading the way towards improving meaningful exchanges that promoted social connectedness and inclusiveness”.

State urged to delay lease for Point plan Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au SUNDAY week was a red flag day for the state government and developers wanting to run a spa-based tourist operation in the Quarantine Station precinct of Point Nepean National Park. The “red alert picnic protest” at plans unveiled by the Premier Dr Denis Napthine in July leasing land and buildings to the Point Leisure Group for a fivestar resort, including thermal pools and spa, a health and wellness centre, accommodation (luxury and camping), shops, cafes, restaurants, a “heritage” museum and jetty. Protesters on Sunday urged the state government not to sign the lease before the 29 November election and for the proposal to “go back to the drawing broad”. It also coincided with the release of a Victorian National Parks Association survey showing 56 per cent of Victorian’s opposed 99-year private leases in national parks, with 17 per cent in agreement. Dr Napthine said the company run by Richard and Trine Shelmerdine proposed to spend $100 making Point Nepean an international tourism destination. However, the announcement was greeted with less enthusiasm by groups and individuals who successfully fought against plans to develop the historic precinct by the former Liberal federal government led by John Howard. The national park was eventually handed to Victoria with no strings attached after the election of the Labor government led by Kevin Rudd. The current Liberal state government is negotiating a 25-99 lease with the The

Point group before test bores have been made to check the availability and suitability of thermal water (hot spring) supplies. Kate Baillieu, long time campaigner for balanced development at Point Nepean, said celebrations had been held in 2009 “when the fences that kept people out [at Point Nepean] came down”. “Now it looks like the fences will be going up again, to lock us out. But this place belongs to all of us and we mustn't let it become the plaything of one property developer.” Ms Baillieu said a long term lease for the public land was “tantamount to selling it off”. “Community and environment groups believe consultation, planning and leasing processes are inadequate to protect the historic and environmental integrity of the national park and its heritage precinct. "Handing one property developer a 99year lease like this is as good as privatising the national park, something we’ve spent years fighting against. We thought we'd won, but now I believe this is just the first step on the way to privatising all of our national parks – it is a gross betrayal of our trust.” Nepean Conservation Group president Ursula de Jong said that the national park would now “irrevocably change” if the government’s plans went ahead. “The concept vision for a health and wellbeing resort with geothermal springs and spas, while adding another layer to the story of the Point Nepean National Park, ignores and obliterates its previous rich history. It is the right of every Victorian to be able to enjoy this National Park with its unique attributes.”

Percy caused death of second girl: coroner Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au A NAVAL rating based at HMAS Cerberus in Crib Point who was jailed for murdering a 12-yearold girl near Warneet in 1969 also caused the death of a seven-year-old girl in St Kilda in 1968, deputy state coroner Ian West said last week. Derek Ernest Percy died on 24 July last year at age 64. Four days earlier he had refused to answer questions about the disappearance of Linda Stilwell who was last seen on St Kilda foreshore near Luna Park on 10 August 1968. Her body was never found. The attempt to extract a deathbed confession as Percy lay dying from lung cancer at St Vincent's Hospital failed. Last week Mr West said: “I find that Derek Percy caused the death of Linda Jane Stilwell.” Mr West commended the work of Detective Senior Sergeant Wayne Newman, who first reviewed the Stilwell case in 2004 and established similarities between the abductions of Yvonne Tuohy near Warneet and Linda Stilwell, and identified Percy as the prime suspect. Mr West said Percy had the capacity to "commit a heinous act", as his abduction and killing of Tuohy demonstrated. Percy was arrested over the death of Yvonne Tuohy in July 1969 but was found unfit to plea and jailed indefinitely. He was the only Victorian prisoner held at the "governor's pleasure". Percy had been questioned about the deaths or disappearances of seven

Coroner’s ruling: Derek Percy, above, two years before he died at age 64, has been found responsible for the death of seven-year-old Linda Stilwell.

other children in Australia including two of the nation's highest profile cases of the 20th century: • The murders of 15-year-olds Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt on Sydney's Wanda Beach in January 1965, while Percy, then 17, was holidaying nearby with his parents. • The disappearance of the Beaumont children (Jane, 9, Arnna, 7, and Grant, 4), abducted from Glenelg Beach near Adelaide on Australia Day in 1966. Percy admitted to police he was in Adelaide at the time. • The murder of Allen Redston, 6, in Canberra in September 1966. The boy left his home to go to a nearby milk bar for ice-cream. The following day his body was discovered concealed in reeds by a creek. He had been hog-tied and had plastic wrapped around his throat. When Percy was questioned in 1969, he confirmed taking a family holiday in

Canberra that year. • The death of Simon Brook, 3, in Sydney in May 1968, taken from the yard of his home in Glebe. By this time Percy had left school and joined the navy. He lived at the naval base at Garden Island and commuted through Glebe to the dock. Last week Detective Senior Sergeant Newman said he formed the opinion Percy was involved in the Stilwell case when the investigation was reopened a decade ago. Detective Newman said he was "absolutely" certain Percy killed Linda Stilwell. Percy was based at Cerberus when he was arrested just hours after Yvonne Tuohy's kidnapping in 1969. Her mutilated body was found in bushland at Devon Meadows, a short drive from Warneet. Police acted on information from Shane Spiller, a 12-year-old boy with Yvonne at Warneet's Ski Beach

in the coastal reserve between Blind Bight and Warneet on an isolated part of Rutherford Inlet, which flows into Western Port. The boy escaped from the kidnapper’s clutches by brandishing his tomahawk, and ran for his life through the bush to raise the alarm. Police were called and raced to Warneet. Spiller told them Percy had taken the girl in an orange station wagon. He gave detectives a drawing of a sticker he'd seen on its rear window, a Royal Australian Navy insignia. Police drove to Cerberus and found Percy in a laundry, trying to wash Yvonne's blood from his clothes. Shane Spiller was haunted by the incident for the rest of his life and disappeared from Wyndham, a small town on the NSW south coast near Merimbula, in 2002 at the age of 44. Percy amassed more than $300,000 during his years behind bars. Although he was with the navy for only 20 months, he continued to collect ComSuper payments of up to $20,000 a year, based on 60 per cent of a recruit's annual salary. In 2007, police found 35 cardboard boxes and tea chests filled with material from Percy in a South Melbourne storage depot. They alleged the material included clippings on sex crimes, stories Percy had written on how to commit child abductions, and items that appeared to implicate him in unsolved murders. There was also a valuable stamp collection. Police discovered Percy had leased storage units since 1970, had more than $300,000 in the bank and had successfully invested in gold.

CFA warns of burn-off risks

Reward for effort: Southern Cross Cultural Exchange program coordinator Jessica Tennison, founder Betty Lane, outbound manager Tanya Waters and general manager Robert Lindsay.

Culture is all about exchange ADVANCING international understanding between Australian communities and the rest of the world: that might sound like a grand claim but it’s justified – on a small scale - for a local Mt Eliza group. To prove its bona fides, the Southern Cross Cultural Exchange pointed to its recent win in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Excellence in Business Award 2014 for Community Contribution. The gala dinner ceremony was held at the Frankston Arts Centre.

“The award not only recognises the cultural exchange as an outstanding business but also our valuable contribution to the community,” general manager Robert Lindsay said. “It also reflects and acknowledges the hard work and commitment by everyone involved with [the exchange] throughout Australia, including the incredible support of local volunteer host families.” The not-for-profit Southern Cross Cultural Exchange has conducted exchanges for nearly 17,000 Australian

and international high school students from 20 countries. “We are proud to bring international exchange students to Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula to showcase our local lifestyles, help students to experience our beautiful part of the world and attend local schools throughout the peninsula,” Mr Lindsay said. The international educational exchange program is recognised as a challenging example of experiential education for high school students

who want to go overseas to experience and share cultures, he added. “They gain a firsthand opportunity to understand different cultures and develop new perspectives for their personal growth. In many cases, students and their host families’ lives are transformed through the experience.” The cultural exchange was founded by Betty Lane in 1983. She was “delighted and thrilled to see SCCE gain formal recognition for its excellence in providing quality student exchange programs”. Stephen Taylor

FRANKSTON and peninsula residents have been warned to take extreme care when burning off as temperatures start to rise. CFA Assistant Chief Officer Trevor Owen said conditions changed quickly and fires could get out of control within minutes in hot and windy conditions. “The effects of an out-of-control fire can be devastating and we want everyone to excise extreme caution, especially with summer only just beginning,” Mr Owen said. CFA community safety manager for the South East Region Jude Kennedy said that although the official fire danger period was yet to come into force, residents needed to be aware of weather conditions and council regulations. “We’re also reminding people to always register their burn-offs so we know what is happening in the area, especially if brigades are being called to fires,” Mr Kennedy said. “It reduces the chances of CFA brigades being called out unnecessarily if a member of the public calls about smoke or a fire in the area.” He added that people should never leave a burn-off unattended as it’s the resident’s responsibility to ensure that it does not get out of control. “If a burn off gets out of control, call ‘000’ immediately. People should have a fire plan and prepare for the event of fire, and remember never to be complacent.” To register a burn-off with the CFA, contact 1800 668 511.

CEO Kennedy to leave shire Snapper anglers in spotlight Continued from Page 1

“In recent years the shire’s administration has appeared to have lost direction and the need for refreshment and reinvigoration became clearer each year,” it said. The group said the need to appoint an interim CEO was “a clear failure of effective succession planning”. “From Tyabb’s perspective we are sure that the new CEO will bring a much needed sense of renewal to the shire administration,” the group stated. “We hope that they will demonstrate the personal initiative and drive necessary to address the shire’s long running failure to effectively manage the Tyabb airfield in a fair and equitable manner which is acceptable to the community of Tyabb.” The Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association said it accepts that the job of a peninsula CEO is difficult because of the size of the shire and its diversity with 40 townships. While Dr Kennedy had contributed to the development of the shire, helping to maintain the green wedge and avoiding the shire becoming part of the plans for Melbourne’s growth corridor the association believed “a change in culture would be beneficial”. “Under Dr Kennedy’s reign debt had increased and rates have risen 150 per cent over the last 11 years compared with an average of 118 per cent, according to ABS figures for Melbourne’s councils,” the association stated. “The association hopes that a new CEO will

be able to introduce harmony within the council which has been bitterly divided over the last few years, most notably over the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre where over a million dollars had been wasted in 10 years attempting to locate the centre on the Rosebud foreshore without success. “It also anticipates that the new administration will be more open and transparent, and there will be more fact and less spin.” The then Mr Kennedy was appointed CEO in 1999. He was reappointed in 2004, 2008 and 2012, with controversy surrounding the 2004 and 2008 reappointments. Concern was also expressed about the 2012 reappointment, with many in the community feeling the market should have been tested to see what calibre of applicant might be attracted to the job. Cr Celi’s Thursday announcement said councillors would consider appointing an acting CEO “until the appointment of a new CEO is finalised”. Chief executive officers’ employment is handled by councillors. Speculation arose within hours of the Kennedy announcement that the interim CEO might be Alison Leighton, whose star has risen spectacularly in the shire this year. She was appointed as temporary replacement for former chief financial officer when Marilyn Kearney left and has just been appointed to the senior position of director- sustainable infrastructure, held by veteran shire employee Alex Atkins who is about to retire.

Candidates line up for shire’s top job COUNCILLORS have begun interviewing candidates for the office of shire chief executive officer, occupied by Dr Michael Kennedy until 14 November. But they – and shire executives – are remaining silent on most aspects of the selection process. The News believes more than 100 applications for the plum job were received, with other aspirants advised not to bother applying, presumably

because of the intense competition for the job from highly qualified people. All 11 shire councillors are involved in interviewing candidates for the top job, which at present pays some $350,000 plus benefits. A new CEO may not necessarily start on that salary. A usually reliable council source would say only that people “would be blown away” when the result of the selection process became known.

POLICE, fisheries officials and maritime safety officers were out in force over the weekend as thousands of recreation anglers hit Port Phillip and Western Port for the country’s biggest snapper competition. With more than 2000 people and hundreds of boats expected to take part in the annual fishing competition, which coincides with the start of the snapper season, uniformed and water police, Fisheries Victoria officials and Transport Safety Victoria officers were keen to ensure safety regulations and bag limits were being observed. Boats, trailers and vehicles were inspected at boat ramps across the bayside, Frankston and peninsula region, while police also conducted breath tests and checked safety equipment. Fisheries Victoria acting director for education and enforcement Ian Parks said fisheries officers would be focusing on size and bag limits in addition to checking licences during Operation Raptor, which will runs from the Melbourne Cup weekend across the holiday season. He said fisheries officers would be targeting snapper anglers in Port Phillip and Western Port day and night over the course of the season, so it was vital fishermen stuck to the mandated catch limits. “Fisheries officers will be out in marked and unmarked vessels, seizing boats and fishing equipment where snapper bag and size limits have been exceeded,” Mr Parks said. “Anglers who breach snapper bag and size limits face multiple fines of up to $433 on the spot, or $10,000 and/or six months imprisonment. “The courts can prohibit offenders from fishing altogether for up to 12 months if found guilty of recreational fishing offences and, for serious offences, this prohibition can be even greater.” The minimum legal length for snapper is 28cm and the bag limit is 10, of which only three can equal or exceed 40cm. Snapper must be landed whole so Fisheries Officers can measure them. Mr Parks urged members of the public to report suspect illegal snapper fishing by calling the 13FISH (13 3474) intelligence reporting line.

Safety blitz: Police talk with recreational anglers at Patterson River on Friday. Picture: Gary Sissons

The state government announced last Friday additional boating safety officers had been deployed across Victoria to assist Transport Safety Victoria’s maritime safety branch in promoting safety on the water this summer. Minister for Ports David Hodgett said the extra boating safety officers, funded under the state government’s Boating Safety and Facilities Program, would play an important role in educating the state’s estimated 270,000 recreational boaters and help to spread information about boating safety. “I am also pleased to support a stronger on-water safety team this boating season which will be underpinned by a state-wide campaign reminding boaters to wear life jackets,” Mr Hodgett said. “This campaign will highlight the devastation that not wearing a lifejacket can have on friends and loved ones who are left behind.” TSV director of maritime safety Peter Corcoran said boating safety officers played a key role in promoting the safety of all waterway users. He said that while most boaters did the right thing on the water, a large number of avoidable serious injuries and deaths occurred each year. He said latest TSV figures showed that in 2013-14 there were 1287 recreational boating incidents, including 1012 vessel disablements. Tragically, 10 boaters lost their lives on Victorian waters during the same period. Chris Brennan

Jewel Shed murderer eligible for parole in 2037 Cameron McCullough cameron@mpnews.com.au THE family of murdered Hastings jeweller Dermot O’Toole have spoken of their devastation over the 27 year sentence handed to his killer, Gavin Perry, on Monday 27 October. Minutes before, Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth handed down the sentence requiring Perry to serve a minimum of 23 years before being eligible for parole. Ferocious weather had delayed the arrival of Perry in court. When he was finally led in, the 27-year-old was wearing a shabby blue shirt and pink striped tie, slightly askew. He could not make eye contact with members of the O’Toole family or their supporters, as they were obscured by a partition to his left. Flanked by two correctional officers, Perry showed little emotion during the proceedings and stared straight ahead with his hands clasped in front of him, moving only to take an occasional sip of water. Justice Hollingworth began the sentencing by describing the lead up to the murder. Perry and his then girlfriend, Rhiannon Bailey, had gone into the jewellery store earlier on the day of the murder, staying for about five minutes. “As you were leaving you made a comment about having made the counter dirty with your fingertips; you put your hand inside your t-shirt and wiped down the glass counter,” Justice Hollingworth said. “You then used your elbow to close the store door behind you. There is no

dispute that you did these things to avoid leaving fingerprints, as you were already planning to rob the store later.” The judge went on to detail how Perry returned to Hastings later that day and stole a knife from the Safeway supermarket at 4.38pm. “You then entered the Jewel Shed just before 5pm. You produced a large carving knife from inside your tracksuit pants.” The ensuing confrontation between Mr and Mrs O’Toole and Perry lasted little more than 30 seconds but left Mrs O’Toole badly injured and Mr O’Toole dying on the floor of the store. After an initial skirmish with Mrs

and Mr O’Toole Justice Hollingworth said Perry “pushed Mr O’Toole again, and he slipped over onto his back”. “He put his feet up towards you in a defensive manner. You moved around to Mr O’Toole’s left shoulder area, and stabbed him twice in his upper chest with the knife”. Mr O’Toole briefly got to his feet before collapsing to the floor. A number of people rushed to his aid and tried to resuscitate him, but he died at the scene. Mrs O’Toole was taken to Frankston Hospital after the attack. She was treated for multiple lacerations - including to her left elbow and forearm,

her back, and her left ear and forehead - as well as bruising to her chest area. She required suturing, and underwent plastic surgery in relation to a number of these injuries. The judge made note of the mental scars suffered by Mrs O’Toole, as well as the physical ones. “Not only was Bridget O’Toole physically attacked herself, but she had to watch her husband of 41 years die in front of her, after he came to her defence.” The judge described the CCTV footage of the incident as that of someone “acting in a fast and frenzied manner, entirely consistent with somebody on

ice”. Perry later admitted he was high on the drug at the time. As well as the armed robbery at the Jewel Shed on 12 July last year, Perry was also sentenced for the armed robbery of a Red Rooster in Cranbourne on 6 July 2013 and the armed robbery of a Money 3 shop in Cranbourne on 11 July 2013. “You have a long history of criminal offending,” Justice Hollingworth said. Perry had more than 200 convictions for offences, mainly involving property, and had been sentenced to six years for armed robbery in February 2010. He had been released on parole from prison on 7 February last year and was still on parole when he committed the spate of armed robberies culminating in the death of Mr O’Toole. The judge sentenced Perry to 20 years imprisonment for murder, four years for intentionally causing injury, and five years imprisonment for the armed robbery of the Jewel Shed. She also sentenced him to five years for each of the earlier armed robberies. Due to the links between the charges, there was considered to be “concurrency” between sentencing resulting in a total sentence of 27 years imprisonment for all charges. Justice Hollingworth set a non-parole period of 23 years. Other than the O’Toole family and their large number of friends and supporters, there was at least one other person unhappy with the term imposed. Perry, while being led away from the courtroom tore his neck-tie off in apparent disgust at the sentence.

Going online: Cyril Benjamin back at the controls of “Cyril the steam engine” at Western Port BlueScope Steel’s model rail club’s 40th birthday bash.

‘Cyril’ huffs and puffs for 40th “Cyril the steam engine” – with retired Lysaght manager Cyril Benjamin at the controls - did a lap of honour to celebrate Western Port BlueScope Steel model rail club’s 40th birthday. The train ride was followed by a cake cutting and barbecue lunch. Founded in 1974 the club is on company grounds adjacent to the recreation centre. The current set up has more than 1.1km of

mainline track allowing trains to run a continuous loop. The tabletop layout is 162 metres. Members have a diverse range of interests and activities. Locomotive types owned and, in many cases, built by members are steam, petrol, petrolelectric, petrol-hydraulic and battery-electric. While the club does not host running days for the public, it offers train rides to the families of BlueScope as part of its Christmas function.

Rotarians help community charities MEMBERS of the eight peninsula Rotary clubs that make up the Nepean cluster have joined forces to help raise funds for local charities. They are collecting donations and handling parking duties during the Archibald Prize exhibition at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. Over the past four weeks they have helped raise hundreds of dollars which will be donated to the Mornington Peninsula Charitable Trust. “Rotarians who have assisted with the parking and fundraising efforts throughout the exhibition have done an outstanding community service,” Mornington Peninsula mayor Cr Antonella Celi said. “I extend a warm thank you for their efforts in assisting raising funds for those in need on the peninsula.” The charitable trust raises funds for local charities.During the mayor’s 2014 term it has raised money to help with food and resources for peninsula people experiencing disadvantage and hardship. Rotary Dromana president Merv Prossor said helping the community was all part of what

Rotary does. “We’re here to support and help our community in whatever way we can, and we’re proud to support the regional gallery as they host this significant exhibition. “We’re always on the look-out for new members who are community-minded, and are keen to volunteer their time with Rotary.” He urged anyone interested to get in contact with Rotary “to make a difference within your local area”. The Archibald Prize is on show until 16 November at the regional gallery, Civic Reserve, Mornington.

‘No charge’ green waste weekend Mornington Peninsula Shire will hold a ‘nocharge’ green waste disposal weekend at all resource recovery centres on 15-16 November to promote a reduction in green waste around homes in the lead up to summer. The offer is for shire residents only, with green waste to be delivered only by residential vehicles and trailers. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste will be accepted. Resource Recovery Centres in Truemans Rd, Rye, McKirdys Rd, Tyabb, and Watt Rd, Mornington will be open 8am–5pm Saturday and Sunday. Residents are asked to be patient as delays are expected at the resource recovery centres, espe-

cially at the beginning and end of each day. The Mornington depot can accept only up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip, and proof of residency is required: for example a driver’s licence or copy of a rates notice. Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Residents in the urban areas are also reminded that they can call the shire to opt-in to receive a kerbside green waste bin. There is a cost for this service. For more information about the ‘no-charge’ green waste weekend, or the opt-in kerbside green bin collection service, call customer service on 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000 or visit mornpen.vic.gov.au

Classical ‘tribute’

Death of music’s biggest fan

TEN-string guitarist Matthew Fagan will entertain at an afternoon of Spanish classical music at 3pm on Sunday 9 November at St John’s Church, Flinders. He will present a musical ‘journey’ celebrating the Parkes family, his virtuoso forebears. Fagan’s repertoire will include Flight of the Bumblebee-Rimsky-Korsakov, Caprice No. 24-Niccolò Paganini, Rondo `A La Turca’, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Czardas Hungarian Dance-Vittorio Monti, Traditional summer and winter first movements from ‘The Four Seasons’, Antonio Vivaldi, Flamenco Dance ‘Solearas’ and Spanish Dances, ‘El Vito’ and ‘La Partida’ and Carolan's harp and lute music arranged especially for a 10 string guitar. Fagan recorded these concert pieces as tributes to his grandfather and great uncles on his new CD ‘virtuoso’. His grandfather Milton was a celebrated concert pianist, accompanying his brothers and also performing as a soloist. Milton’s older brother is concert violinist Cecil ¬– who toured with soprano Dame Nellie Melba - and his younger brother is violinist Kingsley. Their father, Albert, was also a celebrated concert violinist who performed at Covent Garden. Fagan has toured with some of the world's greats, including Natalie Cole, The Original Buena Vista Social Club, Shirley Bassey, Michael Crawford and Billy Connolly. Cecil Parkes’ daughter Margaret Griffiths lives in Mornington and is a member of the Peninsula Music Society. She has taught violin for many years. Daughter Katherine archives photos and newspaper clippings of the Parkes family. Doors for the concert will open at 2.30pm. St John’s is at 23 King St. Bookings are essential on 0438 881 985 or by email mjb2fagan@gmail.com The cost is $30 full, $25 concession, $15 for U16s, or $50 for a family of two adults and two children.

OVER the course of several decades Hadyn Godony was one of the most consistent performers at live music venues in Frankston and on the Mornington Peninsula. However, his reason for being on stage, backstage or mingling with the crowd was not so much making music, but driven by a love for the music and the need to photographically record the event. Hadyn organised events and was seen by musicians as their biggest fan – he was a lifelong, devoted supporter. Sadly, the music finished for Hadyn just after midnight Monday 27 October, when he passed away at The Alfred, where he had been receiving treatment for about five weeks. A man of ideas and strong opinions, Hadyn carved himself a niche in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula music and live venue market. His “Hotshots”, most often of groups of smiling people at clubs and pubs, for many years cornered the market in the various mastheads published by the Independent News Group. The pages of small head-filled photos were often the first opened, especially by young people who readily volunteered their poses for his camera. Hadyn was responsible for the content of the papers’ entertainment section, Nightmoves, filling columns with reviews: restaurants, records and films all came within his field of expertise. That interest saw him transition to Fairfax Community Network when it took over The Independent and subsequently changed the newspapers’ format, rebranding them as The Weekly. Always intensely loyal to whichever publication he was working for, Hadyn stayed with various papers under The Weekly banner until they folded in mid-2013. He contributed work to the Mornington Peninsula News Group, publisher of this newspaper, until early this year.

At the time of his death he was working for Mornington Peninsula Magazine, owned by his long-time friend, Lisa Walton. As his editor for several years, I appreciated Hadyn’s take on life, his optimism and ideas. He would often make suggestions about our publications and, if rejected, wait a few weeks and make another play with the same idea, only repackaged. He was terrier-like. I visited him in hospital some years before he was finally taken by cancer. He lay on a bed quietly as fluid drained from his lungs into a bottle at the bedside. He made no complaint, just

asked me about the current week’s papers and spoke as if he’d be back the following week. And, of course, he was. Before his death, at 58, last week, Hadyn penned what has now become his own epitaph: “In the winter of 1976 I fell in love with a girl who lived in Rosebud. In a heartbeat, I left my job at Kodak in Coburg and moved to McCombe St, next to what is now Port Phillip Plaza. I soon discovered that I had plonked down in a place that I still call paradise. I’ve revelled in a blessed life since; enjoyed two marriages and two divorces, and lived at 11 peninsula addresses. Many of the most gorgeous years were spent at the former famous-farmhouse, Willochra, on the old Nepean Highway in Safety Beach. Now, I love being in this 100-year-old clinker brick in Mornington. My first ‘real’ job, on the peninsula, was at Hastings High School where I scored a super spot as the lab tech in the science department. All the while loving music and hovering on the edge of the local scene, I fell into job writing about peninsula nightlife for the (then) local papers The Independent and The Mail. Carrying a camera soon became part of that and led to the Hotshots pages in a section called “Nightmoves”. In 2007 they cut some chunks outta me, and gave me a five per cent chance of seeing this decade. I’m thankful for the angel on my shoulder. Most days now, I’m either working as a journalist or a photographer for Mornington Peninsula Magazine and still love shooting people having fun.” Hadyn Godony is survived by his mother Margaret and sister Catherine. His funeral will be held 2.30pm Friday 7 November at the New Peninsula Church, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Keith Platt

Baha launch: Kinematic members Michael Owen, Mark Olszewski, Michael Clarke and Gordon Clarke all set for a big night.

Band to launch album at Rye THE band Kinematic will launch its new album at Baha, Rye, on Saturday, with special guests The Jed Rowe Band. Their Kinecism album is the fourth by these four talented musos who have a 14-year history of playing together around the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stoked to be launching this full length album and sharing it with the world,â&#x20AC;? guitarist and Rye resident â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gordoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clarke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you count EPs and singles, this is our ninth release, which is a rare achievement for an unsigned band.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy going it alone, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve persisted and expanded our writing, recording and production skills, and Kinecism is testament to that.â&#x20AC;? Publicist Karen Yuen said the album was an exciting mix of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;folkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ballads, upbeat piano pop, and forays into inspired â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rock madnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The band is known for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;catchy original music and killer live showâ&#x20AC;?; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious these guys love what they do and are very good at it.â&#x20AC;?

Rigging up to catch a big red By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro THIS time of year snapper are all the rage, so with this in mind here's a basic guide to get you setup for success. Snapper are best targeted with fast tapered (soft tip and powerful butt) 4-10kg outfits. My personal preference is for a rod of about two metres long, which gives me the ability to keep lines away from the boat and provide a greater separation between the lines. Longer rods also help in casting lightly weighted baits. Both spinning and overhead outfits are suitable, but reels with a bait running/feeding system are preferred. This gives the angler the ability to set a preset bait feeding drag (typically no tension to one kilogram), in theory allowing in greater hookup rates. In shallower water braided line has little advantages and a good quality 4-10kg monofilament line will suffice. Reels should be capable of holding about 260 metres of the chosen class of line. For those fishing with reels without a bait feeding feature set the drag at about one third of the line’s breaking strength (normal drag or fighting drag setting). In this situation the fast taper of the rod should hook the fish. When the rod loads up simply lift/hook into the fish. This method is particularly effective when using soft baits like pilchards, couta and other fish fillets. It’s also very effective when using silver whiting and garfish heads. When fishing for Snapper I like to uswe as many rods as possible (four a person limit). To do this successfully you will need to use rod holders. I prefer to use a snapper rack style holder which come in both a port and starboard configuration. The rods tips when placed in the holder should be no more than 30 degrees to the water. Rods when placed in the holders should

be regularly attended to, lines should be kept taught and baits checked regularly. The best rig for snapper in Port Phillip is a two-hook running sinker rig with 1-2 meters of 30-40lb fluorocarbon leader. I have one hook sliding and one hook fixed. Hook size is dictated by bait size. I typically like to use big baits so more often than not I use 6/0 hooks, but in general snapper anglers will fish with hooks ranging from 2/0 – 8/0. When fishing with a sliding hook rig I use a suicide hook as the slider and either a bait-holder, suicide or Limerick hook as the fixed hook. When fishing with a sliding hook rig make sure that your slider is either the same size or smaller than your fixed hook. This gives the bait symmetry, helping in presentation.

Always use quality hooks as snapper have very strong jaws and tough bony mouths so hooks should be very sharp and very strong. So get on the water and get on the fish. We are so lucky to have a world class fishery right on the doorstep of a capital city. Remember, it's our responsibility as the users to maintain, monitor, respect and protect our beloved finite resource. Tight lines and calm seas.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www. morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

LIVE video streaming of Port Phillip and Western Port boat ramps could soon be available on line as part of a $6 million package of boating programs announced by the state government last week. Minister for Ports David Hodgett last week announced the latest projects to be awarded funding under the Boating Safety and Facilities Program, including a grant to investigate a smart phone app that would link to webcams at Victorian boat ramps. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will also receive more than $365,000 to “reconfigure” Mornington boat ramp car park under the program, which aims to improve safety and accessibility on Victoria's waterways. Mr Hodgett said $50,000 would be provided to the Boating Industry Association Victoria to develop a business case to test the feasibility of developing smart phone technology to help recreational boaters see how busy boat ramps are and plan their trips accordingly. The $50,000 grant to BIAV for the development of a webcams business case would enable “innovative planning to investigate the development of smart phone technology that would be linked to webcams at some of Victoria's busiest boat ramps”, Mr Hodgett said. "The technology would enable recreational boaters to see how busy boat ramps are and enable them to plan for their boating trips more easily instead of waiting in long queues during the peak boating season," Mr Hodgett said. Mornington MP David Morris said $418,000 would be provided for three projects benefiting peninsula recreational boating projects through the program, including works at Mornington boat ramp car park that will create a wider access and turning area for boat trailers in an effort to improve congestion during the peak boating season. A further $37,000 has been allocated to install infrared technology for primary search and rescue vessels at Mornington and $15,000 to replace a search and rescue vessel trailer.

Peninsula treasure in hinterlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart ENJOYING itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own splendid slice of the peninsula hinterland, and from the air so reminiscent of a beautiful Tuscan villa, rarely has a property of this calibre come onto the market. This stunning rural retreat is suitable for equestrian pursuits, or the operation of a hobby farm with goats or alpacas roaming free around the 9.25-hectares. Divided into seven paddocks - each with a water supply- the central lane ways are an excellent improvement for ease of access around the property. The spectacular entrance is framed by wrought-iron gates, with a sweeping driveway threading its way through macrocarpa trees to a wide parking bay at the front of the home. With the grand feel of times gone by, the majestic foyer has a sweeping staircase that takes you up to the bedroom wing and a third living area. A formal living room has a gas log fire, and a formal dining room will comfortably seat 12 guests. The kitchen is centrally located to the formal areas and a beautiful open plan area that incorporates a casual meals zone and a family room. The splendid kitchen features quality appliances by DeLonghi with an under-bench oven and gas cook top, an Asko dishwasher and all complemented by stylish granite benchtops. From the upstairs living room there are superb views across the property, and you can relax in style at the end of the day in the opulent master bedroom suite that boasts a walkthrough robe to a spa ensuite, and a parents retreat where you can cosy up and watch the sunsets. Three more king-sized bedrooms all have built-in robes and have their own special rural outlook. There is a double garage under the roof line that together brings the home to an impressive 390-square metres (42 square) with several quality outbuildings for farm vehicles and livestock.

WHAT’S NEW

Service, quality and value for money ESTABLISHED at Peninsula Home for just over four years, Mornington Bedroom Gallery is going from strength to strength, and owners, Robert and Angela, cannot believe the success they continue to have. The local owner operators of Mornington Bedroom Gallery are no longer part of a franchise group and are now the only independently run (non-franchised) bedding store located in the Mornington region. Both Robert and Angela are experienced in the bedding and furniture industry, Robert for over 29 years and Angela for over 19 years. Robert has also worked in the manufacturing side of mattresses and now develops their store ranges with local family owned mattress manufacturers. As owner operators they are both extremely passionate about what they do. “Being totally independent also means that unlike franchises where there are costs built in for rebates, you will not pay more than you need to for quality items,” said Robert. “We do not rely on brand names but instead prefer to deal with local Melbourne based mattress manufacturers who build fantastic value for money items as well as keeping up with current trends in the market place. Being owner operators also means that we have much lower

overheads which mean our prices are second to none.” Mornington Bedroom Gallery specialise in 100 per cent Australian Made local mattresses. Come into the store so you can see from their mattress cutaways exactly what goes into each mattress range, as well as having all information explained to you. By doing this you will be able to make an informed decision when doing mattress comparisons between various stores, as well as seeing the great value and quality offered at Mornington Bedroom Gallery.

HEEL pain is extremely common, in-fact over 80% of Australians will suffer it at some point. Common symptoms include: - a painful or bruising feeling first thing in the morning - throbbing at the end of the day - stiffness/soreness when standing up after sitting - pain during/after activity Experienced Musculoskeletal and Sports Podiatrist, Dr. David Kavanagh from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics says, “There is much misinformation about heel pain, often leading to misdiagnosis. Heel pain symptoms are most often diagnosed as either heel spurs or plantar fasciitis but this may not be accurate.” So lets sort fact from fiction. What is heel pain? Most heel pain occurs when the plantar fascia (connective tissues running along the bottom of the foot), becomes overloaded, resulting in degeneration of tissues. During weight bearing activity the fascia can be strained and repeatedly pull on the heel bone, often leading to the formation of a heel spur. However, the spur itself rarely causes pain, it’s the degeneration of the surrounding plantar fascia or soft tissue that does. This is known as Plantar Fasciosis, not Plantar Fasciitis, which most heel pain is incorrectly diagnosed as or referred to. One is degenerative, the other inflammatory in nature and they need to be treated very differently, and therefore must be diagnosed properly. The key to assisting heel pain is, NOT to use anti-inflammatory treatments, which are too often prescribed. These won’t fix heel pain and can prolong the injury and increase the risk of further tissue damage.

The good news is there is often a simple, natural solution to heel pain. “Most heel pain is a result of faulty foot function (or biomechanics) associated with environmental factors, but with correct diagnosis and treatment it can be assisted very effectively. Don’t just put up with heel pain. If you’re getting treatment and not getting results, get a second opinion” Dr. Kavanagh comments.

Innovation and technology is key to health SINCE The Valley Private Hospital opened nearly 30 years ago in Melbourne’s southeastern corridor, it has pioneered some landmark Australian ‘firsts’ including being the first private hospital in Australia to open an emergency department. Now servicing a growing catchment area of more than 1.5 million, the hospital’s owners Healthe Care recently completed a $40 million redevelopment to significantly upgrade The Valley’s facilities and expand its specialties to deliver a wider range of a acute services including Cardiac and Neurosurgery And while the hospital now has 150 beds (and another 60 under construction), 7 theatres a catheterisation labs, and a new state-of-the-art 10 bed intensive care unit, CEO of The Valley and South Eastern Private Hospitals, Neil Henderson, said “we needed to not only upgrade our facilities but also continue to invest in new technologies”. There is no longer any need for patients to travel to inner city hospitals where travel and access can be time consuming and expensive. The Valley has brought inner city technologies,

and more, to a convenient located position readily accessible to the 1.2m people in the south eastern corridor – virtually at the intersection of the M1 and EastLink. All major specialties are available including cardiothoracic and spinal and cranial neurosurgery (only obstetrics is not offered). The world first technology now available at The Valley Private is revolutionising cardiac surgery, laparoscopic procedures and orthopaedic surgery. Mr Henderson said that while the investment in technology will significantly improve surgical acuity and process, the biggest winners were patients in terms of improved diagnostics, reduced surgical risk, improved recovery time and better care. With Melbourne’s south eastern region forecast to grow exponentially in coming years, master planning behind the redevelopment has ensured The Valley Private can accommodate the increasing demands of the local community, country patients, veterans and the overseas patients it currently services.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Somerville state school upheaval Compiled by Melissa Hodge MESSSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next for which entries will be received by the firm at Frankston or Mr. C.E Gomm, Somerville. *** THE Honorable A. Downward will address the electorate in Mornington at the following places during the month: Hastings 11th, Sorrento 11th, Somerville 21st, Frankston 24th, Mornington 25th, at 8 o’clock. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston Tennis Club committee on Tuesday athletes for matches during the next few weeks were arranged. Today the players hope to journey to Dandenong, the team to be comprised of Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Watson and Uther, Dr Maxwell and Rev. U. A. Kichen. *** NEXT Sunday, November 8th, is the world-wide Temperance Sunday, when all ministers are earnestly requested to preach Temperance sermons in their churches, and give Temperance addresses to the young folk in the schools. This request will be complied with in the Methodist church, Frankston. The Rev Jackson will be the preacher, morning and evening. *** THE annual Sunday School picnic in connection with the Methodist Church in Frankston was held on Tuesday last at Ballam Park. The

day was beautifully fine and a large number of children and adults took advantage of the public holiday to enjoy a days outing in the beautiful park so kindly lent by Mr C. G. V. Williams, J.P., for the occasion. The picnickers were conveyed both there and back by Mr Benson’s cabs. The day was spent with the usual games and sports, incidental to such occasions, which was varied by afternoon and evening refreshments, which were thoroughly appreciated by old and young, and the opinion was freely expressed that a delightful day had been spent. *** MUCH dissatisfaction has been caused by the Education department to parents of children attending the Somerville State school. Through the indifferent attitude of some officials communications are shelved or ignored altogether. Three years ago the school was condemned by the health authorities, and it was decided by the department to erect a new school. After considerable delay in starting the work, the building was completed three months ago, and the head teacher received word to resume work in the new school. No school furniture was provided. The desks from the old school are being used, and over twenty scholars have to sit on the floor. The department promised to send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee has delayed the official opening until all are promised to

send on the necessary furniture, and the school committee is disgusted at the methods with which the department is worked. *** THE November sittings of the Melbourne Court of General Sessions were opened on Monday Judge Johnston presiding. Mr Woinarski, K.C., Prosecutor for the Crown. John J. Fitzpatrick, 19, motor driver, pleaded guilty to the theft of money from Mrs Hunt, of the Bay View Hotel Frankston as a bailee and the theft as agent of a number of bicycles. Mr Abraham (instructed by Messrs Boothby and Boothby) appeared for the accused, and asked that he should be given the benefit of the First Offenders Act. After hearing evidence as to character, his Honor sentenced accused to six months’ hard labor on each charge, concurrent, sentence to be suspended upon accused and his father each entering into a bond of £25 that the accused would be of good behavior for three years. *** THE social arranged by St Pauls Club, in aid of the funds of St Pauls Church was attended by over 120 people on Saturday night last. The first part of the evening was filled with vocal items. The following being the programme: in a Duet Misses Sherlock and Cosskell ; songs by Mrs A. Aitken, and Messrs Bows. C. Ellis, J.C.Garrood, N. Jackson, and Wilson (Kooyong Club). The absence of two members

caused the abandonment of the farce which had been given so successfully three nights previously in Langwarrin. To fill the gap, some of the performers sang more songs, and recitations were given by Mrs Alexander and Mr Myers. After an enjoyable supper a short dance followed with music supplied by Mr C. Elie and Misses Jaeger and McGrath. The National anthem was sung just before midnight *** A MEETING of the Frankston Progress Association was held on Wednesday and a full report of which will appear in our next issue. *** MR Mark Brody of Frankston, has been appointed Substitute Returning Officer for the electoral district of Mornington. This writ will be issued on Monday. Nominations close on 16th. Election day, Thursday 26th November. *** CR Murphy will address the electors in the Tyabb Hall on Tuesday next, and at Somerville on Wednesday, 11th November. The candidate will again speak at Mornington on the 26th November and at Frankston on the 25th (the evening before the election). *** FRANKSTON Choral Society’s grand complimentary concert to Rosa Alba, the peninsula songstress born near your own township, gives credit

to any place as a singer, after singing at the Melbourne concert. “A favorable impression was made by Miss Alba who sang D’ell Aqua Villaince. She is a soprano of exquisite quality and possesses excellent powers of execution.” The Age. *** LAST Sunday was an anniversary day in connection with the United Sunday School at Pearcedale. The afternoon service was conducted by the Rev. Mr Watt, Church of England minister, and that of the evening by a Student (Methodist) from Queen’s College. The singing by the children, under the leadership of Mr Hobbs, was really excellent and deserving of great praise. On Tuesday evening the public meeting was held, the hall being well filled. The chair was taken by the Rev Mr Watt, of Hastings. The programme was varied, full of interest, and instructive, and was very satisfactory to all concerned. *** THE Railway Commissioners have taken steps to investigate the complaints regarding disorderly conduct on the 5.09pm train from Melbourne to Mornington last Saturday, and the alleged failure of certain officials to check the nuisance when it was reported to them. For some time past a special watch has been kept by plain clothes officers detailed for that duty to prevent disorderliness. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 7th November, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Come back Dexter, all is forgiven By Stuart McCullough IS nothing sacred? As it turns out, reality television is not the most reliable means by which to find the love of your life. Who’d have thunk that a process involving televised dates and horticultural beneficence might be anything other than failsafe? Let me be frank (which, at this point, is a lot better than being Blake), I have never watched an episode of The Bachelor. As best I can tell, it’s an awkward mix of Survivor and team selection for the lunch hour cricket match in primary school. Even though the series ended with a marriage proposal, it was impossible not to suspect that, in fact, the whole thing would end in tears. It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for everyone involved. Not just the cast either; I’m talking about everyone remotely connected to the whole miserable experience from the catering staff to the dude who sweeps up after the rose ceremony. It’s difficult enough being rejected. To have it televised to the nation seems unnecessarily cruel, even by the lofty standards of reality television. That’s to say nothing of a premise that involves a large number of women competing for the affections of just one guy. That is not how I remember single life at all. Things have clearly not gone to plan. It’s often said that the heart wants what the heart wants. As it turns out, the heart also wants a front-page story in a national magazine. I’m not sure whether to feel betrayed or a little worried for people who are so eager to lay themselves down on the media’s

sacrificial altar. I shouldn’t judge. After all, who us can unlock the mysteries of the human heart? Fact is, love and TV have had a long association. My personal favourite would have to be The Love Boat where hapless passengers were drawn together by a mutual fear of seasickness, an all-you-can-eat buffet and nightly performances by The Little

River Band. Plus, they had a bloke called ‘Gopher’ who went on to represent Iowa in the United States House of Representatives (really). I can’t imagine a debacle such as the one we so recently witnessed on The Bachelor ever occurring on The Love Boat. For starters, Captain Stubing could have performed the ceremony on the spot. Also, they take a dim view of mutiny

on the high seas. At the first sign of malarkey, someone would have been forced to walk the plank. But unlike the Love Boat, the relationship between television and romance has not all been plain sailing. Attempts to turn real-life relationships into viewing fodder have almost all ended disastrously in the true Hindenburg, ‘oh the humanity’ sense of the word. The television show Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ran for three seasons, which was almost precisely the length of the marriage itself. In Australia, we had Marty and Jess: An Outback Wedding that featured two former Big Brother contestants. They split after less than a year and a half of marital bliss. The evidence is clear: reality TV and romance are the ultimate odd couple. That’s because something as important as love should never be exploited for ratings by reality television. It’s best left to the professionals. By which I mean game shows. Were it not an infringement of intellectual property rights to do so, The Bachelor should take a very big leaf out of the Perfect Match playbook. According to scientific research, music and (possibly) strawberries are the food of love. You’ve got set the mood. Try and hum the music for The Bachelor. Exactly my point – no one can. But if you were to substitute our National anthem with the theme from Perfect Match, I guarantee that everyone, from podium straddling Olympians to new arrivals would know all the words. It’s often claimed that a good sense

of humour is highly desirable in a potential mate. However, like the 38th parallel of the Korean peninsula, The Bachelor is a heavily de-humourised zone. In contrast, Perfect Match was stuffed with laughs, both intentional and otherwise. But whether it was the humour, the sliding wall that delivered so many ‘There must be some kind of mistake’ moments that we, as a nation, can cherish forever, or the spectacular permanent sets that perched on the heads of host and contestant alike, there was much to love. You may think that my lauding of an ancient dating game show is a mere exercise in nostalgia, but you’d be wrong. Perfect Match was about the future. Dexter the Robot remains the most sophisticated piece of technological hardware ever seen on Australian television. One part Dalek and two parts empty ice cream container, when he wasn’t busy coordinating space shuttle launches, Dexter appeared on Perfect Match. Although his role was confined to spitting out stats, he was capable of so much more. Most people don’t realize that Dexter had full weapons capability. Imagine it – the last rose ceremony of the season. The Bachelor, ready to do the honourable thing lest he should feel the sting of Dexter’s futuristic wrath. Forget shotgun weddings. Laser beam nuptials are the way of the future. Excited, I emailed Dexter. The response, however, was as short as it was direct: Dexter and the Bachelor have a compatibility score of 0%. Rejected again. Alas. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Buskfest on its way ROSEBUD Buskfest, on Saturday 8th November, is the first of what will hopefully become an annual busking competition held through the streets of Rosebud. This year 30 performers, mainly musicians, have been selected to participate, competing for the coveted first prize of $1000 cash. Playing throughout the morning from 10am – 1pm, buskers will be located outside shop and cafes all the way from Jetty Road through the town centre with another group located outside Rosebud Plaza and around the shops at the corner of Boneo Road. Throughout the morning the panel of three judges will make their decisions on the originality, talent and crowd appeal of the buskers. The judges are Michael Moss, Steve Bastoni and Ian Pav, three accomplished professionals who are actively involved in the singing, teaching, acting and production industries. The busking competition is the brain wave of local musician

Heidi Luckhurst who has worked alongside Rosebud Chamber of Commerce to make the event a reality. Heidi said she has been blown away by the quality and variety of entries from far and wide. She also expressed sincere appreciation at the support of the sponsors, and for the variety of professional development prizes which can been offered to the lucky winners. There is a category for under 14’s to encourage young talent and with the main category embracing performers of a vast array of ages, both soloists and bands. The announcement of the winners will take place at the RoseGPO Hotel at 2pm on Saturday, with the winners taking away a range of prizes including a full production package, singing lessons, performance gigs and cash, with the overall outstanding entertainer taking out the $1000 cash.

Performance BAZ Luhrmann’s much-loved hit show Strictly Ballroom the Musical will open in Melbourne at Her Majesty’s Theatre on the 17th January 2015. Strictly Ballroom The Musical had its Global Premiere on Saturday 12 April at the Sydney Lyric Theatre. This new production is staged by the original creative team behind the classic 1992 film, including director and co-writer Baz Luhrmann, set and costume designer Catherine Martin, choreographer John O’Connell and co-writer Craig Pearce. Strictly Ballroom the Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer who defies all the rules to follow his heart. This uplifting and courageous tale originated as a stage play that Baz Luhrmann devised with a group of students at the National Institute of Dramatic Art back in 1984. Tickets for Strictly Ballroom the Musical are on sale now from www.ticketek.com.au or telephone 132 849. They will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on April 8th. Tickets 132 849. *** LEGENDARY country singer, Ray Kernaghan, has been named 2014 Australasian Country Music Living Legend at the Slim Dusty Country Music Memories concert in Kempsey. The award honours an artist’s lifetime contribution to country music. The announcement proved a popular choice. For decades, Ray Kernaghan has toured Australia and is the recipient of twelve Gold and two Platinum albums having reached sales in excess of one million copies, a major achievement for an independent recording artist. His first album Me And Louie On The Road (1977) earned four Gold and one Platinum record. He was inducted into Tamworth’s Hands of Fame in 1981. Ray was joined at the announcement by wife, Pam. *** THE Australian Defence Force (ADF) comprises the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). The three services operated more or less

independently until an integrated command structure was established with the formation of the Australian Defence Force on 9 February 1976. The four domestic base rate (70c) stamps were designed by Tim Hancock of the Melbourne-based design studio XSD. The stamp designs are based on the caps and badges of the respective three services, with the fourth stamp depicting the Australian Defence Force Emblem. Associated with the stamp issue is a special prestige cover. The ‘Remember Me to All’ prestige cover includes a facsimile of a pocket book carried by Private John Hector Croft of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during the landing

at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. Croft’s life was saved when an enemy bullet lodged in the pocket book after penetrating his arm. Also included is a facsimile of a letter written by Croft describing the incident. Other products associated with this stamp issue include a miniature sheet, first day cover, stamp pack, booklet of 10 x 70c self-adhesive stamps, set of four maxicards and four designed gutter strips of 10 x 70c stamps. A Century of Service: The Australian Defence Force stamp issue is now available at most Post Offices, via mail order on 1800 331 794 and online at www. auspost.com.au/stamps. Australia Post has given MP News

some prize packs to giveaway containing 1 x first day cover, 1 x stamp pack and 1 x set maxicards. . Send your name and address to: ADF Stamps, C/O MPNG, PO Box 588, Hastings, 3915. *** A TRIVIA night will be held in support of Krystal’s Freedom from Stroke on Saturday 29th November at the Chelsea heights Community Centre, 160 Thames Promenade, Chelsea Heights. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. For more details telephone Krystal on 0455 370 118 or email krystalsfreedom@gmail.com. Facebook: Krystal’s Freedom from Stroke. *** BARBARA Streisand, 72, has showed the pop world that you are never too old to chart with her latest album, Partners, entering the Billboard 200 Chart at No.1. The album features duets with Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, her son Jason Gould and Elvis Presley. It’s the 10th hit album for the singer/ songwriter/actor and director with two Academy Awards and eight Grammys to her name. Born Barbara Joan Streisand in N.Y in 1942 and was spotted at a Greenwich Village club. Streisand became the first person to win an Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and Grammy. She has sold over 68 million records – 13 multi-platinum, 28 platinum, and 47 gold. She was the first woman to direct, write, produce, and sing in a feature film, Yentl. Streisand also holds the record for the highest grossing single concert at 14.6 million. Once married to Elliot Gould and currently married to James Brolin. Her astonishing vocal range has made albums like Guilty massive sellers and recently saw her voted the greatest female vocalist of all time. Her boundless energy and mesmerising charisma have made her a Hollywood superstar. *** THE Production Company has announced additional performances in its season of Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman masterpiece, La Cage Aux

cause of my cheap electricity, thanks to Lord Tony’s scrapping of the evil carbon tax. *** IN fairness I should add Denny has postponed the idea of improving the rail services between Caulfield and Dandenong until after the election; great idea. This can be included with those 2010 proposals on the road and rail links; Rowville and Doncaster, the Southland Station. “It’s all happening”. *** FAMOUS lines: “With the coming of the Second World War, many eyes in imprisoned Europe turned hopefully or desperately toward the freedom of the Americas. Lisbon became the great embarkation point. But not everybody could get to Lisbon directly” (Casablanca)...”It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen” (1984)...”There’s an old joke: Two elderly women are at a Catskill Mountain resort. And one of ‘em says: “Boy, the food in this place is really terrible.’ The other one says: ‘Yeah, I know. And such small portions.” Well, that’s essentially how I feel about life. Full of loneliness and misery and suffering and unhappiness, and it’s all over much too quickly.” (Annie Hall)...“Four beers please” (Homicide). “You can’t park there” (Pharlap). *** I SPENT some eight years in Bon-

beach as a teenager into mid twenties. My sisters still live there. We had pencilled in Northcliffe Lodge Aged Care (great name) if necessary. Alas, they are closing it down, or are they? Where to next, assuming there is a next? Kingston Council CEO John Nevins “People in our facilities understand the disruption when someone has to move elsewhere”. Funny man. Perhaps they will include aged care facilities in the new leasing arrangements of the Quarantine station of Point Nepean National Park? Arthurs Seat? *** SPRING into a long hot Summer. Atmospheric beauty in shorts and neverending legs. As Saint Jerome said “The devil’s power is in the loins”. The absolute joy of little kiddies frolicking in the Woolworths aisles cleverly avoiding my fists. Previous addictions to smoking, alcohol, gambling, ice and obviously sex all under control. “Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’” *** WHY is Michael Caton (Darryl Kerrigan; “The Castle”) urging us to move to The Village Glen, Ti Tree Lodge, Rosebud? Does Michael live on the Peninsula? Has he spent one night at the Village Glen? It could be me, living alone, listening and watching all this rubbish. Now’s the time to detox, others instruct me, or use roll

on painaway? A television monstrosity “A big brother double eviction tonight after the block”? Mein Gott! Am I complaining again? Damn. *** AS a Collingwood supporter many years of biassed reporting and crooked umpires has provided me with a thick skin when times are tough, like now. One learns to look on the bright side no matter what, by nature wondering if things could get worse. Imagine: The Abbott government appointee to the ABC Board, Peter Lewis, could succeed in his possible leg cutting role despite the expected enthusiastic support from Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Add to this the possible financial downfall of Fairfax and bingo...years back in the long dark tunnel, 1890’s style. Brrr. *** WHERE is the democracy in either of our political parties or in the Palmer United mob? I find it difficult to see how they continually shove this “democracy” word down our throats with no evidence to support it, in fact much evidence to the contrary? How can governments create unlimited powers without creating evil? Human nature does not allow it. Never has, never will. *** IT’S fair to say we are all thrilled by the likelihood of Qantas posting a first quarter pre-tax profit, not only

A Grain of Salt THE state election looms with the usual fear tactics; Treasurer Michael O’Brien and Health Minister David Davis, apparently honourable gentlemen, would surely be better supplying us with a list of achievements and policies rather than this constant fear of Labor over-spending. TAFE, ambulances, public transport and the enthusiasm for train lines Mentone to Frankston. The Libs (and Labor) provide an obscure canvass of doubtful promises, obviously busy swapping those USB sticks; nice to be young and deviant. *** YET again I’ve received complaints from readers, complaining I complain too much? I get the message, so I’ll try to be nice. Herewith: I was at Mordialloc recently taking a walk along the beautiful Port Phillip Bay, and lo and behold there was Premier Denny, fishing. I assumed there was an injured fish as is his want, but no, just fishing, relaxing. It happened by chance there were photographers close by, obviously spotting Denny like I did. I felt a warm glow. Bonzer bloke. Okay complainants; feel better now? *** YOU want more? Excellent. My mate Joe Hockey says by paying 40 cents a week more for petrol we are helping create 6000 jobs. Chicken feed Joe mate, and more than happy to pull my weight. In fact I’m well in front be-

In accordance with the requirements of Section 12B of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 a review of the Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme is due to be ďŹ nalised by 31 December 2014. This review is a statutory requirement which involves a relatively high level assessment of the current scheme provisions and opportunities for further general improvement of the Planning Scheme. It is not intended to assess the merits of any site-speciďŹ c proposal for changes to the planning scheme, nor does it replace the process of continuous review and improvement that is undertaken by the Shire.

Buy & Sell in the A draft review document has been prepared having regard to recent changes to all planning schemes at the State government level and the outcomes of previous community consultations.

Jewell ton launches Sharks PROVINCIAL By IT Gully AN unbeaten 111 from former Victorian batting star Nick Jewell saw Sorrento cruise to victory against Mt Eliza on Saturday in MPCA Provincial cricket. The right-handed thrashing machine strode to the crease with his side having lost 2/2. When Anthony Blackwell (62) joined Jewell, the Sorras were 3/48, chasing 229 for the win. Together, Jewell and Blackwell wrenched the game away from the Mounties, getting within a handful of runs for victory with ten overs to spare.

Unfortunately, Blackwell wasn’t able to walk from the field with Jewell at the end, bowled out by Nick Baron. While the Sorras are sitting pretty in the top four after the win, Mt Eliza is in some early season trouble. After three rounds of matches, the Mounties are yet to win a game of cricket. Certainly the underachievers at this stage of the season. For the third time in two seasons, Langwarrin wilted under the pressure of the Mornington pace attack. The Kangas’ bowlers did a great job last week restricting Mornington to 158 in their 80 overs.

However, when it came time for the batsmen to keep up their end of the bargain, they buckled terribly. Only two Langwarrin batsmen made it to double figures, skipper Mark Cooper with 42 and James D’Atri with 26. Mornington quicks Michael Heib and Matt Foon completely dominated the Kangas. Foon finished with five wickets and Heib snared four. Langwarrin was bowled out for 119 in the 70th over. Long Island got the points against Moorooduc and sits on top of the Provincial ladder. The Ducs were bowled out for 103 on the opening day of the match last week and the Islanders were 4/89 in

reply. There wasn’t a lot of need for cricket on day two, the rain playing its part and the game being closed with Long Island leading at 6/130. It was enough for the home side to collect the 12 victory points. Crib Point wasn’t under any pressure against Pines, winning by more than 40 runs. After making 203 on the first day of the match, the Magpies rolled the Piners for 162. Pines’ skipper Ricky Ramsdale was the only batsman to offer any resistance, top scoring with 73. Luke Herrington was the pick of the Magpies’ bowlers with 4/38, while Glenn Barclay snared 3/57.

Baxter got out of jail against Peninsula Old Boys. Reeling at 5/133, chasing 229 for victory, the rains came and the match was abandoned, saving Baxter from probable defeat. In the final match, Rye’s bowlers completed their end of the deal and restricted Heatherhill to 207, handing the visitors a 55 run victory. After making 262 on the first day of the match, Rye, led by skipper Tom Baron with 4/58, made things difficult for the Hills from the outset. Jake Theobald was a shining light for the Hills, scoring an unbeaten 96. Joel Lynch and Leigh Lambert also took two wickets each for the Demons.

Rain causes grief for Blues DISTRICT By IT Gully Hastings is still yet to win a game of cricket this season in MPCA District grade, despite being in a commanding position against Carrum on Saturday. After making an impressive 270 on day one of the clash last week, rain prevented the Blues from revelling in the sweet taste of victory on Saturday. There is no question that if the weather had not influenced the match, Hastings would have been celebrating a rare win on Saturday night. When the game was eventually called off, Carrum needed 102 runs from 19 overs with three wickets in hand. There was no way that this was going to happen. Hastings’ bowlers were on top from the get go with openers Mitch Floyd and Benny Johnson getting the job done. Floyd bowled 16 overs and finished with 2/53 while Johnson bowled 13 overs and had tidy figures of 2/31. It was good to see Carey Sawosz thrown the nugget and allowed to show his craft. Sawosz, a talented all-rounder, bowled a team-high 17 overs and finished with the solid figures of 3/44. However, despite the great bowling from the Blues, Mother Nature had her way and prevented them from picking up the win. Shaun Foster top scored for the Lions with 70, while Dean Polson scored 38. As well as the rain, it was their 71 run partnership that prevented Hastings from winning. New kids on the District block, Red Hill, sit undefeated on top of the ladder after knocking over last year’s grand finalists, Delacombe Park. On the small Delacombe Park ground, the 192 that Red Hill set last week didn’t look like enough. However, Brent Martin bowled 29 overs for the visitors and finished with the match winning figures of 10 maidens, 5/44. Earlier, the home side was cruising at 1/90. However, the Devils lost 7/40. Nick Christides top scored with 48 and Joel Malcolm was next best with 44. Chris Brittain also made 37. Flinders won a very close one against Baden Powell. Last week, the Sharks rolled the Braves for 128, however, were 1/8 overnight. Flinders finally got the required runs, eight wickets down. Mark Maddock top scored for the visitors with 45. Seaford Tigers were humiliated by Boneo. Last week, it appeared that 9/145 in 80 overs was a poor effort from the Pandas, however, it proved to be enough to win the game. The Tigers were bowled out for 118, skipper Matty Meagher was the top scorer with 31. Stewart Mathieson, Jack Fowler and Cam Williams were the multiple wicket takers for the Pandas. Somerville’s 251 proved to be enough runs to get the job done against Main Ridge. Batting second, the Cougars lost 3/43 before Brad Rossborough (60) and Gareth Wyatt were brought together at the crease. When Wyatt went with the score on 81, the target of 250 was always going to be too tough a total to get. Eventually, thanks to 30 from James Abbott, the Cougars were able to scramble to 197. It still wasn’t enough to win.

Rain made it a slog: Hastings had a win within grasp until the rain intervened. Picture: Andrew Hurst Mornington News 4 November 2014

Skye belted by the Stonecats SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully Frankston YCW picked up maximum points in their round three match against Skye, claiming an outright win in Sub District cricket on Saturday. Despite rain playing its part at certain times throughout the match, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Stonecats from bowling out the Burras for a second time. Resuming on 5/98 and leading by 27 runs, the Stonecats finally declared at 9/150, Luke Hutchison adding a further 14 to his overnight tally to finish with 65. Paul Fillipone was superb for the Burras with 5/34. However, when it came time to bowl again, Skye again crumbled, bowled out for 79. Paul Bradley claimed 3/11 to give him match figures of 6/17, while Andrew Kitson picked up 3/26, giving him match figures of 6/41. Jeremy Daniel claimed 4/11 in the second innings to go with his 1/21 in the first. When Skye was eventually bowled out in the second innings, scores were locked at 150 apiece. The Stonecats needed just one over to get the one run required for victory. Rosebud successfully defended its modest 161 against Pearcedale. The Buds’ total certainly didn’t look enough against the Dales, especially when the score was 2/96. However, the visitors lost 7/9 to be bowled out for 122. Adam Bryant claimed 5/35 from 22 overs while

Jason Nagel picked up the other five wickets for 38 runs off 24 overs (13 maidens). Gavin Moore top scored for Pearcedale with 37 and Chris Dew scored 33. Tootgarook easily accounted for Balnarring, winning by 60 runs. The Frogs’ total of 255 last week was always going to be tough to chase down. Other than 49 from David ‘Disco’ Ross, the Saints were never in the hunt. Ballam Park made it back-to-back wins with a solid performance against Tyabb. The Knights are now sitting in the top four after knocking up two wins from their first three games. Finally, after years of being on the deck, they are playing with a bit of confidence. On Saturday, their skipper Ryan O’Connor was sensational. O’Connor finished with 6/50 after having 1/1 overnight from one over. Leigh Parslow claimed 4/52. Tyabb was bowled out for 147, chasing 177 for victory. In the final match, Dromana picked up another win, this time against Carrum Downs. The Hoppers were in the box seat to win the match, having the Cougars 2/29 overnight, chasing 169 for victory. The Cougars were eventually bowled out for 132. Jeff Bluhm was the pick of the Dromana bowlers with 4/46, Craig Dunlop claimed 3/54 from 23 overs and David Timmer snared 2/27. Ryan Lynch top scored for the Yabbies with 32 while Stuart Swift scored 29.

Baden Powell fall short: Flinders were lucky to get away with the win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Rye lands new recruits thanks to coach connections FOOTBALL NEWS Rye has done it again! AFTER losing Ryan, Jake and Luke Semmel in the off season, along with Chris Gleeson, last year’s Preliminary finalists have been able to replace them. The Demons, thanks to some sweet talking from former Richmond player Michael ‘Butch’ Gale, have been able to pick up five players from EFL Club Vermont. Gale played a handful of games for Rye and talked the place up as a good club to play for. New Rye coach Josh Moore also has a connection having played in the EFL for many years.

The headline act in terms of names is former Hawthorn ruckman Simon Taylor. Another one is three time EFL League medal winner Ryan Mullet. Many believe he is a much better player than Ryan Semmel. The Demons have also picked up centre half back Dean Millhouse, forward/defender Kris Bardon and two time league medallist Nathan Henley, who plays midfield. The only piece left in the puzzle is Justin Van Unen, who played with the five new recruits last season. Money will be the only hurdle in seeing Van Unen back in the red and blue next season. Another major coup for the Demons is the appointment of former coach

Steve Ryan, who is returning as runner. Ryan said last week that he was ‘rapt’ to be back at the club. “Having a year or two away from coaching won’t hurt I don’t think,” Ryan said. “I reckon I’ll enjoy getting back onto the ground and stirring things up a bit.” Moore isn’t planning on playing at this stage, which is a real shame given his wonderful ability. He would be sensational for the Demons if he can get out there. In more good news for the Demons, it seems more likely that Rhett Sutton will stay. On 199 games, it would be a shame to see a star of the competition and the club to leave without playing 200.

Finally, Ben Holmes is looking forward to giving his mind and body a break. However, don’t rule out a JuneJuly return.

Buds sign a ripper WHILE Rosebud hasn’t been able to land five new faces, they have picked up Jason Bristow from Subiaco in the WAFL. Bristow, a former Chelsea junior, has played the last five or six season in the WAFL and won the Simpson medal for being the best player on the ground in last year’s grand final.

Eagles wings clipped EDITHVALE-ASPENDALE may have been celebrating the signing of

Graeme Yeats as coach, however, they are losing players. Michael Kremmer, Nick Connellan and star of the competition, Brent Bowden, have all signed with Foster. It is also believed that Brad Tagg may join them.

Sharks in all sorts AS reported some weeks back, Bonbeach has lost a lot of players, including big names such as Ricky Ferraro, Paul Rebeschini and Anthony Raso. There are three who have gone to Hastings, Cal McQueen, Matt Clifford and Shaun Foster. There was a lot of talk that Shane McDonald was heading to Chelsea. Not the case. He is going to Mooroopna.

GRAEME POWELL MAZDA FRANKSTON

3 DAY SAL E

The Number 1 Selling Mazda MASTER DEALER on the Bayside Peninsula

The most advanced car Australia has ever produced just got better SINCE its introduction to the Australian market in May 2013, Holden’s VF Commodore has quickly established itself as a truly world-class vehicle; boasting the technology, quality and driving dynamics to compete with – and beat – Europe’s best. VF remains the most advanced car ever designed and built in this country, setting new benchmarks for the industry and winning hearts and minds across Australia and the world. From setting a world record at the famous Nürburgring in Germany, to launching as Chevrolet’s flagship SS performance sedan in the USA and collecting a swag of industry and media accolades along the way, VF Commodore has proven itself an extraordinary vehicle. VF Commodore commands more than 72 percent of the large car segment in Australia. Now with the launch of the new Model Year 15 (MY15) range, Holden’s Commodore has been refreshed and is set to reinforce its position as Australia’s favourite locally-made car. Boasting a number of striking new features and additions that offer improved technology, an even better drive experience and updated aesthetics for Holden’s VF Commodore sports models. VF Commodore has proven a huge success with sports and luxury buyers alike. Since launch, approximately 37 percent of Commodore buyers have selected the V8 engine option. At one in three customers, this is the highest penetration of V8 engines ever for the Commodore nameplate. The SS nameplate has also been a huge success, with 24 percent of customers – or nearly one in four – ticking the SS box. On the luxury side of the coin, Calais V is one of Holden’s best-performing models with sales up 142 percent year-to-date. With this clear appetite for performance and luxury among customers, Holden’s designers and engineers ensured the people will get more of what they want with the new MY15 range. SS V Redline set a new performance benchmark when it launched in October 2013 and the MY15 update builds on these world-class foundations. Holden engineers have taken inspiration directly from the racetrack with the introduction of steering-wheel-mounted paddleshifters for the automatic transmission on SS V Redline models. Paddle-shifters allow drivers to utilise the ‘Active Select’ gear change function with greater precision without drivers needing to remove their hands from the wheel. Holden engineers have also been hard at work calibrating a revised steering set-up for the acclaimed Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system. The EPS has been re-tuned and recalibrated to enhance on-centre steering feel

and precision. Holden engineers also worked to further improve steering refinement with a new level of smoothness. Safety has long been a Holden hallmark and VF Commodore leads the way with 5-star ANCAP ratings across the range and a host of driver safety technology, including Lane Change Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Forward Collision Alert. Sophisticated style is another signature of the VF range and the MY15 update enhances the SS V Redline’s already muscular lines and dynamic stance with the introduction of new, split-rim-design 19-inch black alloy wheels as standard. A new glossblack rear valance on sport model sedans adds to VF’s sophisticated and dynamic styling. Two striking new colours have also been added to the line-up. The stylish Some Like It Hot Red will be introduced across the entire VF Commodore range, whilst Jungle Green is reserved for the sports models only – giving customers with a thirst for performance the opportunity to stand out from the crowd. A new black roof option will become available on SS V Redline Sedan models in Red Hot, Jungle Green and Heron White early in 2015. Elsewhere in the Commodore range, Holden has listened to customer feedback and both SV6 and Calais receive a full-sized alloy spare wheel as standard, replacing the Tyre Sealant and Air Compressor Kit. Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Gerry Dorizas, said the VF Commodore was a car that keeps getting better, delivering state-ofthe-art sports and luxury driving to Australian motorists. “Although VF is only 17 months old, we are committed to keeping the product fresh and giving customers what they want – this is the essence of any customer-oriented company and our focus on being the most customer-centric brand in Australia,” Mr Dorizas said. “I’ve driven countless cars right around the globe, and the Commodore is a truly world-class vehicle. The success of our Calais and Redline models, in particular, speaks to the strength of our product and Commodore’s consumer appeal. “We’ve listened to our customers and have focused the upgrades where they count, such as the addition of paddle-shifters for SS V Redline automatic transmission to provide an even sportier driving experience. Combined with low running costs and Holden’s outstanding Capped Price Service offer, no other car on sale offers the combination of value, technology, safety and driving pleasure that customers will enjoy in the updated Model Year 15 VF Commodore range,” Mr Dorizas said.

Mornington News 4 November 2014

THE wait for the arrival of All-New Mazda2 is over with Mazda’s latest light car launched today ahead of its 17 November on-sale date. Re-imagined from the ground up, and integrating the elegant lines of Mazda’s award-winning ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language and innovative SKYACTIV Technology, All New Mazda2 has more power yet is more fuel efficient, offers unequalled styling, and is better connected than any of its predecessors. Available as a hatch, All-New Mazda2 comes with two transmission types, the 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic and 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT manual, and offers two 1.5 litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine alternatives. The standard spec puts out 79kW of power and 139Nm of torque, while the higher spec version has 81kW of power and 141Nm of torque, both an improvement on the outgoing model. In a win for buyers, All-New Mazda2 boasts best-ever fuel consumption numbers. The high spec SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre petrol engine with SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission sips as little as 4.9 litres per 100 kilometres, an improvement of 28 per cent over the old model, while the standard spec SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre petrol engine with SKYACTIV-MT manual transmission uses just 5.4 litres per 100 kilometres, an improvement of 15 per cent compared to the outgoing engine.

In a first for the segment, All-New Mazda2 introduces a Head-Up Active Driving Display on the high grade Genki model. In addition, Genki features the next-generation HMI with Commander control allowing safe access to navigation, communications and infotainment including social media via MZD Connect, and i-ACTIVSENSE technology, in the form of Smart City Brake Support, is available as an option across the entire range. Also new for Mazda’s smallest car are four different interior trim options. The Neo, Maxx and Genki each has its own unique look and feel, with a further colour pack option available on the Maxx. The newest generation Mazda2 is available in eight striking colours including brand new Dynamic Blue Mica and Smoky Rose Mica, the popular Soul Red makes its debut on Mazda2, while Aluminium Metallic, Black Mica, Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Gunmetal Blue Mica and Metropolitan Grey Mica round out the palette. With Mazda dealers taking orders now, AllNew Mazda2 comes in three grades, including Neo, Maxx and Genki with prices starting at $16,990 drive away, the best valued All-New Mazda2 ever offered at launch. For further details go to your local mazda dealer.
