The Esplanade a ‘death trap’

PM declines offer to eat cake WHAT do you say when you unexpectedly bump into the Prime Minister Scott Morrison while out shopping in Mount Eliza? You offer him one of your just-bought custard tarts, or course. Ninety-three-year-old Joan – who did not want her surname published - nevertheless said she was thrilled to have a quick chat with Mr Morrison on Friday (5 July) while down the street in Mount Eliza Village. “We had a lovely exchange of words and I wished him well in the election,” she said. While he did not accept the offer of a tart, according to the great grandmother of 15, the prime minister commented on her age-defying health, saying the Mornington Peninsula “must be a great place to live”. Mr Morrison’s lunchtime visit provided an opportunity to do some not-so-subtle campaigning, squatting

on the street to speak to children, patting dogs and even stepping into a hair salon to wash the hair of one of the salon’s staff. Within minutes, he was whisked away by his team to another destination for more meeting and greeting with Dunkley Liberal candidate Sharn Coombes. Dunkley is now held by Labor’s Peta Murphy, who defeated Liberal Chris Crewther at the 2019 federal election. Before Mr Crewther’s election in 2016 Liberal Bruce Billson had for the previous 20 years held the seat. While some on social media were less than polite about the PM’s made-for-media hair washing demonstration, Joan’s grandson Tom said it was sometimes necessary to put politics aside as it had made his grandmother’s day.

THE Esplanade through Mount Martha and south past The Pillars has been described as “a death trap” for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. The issue is not new, with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and the state government debating for years on how to manage traffic and parking on the narrow road around The Pillars and Mount Martha village. The shire last year asked the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning to pay for a study into building a pedestrian boardwalk to The Pillars “based on the outcomes” of a yet-to-be completed report. But Mount Martha resident Andrew Postregna said the time for talking was over. He said that since moving to the areas 13 years ago, he and his wife had seen an increase in traffic, cyclists and pedestrians around the village and The Pillars, and had witnessed “countless” accidents and nearmisses. “I'm sure one day there will be a fatality and maybe only then will the council or government do something about it,” Mr Postregna said. “Reducing the speed limit is not the answer but improving the road and access to The Esplanade and Pillars is the answer.” Mr Postregna suggested widening The Esplanade between Mount Martha village to Safety Beach to cater for cyclists, and a continuous, dedicated bike lane in both directions from Mornington to Portsea. “A boardwalk from Mount Martha to The Pillars would also cater for pedestrians who walk along The Esplanade to get there,” he said.

“In the short term a quick fix would be to trim the shrubs ... [to take] pedestrians off the road and give them space to walk along the tight shoulder.” The narrowness and danger of the road was highlighted last week when a stretch limo driver stopped and blocked traffic near The Pillars and was fined by police. Over summer police and shire local laws officers are kept busy booking motorists parked in no standing areas or banked up opposite double lines near the well-known cliff-jumping spot. Despite this, it seems unlikely any changes are going to come soon. Vince Punaro, executive director Metro South-East, Department of Transport, said the department was monitoring The Esplanade in Mount Martha, and working with the shire “to ensure it remains safe”. “All road users have a responsibility to ensure safety on our roads, we urge all road users to share the road, be patient and give each other space”. The road was too narrow for bike lanes. Under Victoria's mandatory minimum passing laws, motorists must leave a minimum one-metre distance when passing cyclists along this road, where the speed limit is 60kph. Mr Punaro said roadside maintenance by the department included vegetation management, litter collection and graffiti removal. “However, The Esplanade is considered an urban roadside, and as such, the roadside vegetation is the responsibility of the [shire council},” Mr Punaro said. “Therefore, any decision about a boardwalk would also be a council decision.” The shire was contacted for comment but did not respond before deadline.

Warning about dogs on beaches Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au EVERYONE loves to be at the beach in summer, but the four-legged friends of some beachgoers are giving authorities and other users a headache. Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is reminding dog owners who come to enjoy the peninsula’s beaches that they must follow the rules surrounding dogs or face being fined. The issues are leading to unrest in some coastal communities, with some dog owners ignoring or misunderstanding the regulations. Sarah Nelson, of Dromana, said she avoided going to her beach at busy times because of the many dogs running around off leash and their owners not picking up dog poo. “I like dogs, but at the beach they run around and get excited, go to toilet on the sand and charge at people. It can be intimidating,” she said. “Not only that, I have seen dogs get aggressive toward other dogs and I think it’s only a matter of time before a dog attacks a person. “Only two weeks ago in Dromana near the pier a large dog off leash seriously attacked a little dog being walked by its owners and seriously injured the poor thing. “Imagine if that little dog had been a child or anyone who couldn’t defend themselves?” Following a call for more dog beaches on the peninsula last year, social media was flooded with posts about the excrement that dogs often left on beaches, and the damage caused to the environment. The council’s community safety and compliance manager, Shannon Maynard, said most dog owners were responsible and did

the right thing. “But unfortunately, some owners disregard the rules and let their dogs off leash in an on-leash area or allow them into a prohibited area,” she said. All dogs in a public place or reserve on the peninsula must be kept under effective control at all times with a leash held by the owner and attached to the dog. The only exception is where the council has declared a reserve or public place a designated leash free area or an area prohibited to dogs. Ms Maynard said dogs can only be at beaches before 9am and after 7pm during daylight savings hours, but always on leash. Beaches are not designated dog-free unless signed as such. Ms Maynard said even when a dog is in a designated leash free area, the owner must carry a leash and remain in voice or hand control and within sight of the dog at all times. “Our community safety officers patrol all shire-managed beaches and most beaches managed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning’s committees of management,” she said. “If one of our officers observes any offence during their patrol, they will take enforcement action, such as issuing a warning or an infringement notice.” There are a number of council-managed, leash-free beaches on the peninsula, however none of the state-government managed beaches are leash-free. All dog owners must pick up after their dogs, even on dog beaches, as required by law. Information on leash free areas, including beaches, can be found on the shire’s website.

Patience runs out as drivers ignore road barriers priority to spend $2.5 million on east-west traffic, even if it is federal government money? “Of even greater concern is the fact that this road has been closed to traffic all of 2021, and remains closed, when it was supposed to be completed in June 2021.” He said he could imagine the public outcry if other roads like Bungower were closed for one week, “let alone 12 months”. The eastern section of Bentons Road opened briefly before Christmas but was closed to traffic again shortly after for the installation of crash barriers. Mr Jarbie said when he tried to access the road in January and saw it was closed again he called the council but could not get answers. “They put me through to infrastructure [department] but the person who answered didn’t know anything and said, ‘I’m just on the desk’,” he said. “This is a major road link between Derril Road and the highway, and I just can’t understand why they would shut it. Why not open it and just reduce the speed, you never see more than one or two people working on it, and they’re often just standing there talking. “They’ve got no consideration for people who need to use the road and now have to either use the dirt road option to get where they want to go or go wandering around the roads.” In a statement, the shire said 2021 had been “a challenging year and construction was interrupted and delayed for several reasons including COVID-19 working restrictions, storm damage, wet weather and availability of materials”.

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au LONG term work on a section of Bentons Road, Moorooduc has exhausted the patience of drivers and residents who are driving along the closed-off road after more than a year of disruption and diversions. Mornington Peninsula Shire announced early last year it would complete the third and final stage of the Bentons Road upgrade in July 2021. That date was later extended to December 2021, but the latest estimate is now sometime this month, although exactly when is unclear, and government websites list March 2022 as the completion date Residents Scott Jarbie said he was furious at the length of time drivers and residents had been inconvenienced and frustrated that the works had required the road to be closed rather than temporary adjustments such as single lanes or reduced speeds. “I refuse to listen, and I’ll use it, I’ve seen several cars just drive through, what are they going to do, shake their heads as you drive past … enough is enough,” he said. The upgrades are part of the federal government’s roads to recovery program and the final stage of Bentons

WITH the deadline to complete works on a part of Bentons Road, Moorooduc having come and gone motorists are ignoring signs and using the road anyway. Picture: Supplied Road involves improving the section of between Moorooduc Highway and Derril Road. Mr Jarbie said it was “ridiculous” to close the road to traffic as it was a major east-west link. Another resident, Ken McBride, questioned the cost of the $2.5 million upgrades, when other roads such as Bungower have not had that investment. “I wonder what the people stuck in traffic on Bungower Road think when they see that $2,500,000 was spent on the eastern end of Bentons Road, a comparatively quiet road where traffic counts would be interesting and hard to support the expense,” he said. “How could that stretch of road have been the highest

Former UK PM for lunch PENINSULA Liberal Party members are being invited to a $500 a head lunch with former British prime minister Theresa May. Ms May, who last week joined a growing chorus of fellow Conservative Party MPs calling for the resignation of current Prime Minister Boris Johnson, has been an MP since 1997. The lunch with Ms May starts at midday on Sunday (13 February) at Peppers Moonah Links Resort, Fingal. An auction to raise money for the Liberals will also be held at the lunch. Bookings can be made at Trybooking or by emailing events@nepeanliberals.org or calling Elizabeth Woolcock on 0404 058 649. Meanwhile, the Liberal Party is yet to choose its candidate for the state seat of Nepean narrowly held by Labor’s Chris Brayne. The three candidates – Sam Groth, David Burgess and Elizabeth Miller – were scheduled to speak at a “meet the candidates” function at Safety Beach Sailing Club on Wednesday (9 February). The successful candidate will be announced on 22 February.

Energy measures HOME energy kits available to borrow from Mornington Peninsula Shire libraries can help determine how much energy a house uses and where there is room for improvement. The kits contain the following tools: energy saving thermometer; mini non-contact thermometer; water flow measuring cup; and a PowerMate lite energy meter. The “tools” can be used to find out which appliances use most power, where homes are losing or gaining heat and how many litres of water are used use each minute. The mini non-contact infrared thermometer measures the temperature of surfaces such as walls and windows. Use the energy saving thermometer to measure the hot water and fridge temperatures.

Sight set on Everest summit

Picture: Gary Sissons

Hang glider injured A MAN in his 40s sustained lower body injuries after a hang gliding incident at Flinders on 31 January. The man was air lifted to The Alfred Hospital in a stable condition. It is believed the man fell about 10 metres to the ground after an accident while in the air, just before 5pm. Flinders is a popular spot for hang gliders and paragliders with gliders able to launch over the coastal escarpment and land on Flinders beach.

Aid extended THE Southern Peninsula’s Food for All Christmas Appeal raised $47,076. “This was a wonderful result,” vicepresident Gerry Edwards said. “Twenty-five community groups

and businesses, together with individuals, made up this figure and a very large number of high-quality toys were also donated. “Thanks to the generosity of our supporters we were able to financially assist 366 families and individuals well as giving a large bag of new toys to 429 children. “The cash donations also provided us with sufficient funds to begin our 2022 weekly emergency food-aid program.” Food for All is a volunteer-run nonprofit organisation formed in 1991 to meet the need for emergency food relief, which emerged from poverty forums conducted by the former Flinders Shire.

FIFTY-four-year-old Bobby Bajram has set his sights higher than most since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 13, so it’s not surprising to people who know him that nothing will stop him climbing Mount Everest. Against the advice of his doctors, and knowing of the deadly risks, Mr Bajram is pushing ahead with his plan to climb 8840 metres to the summit and will head to Nepal in March next year. “Look, have a crack I say, I believe you have to push yourself and ever since I was told I had MS I have wanted to get to the top of the world,” he said. Not only battling MS-related mobility issues, Mr Bajram is legally blind and will require a team of 30 leaders, guides and medical experts to help him climb the steep terrain. Fuelled by determination and a never-give-in attitude, Mr Bajram has inspired many communities to follow his journey. He has a global following through social media, has appeared on talk shows around the world and is currently talking with international reporters about an article for Germany’s national newspaper Bild. His enthusiasm for life and having a “crack” is infectious, and the energy and effort he puts into following his dreams seems endless. Despite being confined to a wheelchair for months at a time and bedridden with 24-hour pain, when his health allows Mr Bajram follows a punishing schedule of gym work in Mornington six days a week and is a regular at the 1000 Steps memorial

BOBBY Bajram includes regular workouts in his preparations for tackling Mount Everest. Picture: Gary Sissons walk in the Dandenong Ranges. In addition, he has already climbed three of the world's highest mountains, including Mera Peak, Mount Kala Patthar and Mt East Lobuche, as well as Base Camp, and feels confident of an Everest "success". “I have one of the best Everest guides there is, and he told me ‘look, it you have an MS attack on the mountain, or you get sick in any way, we will bring you straight down'," Mr Bajram said. "But if I give it my best shot and I have a crack, that's ok with me, that's what I want people to know, trying your best is still succeeding."

While staying fit helps Mr Bajram deal with the challenges of MS, there are times every few months when he can’t even get out of bed and is riddled with pain. “At the moment it feels good to be up and about, and I have to stay positive…I have to throw everything at this and just suck it up,” he said. Mr Bajram is only half way to his Mount Everest money raising goal and has set up a Bobby Bajram Mount Everest Facebook page where people can follow his journey.

NEWS DESK KEEPING balance can be tricky, although that’s part of the fun when learning on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP), but instructors Mark and Denise Renouf encourage weather checks before heading out for a day on the bay. Picture: Gary Sissons

Boats in bays towed to safety VOLUNTEER rescue services have been busy this summer keeping people safe on the water. Last Sunday week a luxury, 12-metre boat had to be towed from the Hovell Pile off Rosebud to Martha Cove and, along the way, a distressed paddleboarder had to be rescued and taken to Rosebud.

On Saturday morning Coast Guard Western Port volunteers towed a boat, above, from waters off Somers after the occupants got into trouble. Emergency services say it's a reminder to boat users to check boat seaworthiness before venturing out on the water.

Standing up for safety

STAND-UP paddle boarders are being advised to check weather conditions before venturing into the water around the Mornington Peninsula. Last month weeks ago, two teenage paddle boarders had to be rescued at Mount Eliza after being blown nearly five kilometres offshore, and a 12-year-old boy at Frankston had to be rescued after he was unable to paddle his board back to shore. There have also been incidents at Dromana and Rosebud, including on Friday (21 January) when five people in a blow-up boat and paddle boards took to the water in windy conditions and could not get back to shore. Mount Eliza paddle board instructor Mark Renouf said entering the water on a SUP without a good understanding of weather conditions could quickly lead to trouble. “There are a few rules around paddle boarding, but number one is to make sure the weather conditions are right,” he said. “People don’t realise just how far you can end up offshore, especially with an easterly wind.”

Mr Renouf said people new to paddle boarding would often go out and buy a cheap, poor-quality paddle board without getting advice, and that could lessen their enjoyment of the sport and jeopardise their safety. “One of the most common things I see is a paddle board that’s not properly inflated, and so can’t be controlled like it should be,” he said. Mr Renouf said paddle boarding was one of the fastest growing water sports and one of the most exciting, if done safely. “They are a lot of fun, I used to have a kayak myself, but SUPs give you a better view of what’s around you and what’s in the water,” he said. President of Victorian association SUP-VIC, George Thomas, said it was recommended that beginner paddle boarders had some lessons to get them started, or joined paddle boarding groups to share skills and knowledge. “Lessons are a great idea before you even buy one so you have the basics, and it is a safe and enjoyable thing to do,” he said.

No action on ‘predicted’ beach erosion Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au BEACH users say their calls for immediate action to halt erosion at one of Mornington’s popular family swimming beaches are being ignored, while authorities say erosion is a natural part of “climate change”. Despite years of complaints, and evidence suggesting Shire Hall Beach is literally disappearing, a group campaigning for urgent remedial works say authorities have not undertaken “due diligence” and the beach has become “dangerous”. Alannah Batho said her mother recently broke her leg at the beach while attempting to step from the family’s beach box on to the sand below, which has receded over the past few years to expose a rocky surface. Ms Batho and others believe the erosion has been caused by Parks Victoria’s construction of a 123 metre wave screen at nearby Mornington harbour a decade ago as part of a safe harbour project for moored boats. An environmental effects statement for the proposal found that "coastal processes will change as a result of the wave screens and reduction of wave action. Changes will be evident through an increase in beach erosion from Shire Hall Beach and accretion onto Scout Beach and little change to beach morphology at Mothers Beach". Modelling by consultants Water Technology indicated that the construction of the safe harbour was expected to result in the annual redistribution of about 1000 square

ALANNAH Batho and Alan Timms were among a group of people at Shire Hall Beach last week campaigning to have something done about erosion at the once-popular swimming spot. Picture: Gary Sissons metres of sand from Shire Hall Beach to Scout Beach, with a reliability of such sand movement ranging from 0.5 to 2 times the volume. Although the studies were done on larger wave screens that were originally part of the safe harbour proposal, Ms Batho, a lawyer, says it is “evident” that wave screens impact nearby beaches. She says that despite knowing this,

there were no conditions attached to the wave screen permit for either Mornington Peninsula Shire Council or the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to maintain the condition of the surrounding beaches. “The beach has now become so degraded that I have begun taking my one-year-old daughter, Bonnie, to other beaches because it is not safe or

enjoyable for babies and little kids,” Ms Batho said. “I have seen parents digging trenches through the rocks so their kids can get out to the sand for swimming … I have also seen little kids stuck on one side of the rocks, crying, and their parents struggling to reach them.” Ms Batho said letters had been sent to DELWP, Parks Victoria and the council by residents and the Morning-

ton Environment Association. “Unfortunately, these bodies have refused to do anything to rectify the issue … I have copies of many of these letters and emails and the responses from the relevant bodies are very lacklustre,” she said. Solutions to the erosion suggested in the safe harbour EES included monitoring the beaches, annual sand replenishment, and building an artificial reef. A council spokesperson said the shire was aware of the erosion at Shire Hall Beach and had alerted Parks Victoria, which works in conjunction with DELWP. But DELWP’s regional director Port Phillip, Stephen Chapple, said the erosion was a “naturally occurring process that affects many parts of Victoria’s coastline” “Coasts are dynamic environments that can change rapidly, they are impacted by storms that are increasing in severity and frequency due to climate change,” he said. “Shire Hall Beach is located at the eastern end of a heavily modified embayment. The beach partly overlays a rocky reef that is periodically exposed and buried as sand moves with seasons and weather events. “Shire Hall Beach has not been identified as a priority for the Port Phillip beach renourishment program.” In the past three years the state government has spent $8 million in beach renourishments across Port Phillip, with the emphasis on “protecting critical public infrastructure”.

HUGO the St Bernard, left and, above, the metal plates in his leg, has been given a new lease on life thanks to the combined efforts of Pet Medical Crisis and Peninsula Vetcare, Mornington.

The high cost of a dog’s flights of fancy Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au WATCHING a dog leap high into the air after a bouncing ball or snap a thrown stick as it races along at full gallop is a sight to behold. But the agility and speed of dogs can be their downfall. Their bodies can be twisted in unnatural ways as they maintain eye contact with the ball and misjudging a protruding stick can lead to nasty gashes or, worse, a stabbed eye or mouth. Dogs and other domestic animals are road trauma victims and sustain injuries in many different ways and circumstances. While most injuries can be treated by veterinarians, the cost is not cheap. Sometimes the cost is the deciding factor in whether the animal lives or dies. The stark reality of pet owners being placed in that position was brought home to Jennifer Hunt in 2009, when her seagull-chasing eightyear-old border collie Jed ruptured three discs in his spine at Fishermans Beach, Mornington. Operations over the next three years cost $30,000, but enabled Jed to live another nine years, albeit with the aid of a special sling. Although she was able to pay the bills, that experience and discussions with vets made Ms Hunt aware of the real costs of pet injuries. One year after Jed’s spinal injuries she founded Pet Medical Crisis (PMC) to help pensioners and the

Staying afloat: Jennifer Hunt and supporters of the Pet Medical Crisis at the charity’s inaugural Australia Day “float” at Fisherman Beach, Mornington, where border collie Jed was injured13 years ago. Picture: Supplied disadvantaged pay their vet’s bills in urgent and emergency situations. “We were so fortunate to be able to afford his treatment and keep Jed with us. Without funds, the only option would have been euthanasia,” Ms Hunt said. But there are other strictly human sides to avoiding euthanising animals: the effect it can have on vets and an animal’s owners. “The impact on vets is they have the second highest suicide rates of professionals in Australia,” Ms Hunt said. “The impact on pet owners is devastation, isolation and mental health crises.”

PMC last week helped its 1000th case. One month before that, case number 961 was able to limp out of Peninsula Vetcare, Mornington with the prospect of a full recovery. “St Bernard Hugo Johnson was hit by a car and left on the side of the road with a broken leg. His single mum, from Tyers in eastern Victoria, was devastated and sought assistance from Pet Medical Crisis,” Ms Hunt said. After veterinary advice from Dr Chris Franklin, Ms Hunt swung into action, sourcing the metalware needed to help Hugo from Knight Benedikt, $1500 from Knose Petcare and $1000 from PMC’s own reserves.

PMC vets pet owners to ensure they meet the criteria - including receiving Centrelink benefits - of being in “necessitous circumstances” and vets “typically discount their fees”. “Because PMC alleviates the financial strain on disadvantaged clients, we also ensure vets get paid and the stress felt on both the owner and vet is reduced,” Ms Hunt said. “We have been approached to assist in doing more in this space with two vets having recently suicided due to owner abuse of them. “Vets have to kill saveable and loved pets belonging to pensioners and disadvantaged people when they

don’t have funds. “Imagine killing a dog with a broken leg while the owner pleads for their life? A therapy cat for a disability pensioner has a blocked bladder and gets put down because they don’t have enough money to pay for surgery.” Ms Hunt said all vets could apply for money from PMC to help “a pensioner or disadvantaged person whose pet is in danger of being unnecessarily euthanised”. “Once a plan of care is known and it is established that the owner has exhausted all avenues of funding and is in dire need of assistance, the vet is asked to reduce the cost of care to ‘at-cost’ to see if the owner is able to then proceed,” she said. “The owner must commit to putting in as much as they are able and, if not sufficient to get their pet over the line, then PMC is consulted to see if we can assist in bridging the gap between ‘at-cost’ veterinary care and what the owner can afford.” PMC has two employees on “modest salaries”, Ms Hunt and a partnerships manager, and relies on donations and business support. The coronavirus pandemic has forced the cancellation of several money-raising events. “However, were able to do a couple of photo-booth fundraisers before Christmas and two Bunnings barbecues in 2021 - with one at Mornington Bunnings early in 2021 breaking records,” Ms Hunt said.

Ashes to forests: eco-friendly burials

Memorial rules under review

Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au THE businessman behind the reincarnation of an old golf course in Somerville to a memorial botanic gardens says it is time to rethink what goes in the ground and look at more eco-friendly ways of honouring the dead. Warren Roberts, pictured, is behind a company that combines science and nature to grow memorial gardens under a conservation agreement using detoxified cremated ashes that guarantee a “green” future for the deceased. In what is promoted as a “world first”, the company opened a Living Legacy memorial park 10 years ago in Western Australia, converting land into a conservation park that protects endangered animals and where families can visit and give back to the environment. Last year it bought the Bembridge golf course in Somerville, turning it too into a memorial park that instead of traditional coffin burials offers people a chance to “come back as a tree or flowers”. The nine-hole golf course, 13.79 hectare property, which included a licenced cafe, function centre and one bed, one bath accommodation onsite, was placed on the market for the first time in 60 years in 2019. The land, which was under green wedge zoning, was a market garden before becoming Bembridge golf course in 1995. Mr Roberts said the idea for memo-

Picture: Yanni rial gardens came to him after feeling devastated after the death of his best friend. “I just felt lost and didn’t know how to grieve,” he said. “It occurred to me that nature allows us to truly connect to life and eternity, and there is an environmental benefit

in that we don’t put anything unnatural into the soil because there are no coffins or headstones, and the ashes are treated to remove the toxins. “Our masterplan is 7000 trees planted into beautiful forests of jacarandas, magnolias, flames and ginkgos, so that mourners can visit and honour

their loved ones in a unique way in a beautiful environment.” Mr Roberts says although they may not be for everyone, memorial plantings allow both the deceased and mourners to “connect with nature and allows nature to be part of the healing process”.

MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is considering allowing families and friends to erect memorials to their deceased loved ones in public places. The shire is asking for public comment on the temporary roadside memorials of crosses and flowers as well as more permanent structures, such as benches, trees and art works. A news release issued by the shire stated that memorials provided “comfort in having a place to visit” and that public memorials were seen as “a tribute to someone who meant a lot to them”. In the lead-up to updating public memorials policy the shire is inviting comment on: n Should members of the community have the opportunity to place a memorial in a public open space. n What types of memorials should be considered as the shire is proposing to limit memorials to bench seats, trees, public art work and war memorials. n Should roadside memorials should be limited to flowers and crosses or other religious symbols? The deadline for comments on the memorials policy is Tuesday 22 February online at mornpen.vic.gov.au/publicmemorials or pick up a survey form at one of the shire’s customer service centres.

NEWS DESK New playspace on foreshore

Foundation works for healthy environment

A NEW world of play and imagination is open in Dromana at the George A Bishop Reserve. The revitalised reserve includes a new playground with basket swings, shark rockers, turnover bars and spinners to keep youngsters entertained for hours. Mornington Peninsula Shire received an $80,000 grant from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, and added a further $80,000 for the design and delivery of the project. Located at Point Nepean Road at the Dromana foreshore, the shire says the upgraded playground design is in keeping with the character of the existing surrounding. Playground features include: n Playground equipment for all abilities with wheelchair access. n Landscaping to help cool the playground with shade trees. n Native plants for extra greenery. n Organic soft fall surfacing to help protect against bumps and bruises. n Access to and from the playground with new paths. The mayor Cr Anthony Marsh said “revistaliation” of George A Bishop Reserve would bring new life to the area and promote visitor numbers and welcome a variety of different park users.

ONE of the Mornington Peninsula’s bushland jewels and an important biolink for local flora and fauna needs a helping hand to ensure it remains an environmental and recreational resource well into the future. The Devilbend Foundation – a group of volunteers dedicated to maintaining the 422-hectare Devilbend Reserve, in conjunction with Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Parks Victoria and Devilbend Landcare – is asking for more volunteers. Spokesperson Marnie Fitzsimmons said the focus of caring for the reserve was keeping it weed and rubbish free, and maintaining it as a wildlife corridor, which was challenging in an era of rapid residential development and population growth. The reserve is one of the region’s most important bird habitats and, in addition to regular weeding and clean-up sessions, there are monthly bird counts held there and at the adjacent Woods Reserve. But with the impact of COVID-19 on volunteer numbers, and the expected attrition rate of the mostlyelderly volunteers, the group needs to boost its numbers. “We haven’t been able to do much in recent year or so because of COVID, so there is a bit of work to do but even fewer people to do it,” Ms Fitzsimmons said. “Many of our lovely volunteers are elderly, which is great, but we also

need some younger adults who are reasonably fit and active.” Ms Fitzsimmons said the reserve had experienced an increase in the number of people using it during COVID, because the five kilometre travel limit had encouraged locals to explore closer to home. “Lots of people are using the reserve these days, but they also leave their rubbish and that creates an added problem for people trying to maintain it,” she said.

According to Landcare groups, there is only 18 per cent of native vegetation left on the peninsula, with the reserve acting as an important habitat refuge for wildlife. The reserve also includes the largest inland water body on the peninsula and one that is becoming increasingly popular with groups of young recreational users. The lowland forest, reservoirs and shoreline provide habitat and recreational space, with people flocking to

the reserve in increasing numbers to enjoy picnics, fishing photography, birdwatching and water activities. But Ms Fitzsimmons said lack of government money for the reserve made volunteers even more important in ensuring the essential natural environment was protected and maintained. Anyone who would like to volunteer with the Devilbend Foundation should email Ms Fitzsimmons at marniefitz1@gmail.com

7MATE, 9.45pm

As resistance ﬁghter John Connor, Christian Bale plays second ﬁddle to Sam Worthington (left), who is easily the best thing about this visceral thrill-ride. Director McG (Charlie’s Angels) does a surprisingly solid job upholding James Cameron’s legacy. Anton Yelchin tackles the pivotal role of a young Kyle Reese and, strangely, Helena Bonham Carter pops up as a sickly scientist. It’s as merciless as the murderous machines themselves.

MUSTER DOGS

ABC TV, 7.40pm

After watching this delightful series, it’s plain to see that the humble dog is the true king of the cattle. Across three mesmerising episodes, following farmers and their new kelpie puppies, five playful pups have transformed. From newborns to confident and skilled muster dogs, it has been a fascinating (and gorgeously shot) ride, concluding tonight. The one-year-old pups have all gathered with their owners to complete their final assessment, with one pup a star pupil.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT

NINE, 7.30pm

You declared that you wouldn’t be watching this latest series of melodramatic matrimony, but after one glimpse of the eye-catching cast your resolve miraculously dissolved like a wayward dose of botox. This season, the brides and grooms are as outspoken as ever. It’s sassy, superﬂuous TV at its lowbrow best. Tonight, resident sex therapist Alessandra Rampolla’s intimacy week begins with some couples struggling to connect. Whether you tune in for the slim chance of a love story, or the thrill of the petty squabbles, there’s something for everyone.

There are all sorts of players in detective dramas, from petty criminals, to untrustworthy relatives and dodgy businessmen. But when you’re searching for the most entertaining type of murder mystery character, it’s undoubtedly the psychic. This week, Midsomer Murders fans are probably inwardly tap-dancing in delight at the premise of the longrunning series latest murder puzzle, “The Witches of Angel’s Rise”. Featuring psychics, occult followers and mediums, it has spooky covered. After a woman’s body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of a psychic fair, DCI Barnaby (Neil Dudgeon, left) and DS Winter (Nick Hendrix) are plunged into the spiritual world.

A petition has been started, and around 50 residents attended a public meeting at McCrae on Friday (21 January) to discuss traffic management ideas, including the designation of a McCrae local precinct, and reducing speed limits to stop drivers using local roads as a rat run. One of the organisers, Robyn Galloway, said residents were disappointed that an invitation to attend had been ignored by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council officers, and that the timing of the meeting over the holidays meant other invitees were also absent, including Nepean MP Chris Bayne, who sent his assistant, and the three Seawinds Ward councillors. “We had a reply from Cr Antonella Celi that we had her support but that she couldn’t attend, but we have had noting from the shire,” Ms Galloway

said. “However, we had lots of ideas thrown around at the meeting, so it was still successful. “Everyone agreed that the issue is that the once-quiet streets have become thoroughfares.” Ms Galloway said her friend’s death in December might have been avoided with better traffic management in the area. “Our friend and neighbour, just one house from her own, was hit by a car in Catherine Street … she was walking to her home but due to street vegetation, was forced to walk in the gutter,” she said. “With the increase of through traffic accessing the local streets from Nepean Highway to avoid traffic lights and many more holiday pedestrians, residents believe that the streets in this area of McCrae have become unsafe.” Another of the petition organisers, Anne-Maree Townsend, said the uneven and undulating surface of one side of Catherine Street meant pedestrians with walking aids, people pushing prams and pushers or shopping buggies, and children, were “all at risk” by having to walk on the road. Ms Galloway said designating the areas as a precinct would accord McRae the same traffic management

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

as that of Dromana and Rosebud. Residents are also asking for speed limits to be reduced to 40kph “at entry of all streets leading from Nepean Highway”, stop signs to replace some give-way signs, vegetation reduction to improve driver visibility, parking limited to one side of Catherine Street, and speed humps considered for some streets. The shire’s strategic and infrastructure planning manager Katanya Barlow said was still waiting on confirmation from Victoria Police as to the cause of last year’s crash and “whether road conditions were a factor”. “In the meantime, we are assessing whether any further vegetation maintenance is required, and will also undertake traffic surveys to confirm the level and speed of traffic using local streets in the area,” Ms Barlow said. “We will then consider if further traffic management assessments ar warranted for this area. “The road safety initiatives mentioned in Dromana and Rosebud are part of the state government’s Safe System Road Infrastructure Program, recognising these areas are among the shire’s highest crash risk residential areas.”

THE days of nude bathing at Sunnyside Beach, Mount Eliza could be numbered, with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council this week discussing the pros and cons of allowing the controversial practice to continue. The council is proposing to survey Mount Eliza residents in March to gain feedback regarding Sunnyside Beach and their experiences (“Call for fresh look at nude beach” The News 22/11/21). Results from the survey will inform a decision regarding future use of the foreshore, and whether the council supports a request to the state government to remove the clothing optional status of Sunnyside. The move comes under the council and wellbeing banner of “A healthy natural environment and well-planned townships” and follows years of claims about lewd behaviour at and near the nude beach. A report on the agenda by coastal planner Gerard Cook noted that the 2004 Mount Eliza Foreshore Reserve Coastal Management Plan included the statement that Sunnyside Beach and car park “have become an area attracting people engaging in illegal, inappropriate activities”. “Anecdotal evidence suggests drug use and sexual activities take place regularly at the car park and beach during all times of the day and night resulting in hazardous rubbish such as

syringes being left on the beach and within the carpark, and surrounding bluffs,” the report stated. “These activities impact on the enjoyment of the beach for local users, such as Camp Manyung visitors who utilise Sunnyside Beach for recreational activities. “The local community has an interest in seeing this area managed to promote a clean and safe environment for the local and wider community in the future.” The issue will be discussed at tonight’s (Tuesday 8 February) public council meeting.

Coin toss an on-court win

VOLUNTEERS worked at Mothers Beach, Mornington last week to keep rubbish from ending up in the bay.

No lack of rubbish for volunteers VOLUNTEERS collected 32 kilograms of rubbish at Mothers Beach, Mornington last week, removing mounds of discarded waste that would have otherwise ended up in Port Phillip. Organiser Gary Daley said 21 volunteers joined the clean-up day held by Beach Patrol Mornington, with many younger people showing a passion for keeping the environment clean and safe. All up, there were 36 plastic bottles, 54 glass

bottles, more than 300 food wrappers, 38 cans, eight masks, 56 Tetra packs and paper cups, 50 nurdles, three gas cylinders, plus hundreds of other non-biodegradable waste items. Mr Daley said it had been fantastic to see so many members of the community involved, and the group hoped that repeating the “keep our beaches clean” message would eventually lead to less rubbish ending up in the environment.

STEPPING on to Road Laver Arena to toss the coin during the Australian Open would be a knee-trembling act for most young tennis fans, but Mount Eliza’s Jackson Burton took his prematch coin toss duties in his stride. Jackson,11, was selected to toss the commemorative coin to start the round two match between Garbine Muguruza and Alize Cornet. While his fame was literally over in seconds, Jackson said it was “pretty exciting” to be on the court with the crowd and players looking on.

He made it look easy but says that was a lot of practice before the game. Jackson was originally selected to toss the coin last year, but due to COVID the coin tossing was cancelled.

Inquiry needed into adoption of amended rules Mornington Peninsula Shire’s CEO John Baker left me astounded when he stated that "there is no evidence to suggest that either myself or Ms [Amanda] Sapolu, the shire’s governance officer, acted inappropriately” (“Shire CEO ‘concerned’ over ratepayer group’s allegations” Letters 25/1/22). It was these very officers who assisted a bloc of six councillors by providing a detailed draft set of proposed amendments to council’s advertised meeting procedure rules. And did so without informing the other five councillors. This appalling amendment process was initiated by then mayor Cr Despi O’Connor with council officers and after the meetings procedure rules had already been debated and approved by council to be placed on public exhibition – and did not include these proposed amendments. The community was shut out of commenting on these proposed amendments in a statutory and policy requirement of community engagement. A train of emails obtained under Freedom of Information has revealed much, but not all, of the truth of the matter. On 12 August, Ms Sapolu emailed Mr Baker detailing “wording for the amendments” when the proposed meeting procedure rules came up for adoption by council at its 24 August meeting. On 18 August, Mr Baker forwarded this email

to Cr O’Connor. She immediately circulated the proposed amendments among six councillors “I knew may be supportive” (“‘No support’ councillors left out of email loop” The News 27/10/21. Cr Anthony Marsh then actively assisted in some further drafting in an exchange of emails with the six “supportive” councillors before forwarding a final draft to Ms Sapolu immediately prior to the council pre meet/briefing on 24 August. Cr O’Connor requested deputy mayor Cr Sarah Race to introduce the proposed amendments during the course of the 24 August council meeting. The six “supportive” councillors and council officers did not inform the other five councillors of the proposed amendments, nor was the matter brought up at the council pre-meet/briefing. Cr Race dutifully introduced and moved the proposed amendments without prior notice to all councillors and did so in the course of the debate on the adoption of the advertised procedural rules. Then followed the circus of Cr Race attempting to explain to councillors and the community her domestic COVID problems in not telling all councillors of her intention to move amendments to the advertised proposed procedural rules. To me, her explanation lacked all credibility. We now know from the trail of emails that she

Bush ‘sacrificed’ for housing The proposed rezoning of bushland in Dromana to allow for a 250-lot subdivision once again throws into question the long-term viability of so-called “sustainable development” (“Alarm over Dromana subdivision rules” The News 1/2/22). Every time such a proposal is put forward in response to “predicted population and housing growth” another piece of remnant bush is sacrificed under the cloak of “sustainable outcomes, resilience … key policies and strategies” and other jargon that supposedly will “protect the special values and character of the peninsula”. Of course, this ongoing submission to the god of endless growth at the expense of the natural environment is fundamentally unsustainable. Constantly nibbling “just a little bit more” away from our bushland will ultimately leave little for human amenity, biodiversity and habitat for increasingly threatened native species. And then what? It is time to seriously question the wisdom of the “growth” mantra and embark on a pathway of genuine sustainability. Henk van Leeuwen, Mount Martha

Unintended offence Sometimes fences are not just fences. They can just sometimes represent values above individual property rights. Planning decisions can last forever and represent and shape the future of where we live. Boundary fences on or next to beaches may one day prevent access along and to beaches. Is this the future we wish to allow to happen? The state government has ignored the consequences of rising sea levels affecting our access to beaches, perhaps because it is gradual and not seen as a priority. Fences are not always allowed, especially front fences in some suburbs and subdivisions, so there are plenty of precedents. My defeated motion at the last Mornington Peninsula Shire Council meeting to keep a fence off Balnarring Beach was based on net community benefit, including recreational values, landscape values and planning for sea level rise in this environmentally sensitive foreshore area; already water levels reach the property boundaries occasionally along this section of beach and deter walkers (“Shire makes ‘land grab’ list” The News 18/1/22). The background is: The previous road was washed away in storms in the 1960s and the road reserve is still theoretically in place but acts as part of the beach. Property boundaries go to the edge of the old road reserve and also look like part of the beach and foreshore. Most properties on this stretch have front

fences set back to an old sea wall alignment rather than put fences out to their legal boundary on the sand-dunes. The compromise decision by council to alter the fence permit application so that the proposed fence is set back some metres from the actual property boundary is still a brave and forwardthinking outcome that is an issue for us all to think about. Cr David Gill, Red Hill Ward

Problem is with roads Apparently Cr David Gill is in a rage over speeding cars (“Rage over govt inaction over speeding cars” The News 25/1/22). This is an inaccurate headline as he is in a rage over speed limits, not speeding drivers. Open country roads in good condition are perfectly safe at 100kph for undistracted competent drivers. I have no problem with reduced limits where there are high use intersections or tourist stopping points, but to reduce the limit on a whole stretch of road because of one risk spot is a disservice to responsible motorists. The main safety issue with roads on the Mornington Peninsula is that they are in a very poor state of repair. Cr Gill could improve road safety dramatically by directing ratepayers’ money towards repairing the many potholes, patches, ragged road edges, poor markings and obscured signage under Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s jurisdiction. He should also take up this issue with VicRoads, on behalf of ratepayers, as many of the roads that it is responsible for on the peninsular are also in poor condition. Peter Shearman, Bittern

Better buses As a long-time advocate for improved bus access for the many Mount Martha residents in the Hearn and Park roads areas I would like to thank everyone who supported the extension of the route from Somerset Crescent via Forest Drive and Hearn Road, Mount Martha, enabling all age groups the ability to utilise public transport for shopping, work and school, activities (781 bus Frankston, Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Dromana starting 20 February). I feel sure that the option to travel to Dromana will also be well received and utilised by many residents. Thank you all so much, hope you all enjoy your new travel options and independence. Susan Bristow, Mount Martha

‘Liberal’ Rotary I am grateful to know that the local Rotary clubs

received a draft set of the proposed amendments at least six days prior to the council meeting and a redraft of the critical rule 21 mid-afternoon on 24 August. Further, she had every opportunity to tell all councillors of her proposed amendments at the council pre-meet/briefing held immediately before the council meeting and attended by councillors and relevant management, including the CEO. But she did not do this and council officers in attendance remained silent even though Cr Marsh had forwarded a copy of the proposed amendment to governance manager Ms Sapolu that afternoon. Mr Baker and Ms Sapolu, for reasons which have yet to be explained, have proceeded in apparent ignorance of the then and now current versions of the shire’s meeting procedure rules. Yet these rules had been argued by council and in council briefings almost the entirety of the preceding year. Let us then have a close look at rule 10 [now rule 15]: “Advice provided to individual councillors”. This rule obliges officers, including Mr Baker and Ms Sapolu, to undertake the following action: "Any advice provided by an officer to a councillor regarding: (a) Meeting procedure or practices; (b) The operation of these Governance Rules; (c) The application of the Act to meetings; and (d) A suggested motion and any

supporting arguments - shall be provided to all other councillors at or about the same time [it is so provided]”. Then there is rule 11(2), which required the mayor and Cr Race to circulate the proposed amendments “in writing to all other councillors in advance of the commencement of the meeting". It is clear that there was every opportunity for Cr Race to do so, and she chose not to. And not to be overlooked in all this are the overarching statutory obligations of the CEO to provide advice and support to the mayor and councillors, and that the mayor has an independent duty to act impartially as mayor. So, the question seriously and properly raised by the Nepean Ratepayers Association with [Local Government Minister Shaun Leane] is whether, given this express rule and the events uncovered in the emails detailed above, Mr Baker and Ms Sapolu "exercised sound judgement, followed good governance practices and are fit and proper people to hold their office"? The community, as do I, ought to be fully supportive of the Nepean Ratepayers' Association pursuing answers to these serious matters and bringing them to the attention of the Minister for Local Government so that there be proper inquiry and answers provided to what I regard as being a most unsavoury public matter. Stuart Allen, Dromana

had made a booboo by inviting the highly promoted, no expenses spared, highly photographic, campaigner for Dunkley Ms Sharn Coombes to speak at a future Rotary function (“Liberal speaker” Letters 1/2/22). Dunkley already has a satisfactory Peta Murphy as its sitting [Labor] MP, so all one can assume is that the peninsula Liberals have jumped the election hurdles prematurely officially based upon the pork barrel Liberal candidate’s election bottomless war chest, judging by the expensive highway advertising signs. Did Rotary invite Peta Murphy and all the female candidates for Flinders? Inequality and political bias are unacceptable by an international community organisation that should have been impartial and not allowed a free punt for a potential pollie. The Liberals have a strong presence in the peninsula membership of local Rotary clubs and so it is questionable as to the propriety of such an invitation. Admittedly, the peninsula Liberals have been getting away with pork barrelling and behind the scenes manipulation, especially in the interference with the Mornington Peninsula Shire elections resulting in three ineffectual political candidates that have lost the trust and support of the 40,000 voters resulting in the swathe of letters complaining about two Briars Ward councillors and [Hastings Labor candidate] Cr Paul Mercurio. Rotary has had its fingers burnt by this political error and if it wants the prospective [state Mornington] candidate defeated Dunkley MP Chris Crewther coming back for a second bite of a political job for life with cherries on top, then they should apologise for such overt political bias, clean up their act and open membership to a younger demographic. The peninsula remains the playground for the rich born to rule, and more conservative of our community. Ian Morrison, convenor Mount Eliza Community Alliance

believe the issue would be addressed but there would be vehement denials and distortions by the spin doctors. It seems things have gone from bad to worse: CEO in control of council agenda, and [councillors] cannot question officers during a public council meeting. Maybe the CEO should at least have his spin doctors address the issues which have been brought to light when they are brought to light. As for what I regard as his exorbitant salary, it has always been my opinion that there are much better candidates for half the money. Unfortunately, the belief is that if you are not asking for a fortune to do your job, then you have nothing to offer. Council should put it on the recruitment agencies that no salary over $200,000 will be entertained. John Baker makes $425,000, 75 per cent of the US president’s salary, and 98 per cent of Australia’s prime minister. How can that be justified? Maybe it is time to limit local government salaries, just like rate capping. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Salary cap for CEO It is interesting to see Mornington Peninsula Shire threatening “action” against those who stand up to be counted (“Shire CEO ‘concerned’ over ratepayer group’s allegations” Letters 25/1/22). The CEO John Baker refers to an article which certainly passes the public interest test (“Call for probe of shire ‘democracy’” The News 18/1/22). Why has the CEO all of a sudden responded? There have been several articles about these issues and many letters. Set the record straight and release all correspondence on the subject and distribution list, let us decide for ourselves. Let’s hear his rebuttal in specifics not spin. And keep in mind that “legal is the lowest form of right”. As for asking council for comment, I don’t

Beach clean Why can’t we have showers and foot washers like NSW and Queensland beaches? Here at Mornington, especially Mills and Fishermans beaches in Mornington, we’ve no sooner washed our feet than we are sandy again. Even a raised platform would help. Surely Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has seen the facilities up north and could improve ours? I think the tap at Fisherman Beach could be 19th century and, when requested, they put a new handle on the tap. What about doing a proper job? Wendy Doyle, Mornington

Line ball loss How sad it was to see at the Australian Open the absence of linesmen and women? They were a special feature at the Open. It was sad not to see them as they played a special part in the competition and their decision making in each match. We have to ask why they have been dismissed? Is it a cash cutting decision or a cut-back of human presence? Geoffrey Lane, Mornington

Morrison’s ‘values’ This is from Scott Morrison’s maiden speech in 2008: “From my faith I derived the values of loving kindness, justice and righteousness, to act with compassion and kindness, acknowledging our common humanity and to consider the welfare of others; to fight for a fair go for everyone to fulfill their human potential and to remove whatever unjust obstacles stand in their way.” I see that as hypocrisy.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

‘A Wall of Flame’ – Huge fire at Frankston Compiled by Cameron McCullough THAT an incendiarist is in our midst is the contention of many local residents. Recent conflagrations seem to point that way. Fires at Seaford and Frankston have destroyed much valuable ti-tree, but their origin seems to be clothed in mystery. But, just as from the tiny acorn grew the mighty oak, so do devastating fires in most cases have their nefarious birth in the flame of the little match. And the origin of recent fires seem to be the work of one who has lost his mental balance. Evidence of this was obtained on Sunday last. While out walking, a young couple observed a man light a fire among decayed bracken fern close to The Fernery. They put the fire out. The man, it is stated, wore a black suit, and was respectable in appearance. He carried what appeared to be a well-bound book under his arm, and this was believed to have been a Bible. As the young couple thought the man was bent on evil, they followed him. Hurrying along William Street, the man attempted to light a fire on two occasions, but failed. The assistance of residents in the locality was then sought, but the man they sought was of the elusive type and made good his escape. But, on Monday afternoon, about one o’clock, it is stated, a lady was astounded to see the same man walk up Kars Street towards Gweno Avenue.

Mornington News

Whether he originated it or not, the fact remains that shortly afterwards a fire broke out in that locality. With an easterly breeze blowing, the fire soon increased in volume, and Mrs Nolan, who resides close to the Bon Vue Estate, sent the alarm to the fire station for assistance. The response by the members of the fire brigade was prompt. Willing workers were quickly on the scene, and promptly dived into the titree to give battle to the fierce enemy. But, despite their efforts, the flames, gathering force, strength and area as they went, swept on like a huge wall towards George Street, where some 30 houses lie in the course of the flames. The scattered houses in the Woodland Grove, right in the very midst of the fire, were saved, and it was only by super-human effort and a plentiful supply of water that the houses in George Street were saved from destruction. The danger at one time was indeed great, and many residents realised this by getting all their valuables into the street. After about three hours’ strenuous effort, the fury seemed to have been well tamed, and most of the men departed. After their departure the fire broke out in the gullies, about half-mile away, and soon had a fierce hold. By the efforts of a few men, the fire was beaten back on its own track, and at 7.30 was quite under control. The members of the brigade rendered yeomen service, and deserve much praise for services rendered. The same applies to that band of

8 February 2022

willing unattached workers who toiled like trojans throughout. Some of the workers were incensed at the unmanly action of a number of men who watched the fire from Kars St; men who clung to the safety of their young ladies’ skirts and enjoyed the fire as a spectacle! They seemed to be disappointed that no houses were burnt or greater damage done. An example to these soft-headed nincompoops was set by two young ladies and a middle-aged lady who helped to fight the flames in earnest, and by those young ladies who followed the men into the heat and smoke with supplies of drinking water. *** DR. C. Maxwell, who has been ill for over a fortnight, and compelled to keep to his bed, was able to resume practice this week. *** MR George Barnett notifies by advertisement that he has commenced business as general carrier in Frankston and all parcels or goods received by him will be promptly delivered, or orders by post or phone attended to at once. *** ON Sunday last, at Frankston, a collision occurred at the intersection of Bay Street and Mornington Road, between motor cars going in different directions. Fortunately no one was injured, and although the cars suffered somewhat they were not put out of action. The scene of the mishap is acknowledged to be a most dangerous spot,

and many hairbreadth escapes from serious catastrophes are already on record. The Shire Council at its last meeting had its attention drawn to the position by Cr Wells, and it is understood that Major Lazarus, the shire engineer, is now arranging for the widening of the road. In the interests of all concerned it is hoped that the work will be put in hand at once. *** R. BILLINGTON & Son, who have purchased the dairying business of W. & A. Lewis in Bay St, Frankston. In another column thanks is expressed to the public for the liberal patronage bestowed to the retiring firm, and the information is given that the milk from Mrs Lewis’s dairy farm will be retailed by the new firm of R. Billington & Son. *** THE ordinary meeting of the Frankston Branch of the Returned Soldiers League was held on Monday evening last, the president, Mr W. M. Hanton in the chair. It was decided to entertain the Fathers at a smoke social on Monday, 6th March. The League’s new badges are now on hand and all financial members can obtain some from Mr D. Dodd, the branch secretary. *** MR A. Lisle, dentist, of Collins St, advises that be will not be making his usual visit to Somerville on Thursday next, 16th inst. *** MISS Rene Galt, teacher of piano-

forte, notifies that she will resume tuition on the 20th inst. *** SISTER Campbell announces in another column that she is still carrying on St. Pancras Private Hospital, in Frankston. *** THE Frankston Private Hospital is now open for midwifery and general medical and surgical cases. It is under the management of Miss Creswick, and a trained staff. The premises are those near the Mile Bridge recently occupied by Mr Ben Baxter, and are eminently suited for its present purpose, the spacious verandah and garden, making it very attractive. All patients are under the care and treatment of Dr C. Maxwell. *** HOWELLS store, Seaford was entered by thieves on Saturday night last, and a sum of £15 stolen from the cash register. A robbery is also reported from Mr J. Finch’s residence, in the same district. *** THE petition, lodged by Jessie Sheridan, of St Kilda, for judicial separation from her husband, John Sheridan, of Melbourne Road, Frankston, came before Mr Justice McFarlane in the Civil Court on Tuesday last. On the grounds that Mrs Sheridan was of alleged nervous disposition and given to exaggerating things, the petition was dismissed. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 10 February 1922

WHAT'S NEW...

Golden line–up for Waterfront Festival ANDREW Swift is set to strike a chord with The Waterfront Festival audiences at the popular February event. A two-time Golden Guitar Winner (2019 New Talent of the Year and 2019 Alt Country Album of the Year), Andrew is excitedly looking forward to performing as one of the headline acts. Andrew said: “I love performing at waterfront locations. I've performed at quite a few over the years, but this will be my first one in Frankston. “I've spent a lot of time down that way over the years and have always enjoyed the Frankston Waterfront. I know the band and I are all looking forward to performing.” Andrew loves to share a yarn or two while performing, saying: “You can always expect plenty of stories and some laughs. If you don't feel like you know me better than you did before I started the show then I haven't done my job.” He is rapt to return to live performances post lockdown, adding: “I'm loving getting back to work. Creating and performing my music is my dream job and I'm so happy to be back at it.” Andrew joins Sneaky Sound System, Jack Jones, Gretta Ziller and Spirit Lines as headliners, with many more artists, at the festival. Festivities will take place across a larger area of the foreshore than in the past, meaning more room for more fun in the sun, including food trucks and garden bar, market stalls, beach activities, The Dreaming Space fam-

ily entertainment, amusement rides and showbags, live music and roving entertainment, free activities and much more! Patrons are in for a major treat with not one, not two, but three stages at

the festival. There’s a huge range of attractions and entertainment throughout the diverse precincts including ‘The Beach and Beyond’ (featuring Peninsula Water Bikes, soccer and volleyball),

‘The Garden Bar’ (featuring a stage with licenced vendors), ‘Food Truck Square’ (offering tasty treats), ‘Activity Arena’ (with free family fun such as circus workshops), ‘Rides and Amusements’ and ‘Waterfront Mar-

kets’ (with heaps of great bargains). The Waterfront Festival will also be home to the Ventana Fiesta precinct, a colourful celebration of intercultural entertainment and cuisine, which is not to be missed. Ventana is Frankston City’s much-loved Latin arts festival and the Waterfront’s Ventana Fiesta precinct will host the action-packed Mexican Wrestling Ring. Victor Diaz migrated to Australia in his late 20s and brought his passion for the theatre and drama of Mexican wrestling. His Mexican wrestling show features full costumes, including masks and capes, acrobatic action, gripping storytelling with a good versus evil storyline and a dash of comedy. Victor said: “The young ones really love the costumes. People get into the show and cheer their favourite or boo the bad guy.” Enjoy Mexican wrestling featuring The Lone Mariachi and the Silver Masked Men band and the gracious Mexican dancers. The Waterfront Festival returns with a bang thanks to the much loved fireworks display, filling the sky on Saturday, 19 February at 9.45pm! Be sure you secure your spot for the best views of a sparkling display set to dazzle and delight all. Date: Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 February 2022. Location: Frankston Foreshore. Cost: Free Entry.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

At Last! The Motion Picture Improvement Project By Stuart McCullough THERE’S no getting around it - I’m going to have to break the first rule of ‘Fight Club’ by talking about ‘Fight Club’. This, of course, means that I’ll also be breaking the second rule of Fight Club. Which seems unreasonable. Clearly, the concept of ‘double jeopardy’ has not reached the ‘Fight Club’ universe. But despite this, it’s impossible to avoid talking about ‘Fight Club’. Granted, it’s unusual that a twentyyear-old movie should force its way into polite conversation, but I’m not referring to ‘Fight Club’ as you may have known it in 1999. Rather, I’m talking about Fight Club with its all-new and improved ending. ‘Fight Club 2.0’ is now available and, speaking frankly, the ending is far more comforting to those of us who were rattled by the idea of the destruction of human civilization. For those unfamiliar with it, the movie ‘Fight Club’ involves an unnamed Narrator who suffers from insomnia. This was years before the movie version of ‘Cats’ had been released, so insomnia was still a thing. He meets Tyler Durden, a soap salesman who’d been expelled from the Ponds Institute for his crazy ideas and, together; they form the aforementioned ‘Fight Club’. There, young and not so young men beat each other senseless to achieve catharsis. In some countries, this is also known as ‘ice hockey’. They then embark on ‘Project Mayhem’, which seeks to destroy the corporate, materialistic system through sabotage. To this end, they engage Meat Loaf, and he famously went on to perfect the technique at the 2011 AFL

Grand Final. The movie concludes with the Narrator watching on as Project Mayhem takes effect and buildings be-

gin exploding to the sounds of The Pixies ‘Where Is My Mind?’ Or, at least, that’s how the film used to end.

PROUDLY PRESENTED BY

Luckily, censors in China have included a superior ending. A message flashes on screen advising that, as a result of a clue provided by Tyler, the police arrested everyone and the bomb does not explode. Plus, they’ve dumped The Pixies in favour of Meat Loaf’s ‘I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)’ which, given he was in the film and The Pixies weren’t is probably fair enough. Better still, the new ending advises that Tyler Durden ended up in a lunatic asylum and was released in 2012, opening up the possibility of a sequel. Which is nice. Predictably, some people are offended by this kind of blatant censorship. The director of the original motion picture, David Fincher, was reported as describing it as ‘dystopian’. Which is weird given that ‘Fight Club’ is, itself, dystopian. It begs the question: if you act in a dystopian manner towards something that’s already dystopian, do they act like two negatives and cancel each other out? I don’t not know the answer to that one. I, on the other hand, take great comfort from the new ending. I also see a lot of potential to improve other movies so law and order is maintained. Granted, some might regard the actions of censors in China and consider them heavy-handed authoritarianism. I prefer to think to see them as an exercise in good taste. I can’t wait to see what they do to other Hollywood classics that are overdue for a tidy up. ‘Casablanca’, for one, is screaming out for a better ending. Instead of facilitating the escape of the leader of the French Resistance and reining karaoke champion together with his former squeeze, Humphrey Bogart’s character

Rick will turn them in to the authorities and be lauded as hero. He’ll even get to ride in one of the tanks at the next scheduled military parade. The film ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ now ends with Ferris being taken in for questioning. Ultimately, he ceases his futile battles against school authorities and goes on to graduate before taking up a mid-level but deeply rewarding position with the Ministry for Information. And, for those who were worried, the 1961 Ferrari Spyder was unharmed, although it’s been replaced by the more modest Toyota Corolla to downplay the decadent consumerism that so marred the original. ‘The Godfather’ and its sequel, which originally had a combined running time of more than six hours, are now all over in fifteen minutes. That’s because of the sterling working work of local authorities who managed to shut down an extensive organized crime ring with extraordinary speed and efficiency. Granted, this makes for a less compelling viewing experience, but you do save a large amount of time. It also means that the third movie no longer needs to exist. Which is good. The actions of the censors are all taking place under something called ‘Project Cohesion’, which is much like ‘Project Mayhem’ save for the radically altered ending. Having now seen both versions of the movie, on balance I regrettably prefer the original. Not that you can express that view to the censors. Ironically, they still believe the first rule Fight Club is that you can’t talk about Fight Club. It seems some things don’t change, even when the ending does. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Baden Powell get better of Mt Eliza, Hawkins century set up Flinders, Carrum notch strong win By Brodie Cowburn

MPCA WOMENS

Their innings was elevated by Samantha Ryan, who led the charge with 65 runs. Pines set Tootgarook a total of 115 runs to chase down. Opener Ella Hilton put her best foot forward early on. Tootgarook’s run chase was helped by her knock of 51. Tootgarook’s batters struggled to make much scoreboard impact, but errant bowling from Pines kept them in the contest. The game went down to the final over. When stumps was called for the day Tootgarook was at 5/115. The two sides finished all square, with a tie the result. Langwarrin had a bye.

They finished 10 runs short of victory. Langwarrin and Long Island did battle in a tight one on Sunday, The game was decided with just one over left to play. Long Island batted first.

Streets bypasses Orr Stakes HORSE RACING

By Ben Triandafillou SHANE Nichols’ dual Group 1 winner Streets of Avalon won’t defend his Orr Stakes title this Saturday at Caulfield. The highest earning son of Magnus made a sound return when running fifth first-up in the Group 2 Australia Stakes (1200m) a fortnight ago, but Mornington-based trainer Shane Nichols said he wasn’t entirely happy with the results of the gelding’s recent blood tests. Nichols said he’s happy to wait a week before making a decision on where to head next. “It was a good return but he didn’t handle the soft track, he needs it fairly firm,” Nichols said. “He got a bit further back than what we

would’ve wanted but he ran home well. “He came back with a bit of a bad blood so will wait until early next week and will decide what to do next.” Streets of Avalon is still nominated for the $5million All-Star Mile (1600m) in March and currently holds 252 votes. He has contested the richest mile race in the world the last two years, with his best result finishing 7th last year with minimal luck.

to score 156 to win. Openers Shaun Foster and Mark Cooper proved more than up for the task. Carrum’s openers combined for a partnership of 156 runs. Both ended up finishing the day on 74 not out. Carrum won by 10 wickets. The victory helped consolidate their spot inside the top four. Dromana scored another win on the weekend, leaving them top of the ladder at the end of the round. Dromana comfortably defeated Main Ridge by 63 runs. The winners successfully defended 196 to claim the points. Crib Point and Carrum Downs rounded out the winner’s list. Crib Point worked hard to defeat Hastings and Carrum Downs dominated Frankston YCW.

SUB DISTRICT

SKYE emerged victorious in their battle against top of the ladder Seaford last weekend.

Batting first, Seaford set their opponents a tough target to chase down. Seaford scored 207 runs. Number three batter Ryan McQueen was Seaford’s best performer. He scored 90 runs. Skye was up for the challenge. After losing an opener for a duck, they responded in the best way possible. Opener Ishtiaq Ahmed and number three Jasmeet Virdi combined for a 178 run partnership. Their hard work helped Skye get the hard fought win with just three wickets left to spare and a little less than two overs left to play in the day. In other matchups, Tyabb cemented their place inside the top four with a dominant win over Pearcedale. Balnarring defeated Boneo and Ballam Park won against Mt Martha. Tootgarook bested Rye.

Dover to Langy, Currie to Pines SOCCER

By Craig MacKenzie LANGWARRIN has sealed the signing of attacking midfielder Keiran Dover from NPL heavyweight Bentleigh Greens. It’s a massive coup for the local club but its off-season splurge may not end there as another NPL star is considering joining Scott Miller’s men. The curtain falls on the NPL transfer window at 5pm on Thursday but already what surely is the strongest squad ever assembled at Lawton Park is preparing an assault on the NPL2 title and a historic place in Victoria’s elite club competition. Dover, 25, has reached the highest levels in Australian club soccer making his debut for Melbourne Victory off the bench in 2014 against arch enemy Sydney. He’s had two stints at Dandenong Thunder and Bentleigh Greens and played with Green Gully in 2018. He was bullish about his new club’s prospects heading into the season. “Langwarrin is an ambitious club and it’s known for being really competitive,” he said. “I can’t wait to help the club push for promotion and with the current playing group and coaching staff I believe we have the quality to compete at NPL level. “The facilities are great and I can’t wait to get started.” There was no happier person at Lawton Park than Miller who has had Dover on his radar for some time. “I’ve been tracking him for probably 18 months now,” Miller said. “Our focus always has been on trying to get the best players in the area to play for us and knowing his character and football qualities he’s going to be great for the club, no doubt. “We’ve worked hard behind the scenes these past three years and the fact that the club’s profile has risen to such a degree that players of this quality want to join us is a credit to all involved.” Langy’s build-up to the league kickoff next month continues on Friday at Jack Edwards Reserve when Miller’s men take on Oakleigh Cannons at 6.30pm (under-21s) and 7.30pm (seniors). And the feeling at Frankston Pines that the State 3 championship rug has been pulled from under their feet for the past two seasons no longer is front of mind as they zero in on this year’s campaign with news that Aaran Currie has switched from Casey Comets. The Scottish striker joined Comets

from Peninsula Strikers last November so the move was unexpected. “It looks like Pines have got a chance to win the league and the most I’ve enjoyed football was when I won the league with Langy (in 2017) and I want to win it again,” Currie said. “My work commitments meant I was struggling with the schedule at Casey and I wanted a more relaxed atmosphere where I still had the chance to win something.” Pines remain in talks with Currie’s close friend and former Langy teammate Liam Baxter. Currie joins other off-season signings in Ryan Ratcliffe (from Launceston United), Keegan Grealy (Doncaster Rovers), Thomas Dunn (Navua FC, Fiji), Tommy Hawkins (Peninsula Strikers) and Beaumaris duo Callum Batey and Tom Scott. “Aaron brings us something a little different as he likes to play on the shoulder of the last defender, has undoubted class and great technical ability,” Pines senior coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor said.

another Seaford United teammate in Jack Carter. Strikers are at home on Saturday against South Springvale at 1pm and 3pm. Skye United defeated Baxter 4-0 at Baxter Park on Saturday. Jason Nowakowski, Mitch Blake, Daniel Walsh and former Eastern Lions player Michael Bruzzese scored for Skye. Early last week Skye beat Kingston City’s under-21s 5-1 with goals from Marcus Anastasiou (2), Daniel Walsh, Jason Nowakowski and Logan Magri. Baxter lined up against Skye with six changes from the previous week’s matchday squad. Nat Daher, Charlie O’Connell, Kieron Grant, Matty McDermott, Dan Disseldorp and triallist Yodishtra Jagatheson were missing while Brodie McMinimee broke a bone in his foot for the second year running. Nathan Yole and Charlie Hunt were back in action and got through the game unscathed. Baxter’s State 4 rival Chelsea beat

Pakenham United 4-1 last weekend at IYU Reserve with goals from Daniel Vella (2), Luke D’Alessandro (2) and Arki Gantzos while Somerville Eagles travelled to Bunyip Recreation Reserve and lost 2-0 to Bunyip District Strikers. In State 5 Mount Martha lost 5-1 to Shepparton South at Civic Reserve last weekend. The classy visitors led 4-1 at halftime so the second-half effort from Chris Sanderson’s side was much improved and Dave Oswald scored for the locals. Aspendale Stingrays beat Lyndale United 2-1 at Lyndale Secondary College on Saturday with James Macnab and Mathew Leggett scoring for Aspendale whose best were Leggett, Blake Rosenberg, Macnab and Kieran Hughes. Meanwhile State 4 and State 5 local sides were waiting for the draw for the first round of the 2022 Football Australia Cup as we went to press. Games are due to be played next weekend.
