City rubbishes our beach

By Mike Hast MORNINGTON beaches are being polluted by rubbish from Melbourne.

Trash collected by beach walkers in the past two weeks included five syringes as well as plastic containers, lids, straws, small pieces of plastic and parking slips, in total enough to fill

several large garbage bags.

More than three dozen parking slips came from the cities of Melbourne, Maribyrnong, Darebin and Yarra, revealing the exact time and date the slips were issued.

Several had taken just three days to float from Melbourne to Mornington.

Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver said “rubbish in appalling amounts was washed up on Mills Beach and Shire Hall Beach, Mornington, two weeks ago and over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend”.

“We don’t normally get needles. We usually pick up one or two needles dur-

ing Clean Up Australia Day but found none in March,” she said.

Ms Oliver said Mornington Peninsula Shire cleaned the beach with a machine but more rubbish had washed up on Mills Beach after the long weekend.

The beach rubbish is being blamed on recent rain. A storm that crossed

Antarctic trip to explore changing climate AT age 25, Christie Sinclair is already a seasoned traveller, having spent six months studying environmental journalism in Greece and visiting North America, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and parts of Europe.

Her travels and studies have intensified her concerns over the effects of rapid climate change so much that she had now set her sights on the Antarctic, which, she believes, needs protection from mining and drilling.

Ms Sinclair, of Mt Eliza, is one of 30 people chosen from around the world to participate in the 2014 Antarctic Youth Ambassadors Program.

Run by polar explorer Robert Swan, the program aims to “create an international youth coalition of Antarctic defenders who will champion renewable energy as their path to saving the continent”.

“This is the craziest thing I have ever done, but I am determined to make a difference,” Ms Sinclair told The News.

“The scope of the trip and how I choose to use this experience afterwards is really limitless, and I am so excited and honoured to be representing Australia, and the Mornington Peninsula, on this global expedition.”

While admitting to being “completely terrified” of crossing the Drake Passage on board the ship Sea Spirit to Antarctica from Argentina, Ms Sinclair’s first big obstacle is raising the $22,000 two-week expedition fee.

On top of this she has to pay for flights, gear and travel insurance.

“To be completely honest, at first I was reluctant to accept the position

based on the extreme cost and the fact that I only have three months to raise the funds. I was in a little bit of shock about the whole thing really.

“But then I thought it would be silly to let a large expedition fee prevent me from pursuing my dream and potentially helping make a real difference.”

Ever the optimist, Ms Sinclair is already formulating her ideas on how she will use the information gained through the youth ambassadors program to help protect Antarctica.

“Based on the lessons I learn, and the new skills and knowledge I acquire from the expedition, I would like to develop a local, environmental online directory and news website where peninsula businesses are able to promote their trade.

“I would also like to incorporate regular environmental features, news stories and articles written by young peninsula journalists or environmentalists.”

A travel writer and copywriter for Australian Pacific Touring, Ms Sinclair in 2010 was awarded the Global Environmental Journalism Initiative scholarship to study environmental journalism in Thessaloniki, Greece, for six months.

She also contributes to Young Vagabond, a magazine for young women that was published with money raised through the Pozible crowd funding platform.

“Through my recent focus of study incorporating environmental journalism, I have learned that there is extremely important work to be done and accounted for when it comes to

climate change,” Ms Sinclair said.

“The media and journalists have a responsibility to record and report the information to the public in an objective and straightforward manner, to a world that at this point in time is basically unaware of what is transpiring in

Antarctica. I strongly believe that it is up to the young people of today to take action on climate change.

“It’s so easy to ignore the problem and leave the responsibility to someone else. After all, as we go about our day-to-day lives, the effect of climate

change is basically undetectable.

“Antarctica? That’s another story.

Which is why I will do everything in my power to communicate the real effects of climate change to people back home.”

Book bus: Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell and Mornington MP David Morris on Friday announced a $215,000 upgrade of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s mobile library with the state government kicking in $125,000.

Upgrade for mobile library MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s distinctive mobile library will be renovated at a cost of $215,000.

The project will include new airconditioning, better electrical wiring and upgraded hydraulics.

The state government will chip in $125,000 with $100,000 coming from the shire’s coffers.

Mornington MP David Morris announced the state money on Friday with Minister for Local Government Jeanette Powell.

“From the earliest days, when the mobile library was an old converted bus, peninsula towns have been well served by this service,” Mr Morris said.

“The growing and changing communities on the peninsula deserve a refreshed mobile library service and more modern facilities.

“The major upgrade will include new air-conditioning to make it a lot more comfortable inside during long summer days and warmer when icy

winds blow off the bay.”

He said the upgrade would result in a better, more reliable service for the community.

Ms Powell said the grant to the shire was “one of the projects to be funded through the third round of the Living Libraries Infrastructure Program”.

“The government is investing in the future of growing communities by building first-class community assets through the $17.2 million Living Libraries program,” she said.

Woodland plan to minister

By Mike Hast AFTER more than 10 years of reports, community consultations, two independent panel hearings and intense lobbying, the shire council last week voted to send the Woodland planning amendment to Planning Minister Matthew Guy for his approval.

But it was a close-run thing – Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden used her casting vote to get the amendment, known as C162, over the line after councillors were locked at 5-all.

The Woodland amendment is the shire’s attempt to creating the planning muscle to restrict subdivision to protect “neighbourhood character” in the area of Mt Eliza bounded by Nepean Highway, Humphries Rd, Moorooduc Highway and Canadian Bay Rd. The precinct consists of 1700 blocks of about 2600 square metres (twothirds of an acre in the old measure) with some up to 5000sqm.

If approved by Mr Guy, Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme Amendment C162 will limit block sizes to 2500sqm in two parts of Woodland and 2000sqm in the two other sections.

Other rules will govern the distance new houses can be set back from fence lines and streets, the size of new houses and vegetation removal.

Woodland has created lots of heat since the shire received the first application to subdivide a property in late 2002.

Residents who cherish their big, leafy blocks were horrified to find there was no planning law restricting

subdivision. Those seeking to protect the area from subdivision formed the Mt Eliza Woodland Residents Association in 2004 and have been lobbying the shire, councillors and MPs. The “no subdivision” movement has had the public support of Mornington MP David Morris, a Mt Eliza resident.

He supported the shire’s first attempt to get subdivision controls, known as Amendment C87, when in Opposition.

In late 2009, C87 was rejected by then Labor Planning Minister Justin Madden.

It had sat on his desk for more than two years.

Mr Madden said he agreed with the shire that Woodland should be protected, but the amendment was too strict with its clause of no blocks smaller than 2500sqm.

The shire restarted the process in 2011, buoyed by the change of government in late 2010 when Labor was defeated by the Liberal-Nationals Coalition.

In 2011, Mr Morris told the Parliament that Woodland still needed protection and called on his colleague Mr Guy to “commence the process to amend the … planning scheme to protect the Mt Eliza Woodlands and to deliver on another Coalition election commitment”.

“The proposal has an incredible amount of community support. It has support right across the spectrum. It has the full support of the council, it has the support of the wider community and, most particularly, it has the very enthusiastic support of almost all

the people who live in the Mt Eliza Woodland:.

“In December 2008 I presented a petition to the house, which contained 1770 signatures in support of the amendment.

“Little has changed in the intervening period. We have lost a few blocks, but it is still a salvageable position.

“When I first raised the issue in October 2007, there were some 1582 out of 1600 lots that were capable of subdivision. Quite a few of those have now been subdivided, but overall the integrity of the area is still intact, and if we take action reasonably soon there is the opportunity to resolve the problem.”

Opposed to the subdivision restrictions is a group called Growing Our Community.

At the council meeting last Tuesday, its president Per Carlsen hinted at the group’s next step when he asked shire CEO Michael Kennedy what provisions had been made in the budget “to cover the potential $720 million class action” from some Woodland residents.

Mr Carlsen’s figure was based on 1708 properties in Woodland, 95 per cent potential claims for loss of income due to C187 coming into force, and potential subdivided block values of $444,000 (1622 x $444,000).

Dr Kennedy said the shire “carried a range of insurances including public liability and professional indemnity, however advice will be sought” and a more complete answer would be posted on the shire’s website.

Growing Our Community says C162 will not protect Woodland.

It argues Woodland residents should be allowed to subdivide to ensure Mt Eliza “remains a sustainable community for future generations”.

“This can be achieved by supporting young families to have access to large, family-sized allotments.

“This will also enable families to have the benefit of accessing good schools, early childhood services, medical services, shops and beautiful natural reserves.”

Deborah Haydon of Mt Eliza Woodland Residents Association told The News she was happy C87 “was progressing to the next stage”.

The association has long argued that Woodland is not a suitable place for medium-density housing.

“Once the environment and all it makes possible for residents, flora and fauna is destroyed, it is gone forever,” the association said.

Former Mt Eliza area councillor Leigh Eustace, who was at the meeting last week, said he was “very happy the council had passed C162”.

“There has been a great deal of community consultation over many years and the shire’s planning officers have done a marvellous job.”

Councillors who voted to send the amendment to Mr Guy were Lynn Bowden, Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers, High Fraser and Graham Pittock.

Against were Ann Shaw, Andrew Dixon, Frank Martin, Antonella Celi and David Gibb. Cr Bowden used her casting vote to support the amendment.

Charged over theft of rings A HASTINGS man aged 26 has been charged over the theft of two diamond rings from a jewellery store in the Bentons Square shopping centre, Mornington East.

Detective Senior Constable Shane Moody of Mornington crime investigation unit said police would allege the man was inspecting two engagementstyle diamond rings with a salesperson on Tuesday 14 May when he grabbed the rings and ran from the store.

He was charged with theft and bailed to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court in July.

Melbourne rubbish trashes bay beaches Continued from Page 1

Ms Oliver said it was wrong that shire ratepayers had to pay to clean up Melbourne rubbish on Mornington beaches.

She sorted the parking ticket slips on her lounge room table before contacting Frankston environmentalist Jim Kerin, who has been campaigning to get councils to install litter traps since 2005.

Mr Kerin said heavy rain in 2005 washed rubbish onto beaches at Frankston, Seaford and Carrum.

Dozens of parking ticket slips from the City of Greater Dandenong were in the rubbish collected.

“We had a meeting with Dandenong’s then mayor Peter Brown and Frankston MP Alistair Harkness and convinced the council to spend about $1.5 million on centrifugal litter traps,” he said.

“We’ve seen very little rubbish from Dandenong since then.”

In March, Mr Kerin wrote an opinion piece for The News based on his years of research and lobbying for litter traps.

He stated that a Melbourne City Council report revealed three billion pieces of litter (about 2000 to 3000 tonnes) was washed into Melbourne’s waterways through stormwater drains each year.

“Most litter in stormwater comes from shopping centres and strips, markets, on-street collections, tips and recycling depots,” he wrote.

“A number of major streams feed the lower Yarra River. Inclusive of the Yarra, they drain Melbourne’s suburban north, northwest and east, and include Maribyrnong and Plenty rivers and Merri, Darebin and Gardiners creeks.

“The streams directly connect to the major underground drains beneath streets and commercial precincts of the north and east to Port Phillip’s central and southern beaches. The main drains and beds and banks of creeks and rivers are managed by Melbourne Water.

“Once this litter leaves the Yarra, it’s carried by Port Phillip’s predominant clockwise currents south to beaches in the municipalities of Bayside, Kingston, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula.”

He said rivers of garbage can be seen in Port Phillip after significant rain events.

“Each year the four councils spend hundreds of thousands of dollars collecting drift litter from their beaches.”

The rubbish should be stopped by inner city councils and Melbourne Water instead of shifting the cost to bayside councils, he said.

Weather forecaster Alex Zadnik, a former resident of Sorrento now in a senior position with Sydney-based Weatherzone.com, told Radio Port Phillip’s Environment Show on Thursday that Melbourne and southern Victoria was likely to receive above average rain this winter.

Holiday arrival: Humpback whales were back in Port Phillip over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. These whales were photographed on a previous visit two years ago by the Dolphin Research Institute.

Whales return for weekend DOLPHIN watchers had a surprise on Saturday of the long weekend when the fluke of a humpback whale poked out of a patch of water they were studying off Mornington.

Sue Mason, who leads the Dolphin Research Institute dolphin watching team, said it was the 13th year running whales had been reported in Port Phillip over the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

“The DRI research team has joked for a number of years that the long weekend should be referred to as whale weekend, but we are now beginning to think seriously about the label,” Ms Mason said.

The whale sightings in Port Phillip

also coincided with World Ocean Day. Ms Mason has worked on humpback projects in Hawaii, Hervey Bay, the Sunshine Coast and southern Western Australia.

“Whales are not a sight we see regularly in Port Phillip and it’s always exciting to see humpbacks,” she said.

“Humpback whales are currently on their northbound migration to the warmer Pacific waters. Some whales, often those not yet sexually mature, visit Port Phillip in what we humans might refer to as pure curiosity.

“The two sub-adult animals that were spotted on Saturday left the bay on Sunday afternoon.”

Wildlife Coast Cruises, which operates from Cowes, Phillip Island, has seen humpbacks in Western Port while taking tourist trips to Seal Rocks.

“Like all wild animals, humpback whale behaviour can be unpredictable,” Ms Mason said.

“Rules are in place to protect those who observe whales and the whales themselves.

“If anyone is lucky enough to be on the water and sees a whale, they should remember they are not permitted to approach within 200 metres of the animals, must maintain a consistent speed of less than five knots and refrain from making sudden changes in direction.”

Dromana holiday resort timed out

By Mike Hast SHIRE councillors have rejected extending the time for the building of a holiday resort at McLears Hill on the Nepean Highway near Dromana Drive-in and Dromana Holiday and Lifestyle Village.

The almost 50 hectare property bordered by the highway and Mornington Peninsula Freeway was bought by Peninsula Junction Pty Ltd earlier this year and the new owner asked Mornington Peninsula Shire for an extension of time on the planning permit.

The site is just outside and abutting the Urban Growth Boundary, which runs along its frontage to Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

The permit was first issued in September 2006 when the previous owner took the council to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after the shire had knocked back what it said was a controversial proposal.

The VCAT overruled the council and approved a holiday resort incorporating a winery, sixhectare vineyard, function centre, restaurant, 80-room residential hotel, 472-site caravan and camping park, and golf driving range.

In November 2008, the shire granted an extension of time of 12 months. The latest date for starting the development became January 2010. The completion date remained January 2013.

On Tuesday night at the council’s development assessments meeting, Peninsula Junction asked for a two-year extension, allowing a starting date of 3 January 2015 with completion by January 2019.

A report to councillors by Arthur Cooksley of the shire’s planning department stated previous owners of the property had had time to at least

“On this basis alone, it can be argued that the permit holders have sought to ‘warehouse’ the permit rather than act on it.”

– Shire planner Arthur Cooksley start “landscaping works required in Stage 1 which are not dependent on the endorsement of all of the required plans and documents”.

“On this basis alone, it can be argued that the permit holders have sought to ‘warehouse’ the permit rather than act on it,” he stated.

Mr Cooksley said the new owner should be given an extension. “It would be unreasonable for the current owner to not be given the opportunity to demonstrate bona fide intentions to proceed with the proposal.

“A two-year extension of the permit would thus be appropriate and would provide that opportunity.”

Councillors Andrew Dixon and Frank Martin agreed and moved a motion approving the extension.

It was defeated eight votes to two.

Given the number of times the McLears Hill proposal has been to the VCAT, it is likely Peninsula Junction Pty Ltd will challenge the council’s decision.

Peninsula Junction could not be contacted before deadline.

Distress over hospital delays

By Keith Platt DAVID Stanton is anxiously awaiting the result of medical tests.

The examination was due late last week but he believes it should have been done three weeks ago.

The drawn-out procedure to discover why he coughed up “cupfuls of blood” began in the early hours of Tuesday 21 May. He woke up coughing in the middle of the night at his Tootgarook home but, because it was dark, did not realise until the morning that he had been coughing up blood.

An invalid pensioner in his mid-70s, Mr Stanton, who suffers from several “age-related problems”, called an ambulance to take him to Frankston Hospital.

“I wanted to be treated as though something was wrong, but it was an absolute disgrace,” he said.

Mr Stanton fears the blood comes from an internal growth and that valuable time has been lost in diagnosing his problem.

He has outlined his dissatisfaction in a long letter to hospital CEO Sherene Devenson and Peninsula Health board chairperson Nancy Hogan, with copies also going to state and federal politicians.

In the letter he describes fearing the blood came from a ruptured growth near his stomach and believes he should have received an internal examination as well as a blood test.

Mr Stanton was discharged in the afternoon and told by a doctor that someone would contact him to arrange

having a throat examination.

“At this stage, no one had formed an opinion regarding what caused me to vomit dark blood from my digestive region and I was disappointed that I was not having an internal examination prior to being sent home,” Mr Stanton stated in his letter.

Nine days later he called the hospital and was told he was not listed for an examination but inquiries would be made.

A day later he called again and was told to await a return call.

Annoyed, he wrote the letter of complaint and his belief that standards at the hospital have dropped.

“The delay is causing me concern and is a complete contradiction of my treatment during previous admissions to Frankston Hospital over the past 10 years regarding age-related ailments,” he stated.

“The problem with Frankston seems

to be with the hospital management… the line of ambulances with their crew waiting for admission to ED is a terrible waste of manpower and equipment…”

Mr Stanton said the paramedics who transported him to hospital had told him there was no other ambulance available on the “entire Mornington Peninsula”.

“In most cases, peninsula residents have been paying their ambulance

subscriptions all their lives and I think they deserve better service than they’re getting at this time,” Mr Stanton said.

A hospital spokesperson said records showed it was “an extremely hectic day in the emergency department” when Mr Stanton arrived.

“We understand his natural anxiety but reiterate he received prompt and appropriate care and the best course of action is for him to follow the advice given on the day,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said Mr Stanton received “prompt and appropriate care”, being triaged as a category 4 patient at 12.21pm after arriving by ambulance.

“Examinations, tests and waiting for results occurred over the next four hours and he was provided with a detailed discharge summary at 4.37pm,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said the summary had been discussed with Mr Stanton, who left the hospital at about 5.45pm.

The discharge summary had been simultaneously emailed to his family GP and included a request that Mr Stanton be referred to a specialist.

Mr Stanton said Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt had written back saying he would follow up his complaints.

He had received no reply from state MP for Nepean, Martin Dixon, “who is renowned for being low key”.

“That may be a bloody blessing really; I think we’ve all had enough of politicians and their pollie speak.”

Cinderella alert to CELSIUS ‘stranger danger’ FORMER Mt Martha resident and Rosebud College student Alli Pope-Bailey is spearheading a live theatre performance to educate children about “stranger danger”.

Now living at Noosa Heads, Queensland, Ms Pope-Bailey is raising money for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation by touring Cinderella at the Disco at venues along the east coast of Australia.

Brett Peter Cowan has been charged with the abduction and murder of 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe who disappeared while waiting for a bus on the Sunshine Coast in December 2003.

“We’ve been friends and supporters of [Daniel’s parents] Denise and Bruce for a very long time and we truly admire the way they’ve turned such a personal tragedy around to benefit others,” Ms Bailey said.

“They’re regularly visiting schools and talking to kids, teachers and parents.

“Our approach, through an interactive performance is slightly different – it encourages the children to get up on the stage and become a part of the show. We’ve recognised the key messages become absorbed more readily via the characters in the show.”

Ms Bailey has rewritten the “old favourite” Cinderella, which, along with previous productions Snow White and the Seven Cool Dudes, Aladdin and his Magic I-Pod and Goldilocks Rocks, “deliver strong messages on stranger danger, bullying and respect.

“It’s our aim to educate and stimulate the minds of our young audience through live performance,” Ms Bailey said.

Safety in mind: Writer Alli Pope-Bailey uses live performances to bring safety messages home to school-aged children.

“The original storyline of Cinderella, her fairy godmother and the prince remains with a slightly modern twist, a little disco music, plenty of silliness and some valuable lessons on child safety, in line with the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.”

Author sails into novel 70th celebration SOME people jump from a plane or go up in a balloon to mark their 70th birthday but Fran Henke has published her first novel, based on a true story of love and survival in the early days of Victoria.

The Hastings authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Other Side of the Wind: A Story of Survival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be launched later this month by Dr Mary Ann Ghaffurian, daughter of Lucy Purcell who more than 20 years ago told Mrs Henke about the arrival of her ancestors in Geelong.

Author of 13 non-fiction books, Mrs Henke, a polio survivor, always wanted to write fiction but journalism and other tasks intervened.

A career in print, radio and publishing saw her working in London, Sydney, Melbourne and on local newspapers including the former Hastingsbased Independent News Group.

Mrs Henke was a contributor to The News until last year, writing a column called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conversations with Fran Henkeâ&#x20AC;?, interviews with Western Port identities.

She spent almost four years as a member of the Commonwealth Film Censorship Board and has written books on gardening, leading to columns on gardens for magazines and newspapers.

As well as working as a media adviser for state and federal MPs, Mrs Henkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in raising awareness of

the needs of polio survivors has seen her win community service awards.

She is chair of the Polio Reference Group in Victoria.

The Geelong pioneersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story she heard in 1992 caught her imagination.

Extensive research brought the story to life and led her to write the novel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs Purcell told me her ancestors came out to Australia on a sailing ship, landing at Point Henry near Geelong,â&#x20AC;?

Mrs Henke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no wharf in those days so boxes and bags were thrown onto the beach. The couple found one was missing, so the husband when back to the ship to find it, but the wind changed and the ship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with him on board â&#x20AC;&#x201C; took off through The Heads, leaving his wife stranded on the beach. It took him six months to get back to Australia.â&#x20AC;?

Her novel is set in 1851 in the new colony of Victoria. Boom town Geelong had grown on the sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back and had become the main destination for people arriving from many nations to join the gold rush.

Migrants were making new lives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; conservative graziers, bureaucrats with brutal pasts in the penal settlements, extroverted individuals determined to make their fortunes, and ordinary folk escaping the â&#x20AC;&#x153;clearancesâ&#x20AC;? in Scotland and Ireland, when people were forced off the land by aristocratic landowners,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Henke said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women played a key role in the new colony, throwing off the shackles of old world convention, blazing trails in unexpected directions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were striving to survive, to bring kindness and quality to the maledominated society with its military rule under pressure from free settlers and free thinkers.â&#x20AC;?

This is the world to which newly married couple Edward and Catherine Anderson arrive. They become separated after a wind shift sees Edward left on the vessel they arrived on and Catherine stranded in the new colony.

The story answers the questions: how will the fragile artist Edward cope again at sea? How will Catherine manage in the frontier town without money and her beloved husband?

Fran Henke celebrates her birthday with the launch of her novel on 20 June and 22 June.

The first will be in what she calls her â&#x20AC;&#x153;home countryâ&#x20AC;? of Gippsland by Mirboo North bookseller Susan Lendon.

The second is at a private function in Mornington on 22 June when the book will be launched by Dr Mary Ann Ghaffurian. ď Ž The Other Side of the Wind: A Story of Survival, by Frances Henke, RRP $25 is available at selected Mornington Peninsula bookshops, Hastings Newsagency or from the author, phone 5979 7274 or email fhenke@big pond.net.au

Birthday book: Peninsula journalist and polio activist Fran Henke has written her first novel after penning 13 gardening and craft books. It is being launched on her 70th birthday. Her Tibetan spaniel Raj, above, is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;characterâ&#x20AC;? in the novel. Picture: Ben Loois

Talk leads the way along nature trail VISITORS to the Balcombe Creek estuary at Mt Martha can now be “talked” around a tour of the area’s natural attractions and also learn about its history.

Nine audio stations can be accessed by phone or hand-held computers on the tour, with separate recordings available for adults and children.

The Balcombe Estuary Reserves Group’s Yellow Robin Audio Trail was launched by Flinders MP Greg Hunt on Tuesday 11 June with Mt Martha Primary grade 4 students planting their own “flock” of yellow robins before test driving the children’s trail suitably equipped with smart phones and internet-enabled tablets.

The various audio files can answer a range of unusual questions, such as how comfy is a paperbark bed, why Aboriginal people burnt the bush and what is a pobblebonk?

The audio trail, with a children’s option narrated by Wally the Wallaby and a general version for adults, introduces listeners to the vegetation and animal communities, history and traditional owners of the estuarine and creek area.

Topics covered on the audio files include: A time in history, a time past; Butterfly ballet; History on show; Estuaries – nature’s filter; Rehabilitating a resource; Sitting on the dock… of the estuary; Connecting your senses; and Burning to bring new life.

“We want people to become more engaged and involved with their environment, and in conserving special natural places like Balcombe Creek and the reserves,” BERG Mt Martha’s field officer Liz Barraclough said.

“We’d like adults and children to learn the stories and lessons that nature has for us.”

Quarry tip opposition mounts

By Mike Hast OPPOSITION to the proposed rubbish tip in an old quarry on Arthurs Seat is mounting with more than 500 people packing Dromana Hall on Saturday of the Queen’s Birthday long weekene for the first meeting of Peninsula Preservation Group.

It was likely the largest protest meeting on the southern peninsula since the anti-dredging rally on Rosebud foreshore in February 2008.

People who could not get into the hall stood outside, watching and listening through open windows.

Tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management, owned by R E Ross Trust, has asked the Environment Protection Authority to approve its plan. It also needs the OK from Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Meeting MC Lee Burton, of PPG’s communications sub-committee, said the main purpose of the meeting was to tell people more about the proposed tip and to encourage objectors to make submissions to the EPA by 19 June.

If enough people objected, the EPA would call a 20B conference, she said.

“It is a forum to address the public’s concerns and allows for a greater scrutiny of the viability and risks associated with the proposal.”

Ms Burton told the meeting that deals had been done behind closed doors for 10 or more years. “We will fight this tip till our last breath,” she said.

The group had 16,000 supporters including more than 10,000 signing online and paper petitions, she said.

The first speaker, Mary Karamitsios, a PPG member, said she was “an angry Dromana resident” and the mother of young children who was concerned about the rubbish tip and its legacy after it closes in about 20 years.

“Peninsula Waste Management has made three claims: that the tip will be safe, is necessary and that there are no alternative sites. This is a load of rubbish,” she said.

Ms Karamitsios said the shire council had earmarked the old Pioneer quarry as a tip in 1996, two years before it was bought by the Ross Trust.

She said 70 per cent of rubbish would come from outside the shire so “this is clearly not about Mornington Peninsula needs”.

The Hallam Rd tip in Hampton Park, operated by SITA, would be open until 2040 and the tip at Clayton until 2020, she said.

It was common for councils to take their rubbish to distant tips. “Both Yarra Ranges and Macedon Ranges councils take their rubbish to tips in Melbourne,” she said.

Ms Karamitsios said the shire promoted zero waste but putting a tip at Arthurs Seat was “locking us into an old-style rubbish tip for 20 years” and “couldn’t be further from the shire’s stated aim of being a sustainable peninsula”.

PPG’s vice-president Mark Fancett, who holds a PhD in biological science, told the meeting the tip would be bigger than the existing quarry pit.

He said the lake in the quarry was about 100 metres by 200 metres but “the application is for a landfill of six hectares and waste will be stacked 100 metres high; a mountain of rubbish,” he said.

The aim of dumping 150,000 tonnes of rubbish each year in the old quarry was “three times the amount of waste dumped in the shire’s Rye landfill each year”, he said.

Pipes to remove leachate (rain and ground water mixed with pollutants and chemicals in the rubbish) would be laid at the bottom of the quarry and

could not be repaired once covered with rubbish.

Dr Fancett said he was worried about the quarry pit liner – layers of rock, gravel, a thin layer of plastic and geotextile material to prevent the plastic being holed or torn.

Again, once the liner was covered with rubbish, it could not be fixed if damaged.

Attaching the liner to the quarry sides would be problematic, he said.

The weight of rubbish could tear the liner off the pit sides and the joins might leak as well.

Any leakage could end up in Sheepwash Creek, which runs into Port Phillip at Safety Beach, he said.

Dr Fancett said Peninsula Waste Management would install two threemillion litre tanks to hold the leachate, which would be removed by road tankers, up to 15 a day with more during heavy rain events.

“After the first two years, PWM says it wants to tap into the sewage system and pump leachate to the Boneo sewage treatment plant,” he said.

Chemicals in the leachate could kill the bacteria that processes sewage, he said.

“A tip of this size should have extensive treatment ponds but there is not enough room.”

He said leachate pumps would need to operate for 30 to 40 years, long after the tip had been filled and closed.

Dr Fancett said 70 to 100 rubbish trucks a day would bring 550 tonnes to the tip, which would be open 7am-4pm weekdays and 8am-1pm on Saturdays.

Initial information was trucks would use Collins Rd through Dromana’s light industrial area but PWM’s recently released traffic report stated trucks collecting rubbish from the southern peninsula would exit Mornington Peninsula Freeway at McCulloch St near Dromana Primary School.

“The trucks will have to negotiate the tricky intersection before entering Boundary Rd then travel almost the full length of Boundary Rd,” he said.

Methane gas generated by the tip would be burnt off for the first two years and then used in gas-fired turbines to generate electricity, he said.

“Operating times of the turbines are not covered in the PWM proposal,” he said.

Methane would last for up to 80 years after the tip had been filled and closed.

“This will be a legacy not just for our grandchildren but also for our greatgrandchildren.

“Will PWM even be in business?”

Seagulls, ravens and other birds attracted to the tip would be scared off by explosive cartridge devices called Birdfrite that produced noise of 140 decibels. (Equivalent to a jet engine 30 metres away.)

Dr Fancett said he was concerned about odour from the tip. The Hallam Rd landfill had experienced longrunning complaints from residents of Hampton Park living up to three kilometres from the tip.

The EPA had forced SITA to close one cell of its tip because of odour complaints.

“This can’t occur at the old quarry.

It’s a single-cell tip. PWM states the odour will travel just 200 metres.”

Dromana cattle grazier Andrew Duncan told the meeting he was worried about pollution of Sheepwash Creek, which ran through his property and fed a wetland established by his father in the mid-1980s.

Leachate entering the creek could affect the organic certification of Diggers Seeds, which was opposite the tip site on Boundary Rd. It employed 60

People and horse power: Alice Hodges, left and Karin Wilson brought to the meeting Willow Lodge Blackie sporting a coat with anti-tip slogans. Blackie was a popular subject with amateur and professional photographers. Top, meeting organisers said more than 500 people were inside and outside the hall. Pictures: Katherine Jamison

people there and another 20 at Heronswood, he said.

Mussel farms at Dromana Bay and Mt Martha could be affected.

“This is an absurd proposal that will affect residents and tourists,” he said.

“What’s going into septic tanks is what we are hearing from Peninsula Waste Management.”

Mr Duncan said the Ross Trust should hang its head in shame for “this dumb proposal”.

“The only way to stop it is community pressure,” he said to loud applause.

Lee Burton said the quarry was in one of the highest fire danger areas of Victoria before she introduced Dr Janet Stanley, who said the landfill would “double the fire risk in the area” putting residents and Red Hill Consolidated School at risk.

Dr Stanley said the proposed tip was between two sections of Arthurs Seat State Park, home to threatened fauna such as the southern brown bandicoot and birds like Lewin’s Rail, white-bellied sea eagle and powerful owl.

There were 32 species of regional significance and 11 of high local significance.

It would negatively impact on four threatened flora species in the state park – purple eyebright, clover gly-

cine, green leech-orchid and tall wallaby-grass – as well as many others.

Kathryn Downs, a solicitor, told the meeting that world’s best practice and technology can’t protect people and the environment “if the site is wrong to start with”.

There was a risk of the liner failing and leachate leaking from the quarry if the pumps failed, she said.

EPA guidelines declared that landfills must not leave an unacceptable legacy to the community.

Ms Downs cited the Brookland Greens housing estate in Cranbourne where methane gas leaking from the closed Stevensons Rd landfill had forced people from their homes, devalued property values and cost the cities of Casey and Frankston $13 million and the EPA $10 million in a class action.

“Casey and Frankston are still fighting over the cost,” she said.

Ms Downs told the packed hall: “If you don’t object [to the tip], don’t complain when it goes in.

“Get your kids to write to the EPA and draw pictures because they will cop this.”

She said the matter was guaranteed to end up in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

“This will be expensive and we’ll need 1000 donations of $100 to pay legal fees.”

PPG volunteers had put in hundreds of hours of work.

“We ask you to sign up, donate and get involved.”

The final speaker, Dr John Stanley, said it was a “scandalous project”, the worst he had seen in more than 40 years of involvement in public policy.

There would be healthy and safety risks for the community and damage to the environment.

Extra truck traffic near Dromana Primary School and the fire risk at Red Hill Consolidated School were major concerns, he said.

“No conditions can make this safe,” he said.

“We need to send a strong message to the EPA and ask it to send PWM packing. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors need the courage to say no.”  Peninsula Preservation Group’s website: savearthursseat.com Its petition is at: www.communityrun. org/petitions/save-arthurs-seat  Peninsula Waste Management’s website: peninsulawaste.com.au  There is information on the shire website: www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Fruitgrowers’ prosperous year, shock over Mornington rider’s death Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard 21 June 1913.

THE annual meeting of the Somerville Fruitgrowers Association was held at Somerville on Monday evening, when there was a good attendance of members and friends present, also a number of the ladies of the SFGL. The president of the association (Cr Griffeth) occupied the chair.

Mrs Shepherd, secretary of the SFLG (who was received with applause) reported that her guild had commenced operations with a membership of 35; the members’ roll was now 66 – an increase of 31. The takings for the year ending 30th April, 1913, had been £197 7s 10d, with expenses amounting to £39 7s 2d, leaving a profit of £158 0s 8d.

Mr Keast moved that £50 be deposited in the State Savings Bank in the name of the association and that £38 go to the association; to recoup them for what they had spent. Seconded by Mr Reed.

Mr S S Gault moved as an amendment, that the money be put in the bank in the name of the Ladies’ Guild.

The amendment was carried.

The secretary, in his report, said that the association’s past year had been the most venturesome and the most successful on record. *** MR D J B Tait, of Mornington, has disposed of his business and he and Mrs Tait are leaving shortly for fresh fields. A meeting of friends will be held in the library, Mechanics’ Hall, Mornington, on Monday evening next, to consider the matter of a suitable send off. ***

ON Monday last, 16th inst, there were united in the bonds of matrimony, at Holy Trinity, Hastings, by Rev C Eva. Edward Alfonso, eldest son of Mr E Rowlen, of Windsor, to Florence, third daughter of Mr E. Howell, of Tyabb.

The bride was given away by her father and was beautifully gowned in white satin, veiled with ninon, wearing a handsome wreath of orange blossoms and veil, with necklace of pearls, and carrying a beautiful shower bouquet of white roses, white azaleas and asparagus fern.

The bridesmaids were Misses Alice and Bertha Howell, sisters of the bride, who were prettily dressed in white crepe-de-chene with fischus of lace trimmed with pearls, carrying bouquets of white roses, violets and asparagus fern, and wearing Nellie Stewart bangles (gifts of the bridegroom). The two little train-bearers were Miss Alice and Master Clifford Gcdding. Mr A Howell filled the role of best man.

After the ceremony the happy couple and their relatives adjourned to the residence of the bride’s parents, where they partook of the wedding breakfast, and afterwards left by the 4.20 pm train for their new home in Toorak.

Later in the evening about 80 or so of the local friends of the bride responded to the kind invitation of her parents to attend at the Tyabb Hall, where a most enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, singing, and games, and afterwards sat down to a most sumptuous supper in the ante-room, where the tables were most tastefully laid out with an abundance of the tastiest dainties. *** MR S S Price, dentist, notifies that he

will be in attendance at his rooms at Frankston, on 29th June, and 13th and 27th July. *** A SALE of gifts in connection with the Frankston Christian Endeavour will be opened in the Methodist Church School room by Mrs Jackson, at 3 o’clock this (Saturday) afternoon The admission is free and everyone is cordially invited. *** THE president of the Mornington Shire (Cr Male) has received the annual allowance from the executors of the late E. Weigall’s estate, for distribution among the poor of Mornington and Hastings and will be pleased to hear of any deserving cases needing assistance. *** MR G T Jenkins, of Mornington, has purchased the up-to-date grocery business of Messrs Rice and Woodhouse, of Maffra. It is not Mr Jenkins’ intention to leave Mornington as the business will be conducted by his two sons, who will take possession on the lst July next. *** WE are very sorry to learn of the death of Mr Charles Berglund, eldest son of Mr F Berglund, of Mornington, which occurred at Perth, WA, on Saturday last whilst riding Mangonel in the Gold Fields’ Purse. The deceased, who was 25 years of age, was only married recently. *** ON Wednesday, 25th June, Mr W A Korner will dispose of the furniture and effects of Miss Raven, at Mornington. On Friday next, 27th June, a large clearing sale of farm horses, machinery, and sundries will be con-

ducted at Ingle Park, Bittern, by order of N K Ingham, Esq, by Messrs T R B Morton and Son. *** F N FAIRS notifies patients that his hours at Somerville this Monday only, June 22nd, will be 10.20 till 11.30; also that he will make a special visit to Hastings on Friday, June 27th, hours 11.15 till 3.30. Call early and avoid disappointment. *** THE gold medal presented by Mr Marchant for the best all-round player in last Saturday’s football match, Mornington v Naval Base, was decided by the audience at Marchant’s Royal Picture show on Wednesday night last in the Mechanics’ Institute, and was awarded to Mr Albert James, of the Mornington Football Club. *** THE hall was packed when an adjournment was made there, the members of the Fruitgrowers’ Association having arranged a social and supper in honour of the ladies who had so generously assisted them during the year.

Mr C Grant occupied the chair and proceedings opened with an overture

by Miss O Sherlock, which was followed by a recitation by Mr Herbert Woodhouse. Mr Earp was heard to advantage in The Toreador, from Carmen. He was followed by Miss Burn, who rendered her song in good style.

Mr Walter Jennings then rendered a song in first-class style and had to respond to an encore.

Supper was the next item on the programme and the long tables, literally groaning under their burden of good things and nicely decorated with flowers, were soon surrounded. A splendid supper had been provided, and after

every one had taken the edge off their appetite, Cr Griffeth proposed a vote of thanks to the ladies of the SFLG, and in a felicitious speech feelingly thanked the ladies for their past good services. Mr S S Gault ably seconded the motion, and the new president of the association (Mr Grant) supported the previous speakers.

Mrs Griffeth, the president of the Ladies’ Guild, responded, and said it gave her great pleasure to hear the kind things about her guild and to know that their services had been appreciated. She thought the guild a grand thing, and that the show building would remain a fitting monument to all who assisted.

Mrs Shepherd, the secretary of the guild, also responded, and said she was pleased to be present and deeply appreciated the compliment of the association in entertaining them. They did not expect it, which made them all the more appreciative. Some people objected to there being a ladies’ guild to assist the show association but she thought it a good thing. The past year had been a successful one and she hoped the next would be even more so. They could show a splendid credit balance and the Fruitgrowers’ Association should take a lesson from their methods of finance.

The concert programme was then gone on with, the following lady and gentlemen taking part: Song, Mr Earp (encore); song, Miss Burn; song, Mrs Jennings (encore); recitation, Mr Woodhouse (encore).

The singing of the national anthem brought to a conclusion an entertainment in keeping with the successful year experienced by the Fruitgrowers’ Association and the Ladies’ Guild.

Bananadrama: why B1 and B2 had to go

By Stuart McCullough IT was only a matter of time. When you’re super-famous, it’s almost inevitable that you’ll end up flying a little too high, a little too close to the sun. Most of us would end up getting burned eventually. But if you happen to be a banana, you also run a serious risk of turning brown well before your time.

The constant adulation from adoring fans, the extreme wealth, the red carpets ¬ it’s bound to get to you eventually. When the ABC announced that Bananas in Pyjamas would not be renewed, reference was made to revenue issues. This, quite frankly, ignores the fact that B1 and B2 have been out of control for some time now.

Breakout roles for large pieces of fruit are rare within the entertainment industry. This is especially so for bananas. In the early days of film, bananas were often typecast: sidelined as being little more than skins on which comic actors would slip and fall. It wasn’t until 1967 and the acclaimed film adaptation of Tolstoy’s classic, Banana Karenina that fruit started to be viewed seriously in Hollywood.

Even then, it would be several more decades before B1 and B2 would eventually stand astride the world, a mighty fruit colossus.

B1 (real name Brian Slagg) was born on the Sunshine Coast. A trou-

After small roles in Home and Away and Neighbours, Brian first drew serious attention after his acclaimed performance as Willy Loman in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. But despite the magazine covers and the awards, it was a chance meeting on the number 67 tram that was to change his life forever.

Barry Cavendish never wanted to be an actor. A shy child who dreamed of playing football for North Melbourne,

he was renting a flat in Carnegie when he first met Brian. As he recounted to the New York Times in 1994: “It was clear that we should work together.

The chemistry was obvious.” Before breaking into the big time, they honed their act at hundreds of amateur nights and talent competitions.

“It was a difficult time,” recounted B1. “Those early audiences just didn’t get us. There were plenty of hecklers.’

Even worse, some people even tossed fruit at the budding superstars. It was a shock,” said B2. “They had no idea how insensitive they were being. It’s

horrifying to be a working piece of fruit and to have someone throw a tomato at you. I’d be standing there and I’d suddenly catch a glimpse of a relative sailing past. It was pretty awful.”

Their luck changed when Play School agreed to include Brian and Barry – now calling themselves Bananas in Pyjamas – in an animated sequence as part of the show. Just as The Simpsons had started off as a segment on Tracy Ullman’s program, it became obvious to everyone that B1 and B2 deserved a show of their own.

They got it in 1991. Originally, the Bananas had wanted to do a hard-hitting current affairs program but were eventually persuaded to do something for children. Despite their reservations, the result was a worldwide smash.

It’s impossible to downplay the impact of B1 and B2. Suddenly, doors were opening up. “It was nothing short of a fruit frenzy,” recalled B2 this week. There was the celebrated ensemble work Fruit Salad by the Wiggles and both Barry and Brian were inundated with offers. B1 was the first to establish a movie career with the Western epic, High Plantain Drifter, whilst B2 chose more offbeat roles, including the cult classic Edward Bananahands. Having struggled for so long, the Bananas were eager to cash in. There were books, DVDs, soft toys and even their own fragrance; and they swiftly became a moneymaking

GROUP FITNESS

machine. But as their fame grew and they started to earn some serious banana bread, Barry and Brian began to drift apart.

When news surfaced that Brian had lost the lead role in Baz Lurhman’s, The Grape Gatsby, a troubled portrait began to emerge. Pictures of a clearly dishevelled B1 stumbling out of nightclubs and abusing photographers began to appear weekly in gossip magazines. B2, on the other hand, seemed to turn his back on acting altogether; releasing an album instead. Although a commercial flop, it’s hard not to listen to Barry’s rendition of Harry Belafonte’s Banana Boat Song and not feel a little emotional. The cracks were starting to appear. Although the recent announcement caught many by surprise, to me it was inevitable.

Fame is terrible thing and extracts a high price from those who seek it. My only hope is that B1 and B2 managed to pull themselves together. I realise they may each be tempted to pursue solo careers, maybe with a view to lucrative reunion shows somewhere down the track. For all of the tragedy, it’s worth celebrating the fact that the Bananas have almost chalked up 21 years. It’s a remarkable achievement. I can barely get mine to make it through to the end of the week. In their prime, they were entertaining as well as healthy. Remember them this way. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance GO Show Gold! is back again with a line-up featuring some of the artists who became household names in the 1960s by performing on the GO!!

Show, Australia’s first national liveto-air pop program.

The show was hosted by Ian Turpie and later Johnny Young with Bruce Rowland as musical director.

The demand for another concert has been incredible and fans are sure to love the line-up that will feature at the Palais Theatre on 10 August.

Performers will include Normie Rowe, Johnny Young, Ronnie Burns, Colleen Hewett, Glenn Shorrock, Brian Cadd, Ronnie Charles, Dinah Lee, Ross D Wyllie and Tony Worsley.

Hits will include Smiley, The Star, Oh La La, Day By Day, Step Back, Dream Lover, Ginger Man, Katy Jane, Don’t You Know Yockomo and Velvet Waters.

The evening will feature the songs that made these artists famous along with duos from Brian Cadd and Glenn Shorrock, Ronnie Burns and Johnny Young, and Ronnie Charles and Brian Cadd, which will ensure a night of great memories and musical highlights.

There will be a tribute to Ian Turpie and Daryl Cotton who both performed in the 2012 Go Show Gold and have died in the past 12 months.

The Go!! Show hit television screens in 1964 to become the must-watch music show for a new generation of teenagers. It was a ground-breaking phenomenon when it went to air, introducing live and local pop music for the first time.

It came to television soon after

Straight to the pool room: Robert Rigby, managing director of Ambition Music Group, presents Russell Morris and album producer Mitch Cairns with gold album mementoes celebrating sales in excess of 35,000 for the blues album Sharkmouth.

the hugely successful tour by The Beatles, creating the perfect vehicle for a stable of Australian teen stars and changing the lives of Baby Boomers.

Tickets are on sale 136100 or www. ticketmaster.com.au *** A GIANT lizard that lived 40 million years ago has been named in honour of rock legend Jim Morrison.

Barbaturex morrisoni measured about 1.8 metres from snout to tail.

The Doors singer Morrison was famed for his fascination with reptiles and shamanism.

On 3 July 1971, Morrison got up to take an early morning bath in his Paris apartment. Later that morning his wife Pamela found him dead in the bathtub with a smile on his face.

The story of The Doors effectively ended with the death of Morrison.

Kriger, Manzarek and Densmore were all fine musicians but Morrison

embodied the spirit of the band. *** THE Production Company celebrates 15 years this year with three of the greatest musicals of all time: Gypsy, Singin’ in the Rain and Broadway’s The Pirates of Penzance.

The season opens with Gypsy at the State Theatre, Arts Centre, 6-14 July with matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

Artistic director Ken MackenzieForbes has announced the complete cast: Matt Hetherington (The Voice, Promises, Promises) joins as Herbie, the candy salesman who falls for Rose and becomes her manager.

Christina Tan (Mary Poppins, Wicked) is Louise, who becomes Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous burlesque star. More Melbourne talent in Gemma-Ashley Kaplan, Nicki Wendt, Anne Wood and Nathan Pinnell complete the cast.

In total, the company for Gypsy

FRANKSTON ON THE PARK FUNCTION CENTRE WE SPECIALISE IN CATERING FOR: Weddings, Birthdays, Anniversaries & Business Meetings

comprises 28 artists, 27 musicians from Orchestra Victoria and a small dog called Chowsie.

Ken Mackenzie-Forbes said: “Gypsy is a star vehicle for its leading ladies and we have a firstrate company, directed by the brilliant Gale Edwards, to make this a standout celebration to open the company’s 15th season.”

Book on 1300 136 166 or at www. theproductioncompany.com.au *** REVHEAD action movie Fast & Furious 6 starring Vin Diesel has raced to the top of the Aussie box office with a $2.07 million opening day.

This beats The Hangover Part III, which took $1.7 million, and The Great Gatsby’s $1.1 million, both of which opened last month.

Iron Man 3 looks like holding the record for some time after opening in April with $3.4 million. *** RUSSELL Morris’s landmark Australian blues album Sharkmouth has officially reached gold sales status.

A TV special is in production on the making of the album and will feature the historical stories on which the songs are based. It will air later this year.

Sharkmouth is the singer’s first top 10 album having spent more than 10 weeks in the ARIA album chart and showing no signs of stopping.

Morris performs at the Wangaratta Jazz festival in November as well as Deniliquin Muster, Bendigo Festival and the Anglesea Music Festival in October.

By Gary Turner From 1967 to 1972 Morris had nine hit singles. www.sharmouthmusic.com *** SIR Paul McCartney paid tribute to Elvis Presley by placing a guitar pick on a memorial to The King at his former home in Memphis, Tennessee.

McCartney, who was in the city to perform, made a special trip to Graceland, where Presley died in 1977. The estate is now a museum.

Presley sold more than 70 million records in his career and had more than 25 number one singles between 1956 and 1975.

Heartbreak Hotel landed on the number one spot in 1956. It featured Floyd Cramer on piano and Chet Atkins on guitar. After the studio recording, Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told a reporter the record was so bad he was thinking of withdrawing it. It was released a month later, in May 1956, and was an instant hit. More than 28 million copies have been sold.

Burning Love is my favourite Presley record. It features James Burton who played on recordings with Ricky Nelson, Emmylou Harris and John Denver.

John Lennon once said: “Nothing really affected me until l heard Elvis.

If there hadn’t been an Elvis, there wouldn’t have been The Beatles.”

Presley died on 6 August 1977 but the legend lives on.

scoreboard Redlegs do away with the Doggies in the local derby, but only after a scare PENINSULA LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly AT the beginning of round 10 in Peninsula League, never had we seen a ladder like it.

Seven teams shared second place on the ladder, only percentage separating second place Karingal from eighth placed Seaford.

It proved one thing, that the 2013 Peninsula League season was very even.

Even the previously indestructible Frankston YCW had lost two games in the previous three rounds, smashed by both Edithvale and Mt Eliza.

At the other end of the ledger, Langwarrin, which sat second bottom on the table, overran Bonbeach in Round 9.

On Saturday, the Kangaroos were able to repeat the performance, smashing Seaford for the second time this season.

In Peninsula League, you have to be at your best to win matches.

With a very ordinary percentage, Seaford is now in a little strife in eighth place.

They will need to rely on wins to make finals. Considering they have been beaten by Langwarrin twice, one really does wonder whether they are in

the best five sides in the competition.

Take nothing away from Langwarrin though. The Kangas fielded their strongest side of the year in round one and have done so again in the past two weeks – all three matches have been their only wins.

The Kangas simply are not far off the mark. They should have beaten Chelsea after being up by eight goals in the second quarter, should have beaten Mt Eliza and had their chances against both Mornington and Edithvale. Win two of these four games and Langwarrin too would have been pushing for the five.

It’s (the final five) is going to go down to the wire.

Langwarrin was never in any doubt against Seaford on Saturday, leading by four goals at quarter time and going on to win 14.12-96 to 7.11-53.

For the second week in a row the Kangas played out the full four quarters, out scoring the opposition in the last.

Before the match, young gun Jarryd Amalfi, who missed the first seven games with an ankle injury, said his side was primed to beat Seaford.

“We’re really confident that we will go to Seaford and beat them,” Amalfi said.

“Our defence is fantastic at the moment, provides a lot of run and drive and we think we have the weapons up forward to kick a winning score,” he said.

Through the mid fielders in Beau Muston, Daniel Wehner and Shane Urbans, together with Matty Naughton in the ruck, the side looks more than competitive.

It certainly was on Saturday. Luke Damon booted three and another two came from the likes of Andy Johnson, Shaun herdman and Aaron Shaw.

Michael Parker was at his best after a slow start to the season and Andrew Withers was at his best across half back.

There weren’t a lot of winners for Seaford.

Mark Di Blasio and Brad Doyle worked tirelessly and Aaron Walton and Brayden Irving led from the front.

Frankston YCW made life even tougher for Bonbeach on Saturday, beating the Sharks in their own waters by more than five goals.

Only 14 points separated the sides at half time and 24 points was the margin at three quarter time, however, the Stonecats lifted one more gear in the final term and won comfortably, 12.13-85 to 8.4-52.

Michie gone for Blues

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly Hastings coach Glenn Michie told his players before training on Thursday night that he would not be coaching them beyond this season.

Despite having his contract extended last season to beyond 2013, Michie told the Hastings Football Club that he thought it would be best for all concerned that he step aside at the end of the season.

Michie told the executives of the club earlier in the week of his decision, before sharing it with the players.

The resignation sparked some sensational form from his team on Saturday in its match against Tyabb, winning by a massive 116 points.

For Michie though, Saturday’s result against the Yabbies was too little too late.

Michie said he no longer believed that he could get the best out of his players, which was causing him frustration and inconsistent performances from his players.

“I have been coaching and want to continue my coaching style with this group, however, I’m not sure it’s what the group wants anymore,” Michie said.

“I look at it like this; when I first started with Hastings, we were all on the bus together and were all committed to going in the same direction as quickly as we could,” Michie said.

“Now, I sense that the bus is on the side of the road and broken down. At times I’m on the bus with only a couple, others are standing around suggesting how to fix it but not doing anything to help and then there are some who are not interested on even getting on the bus at all.

“As a coach, you want to teach and inspire your players to be the best that they can be. I just don’t believe that I’m able to get the best out of them anymore.

“I certainly have a passion for coaching but it shouldn’t be about constant disappointment and frustration and that’s what I have felt consistently this year.

“I need to do what is best for me, my family and the Hastings Football Club.”

PAGE 40

Mornington News 18 June 2013

Former club president, stalwart and committee member, Kevin Miles, agreed totally with Michie.

“Glenn has always been extremely honest with the club and he was again last week,” Miles said.

“Glenn wasn’t enjoying his role as coach and thought that he couldn’t get the best out of the playing group any longer, it’s as simple as that.

“There certainly wasn’t any pressure from the club’s perspective that resulted in Glenn’s resignation, despite the fact that we obviously weren’t happy with the results this season.

“Glenn has been fantastic for this football club and he will be long remembered as a very good coach for the club.

“What Glenn’s resignation does do is allow us to start looking for another coach, much sooner than others in the market will be doing.

“I’m not sure what Glenn’s intentions are next season but he’s a great, honest, fella and the Hastings Football Club wishes him all the best,” Miles said.

Michie has not ruled out either coaching or playing in either the Nepean League or Peninsula League next season. No doubt his phone will be getting a workout in the coming weeks.

Two hats: Michie in the coaching role, and in full flights against Pearcedale in round 6.

Pictures: Andrew Hurst

David Bodley booted four for the winners and Ricky Morris three, while a further five players contributed majors on the scoreboard.

Ben Tellis was at his absolute best through the middle and resting in attack and Ryley Hodson and Jai Coghlan got plenty of the footy. Seasoned campaigners in Byron Barry and Brad Ulms did what they could to help their side to the win also.

Bonbeach again wasn’t able to go toe to toe with the opposition in the last quarter.

Dylan Jones took advantage of not have a recognised ruckman to compete against, continuing his outstanding season for the Sharks, while Shane McDonald and Ricky Ferraro were also at their best.

Bonbeach has now lost two matches on the trot.

Pines is now a game clear of the likes of Seaford, Bonbeach and now Karingal after beating the Bulls for the second time this season.

Only three points separated the teams at the last interval, however, the young Pythons were able to run out the game far stronger than the opposition, winning 14.15-99 to 10.10-70.

The Pythons booted six goals to two in the last, again proving that it is the

strongest running side late in the game in the competition.

Guy Hendry booted four goals and Dale Tedge three for the winners, while Brendan Cowell was one of the best players on the ground with three goals also.

Matt Goodman played his best game for the club and Shaun Stewart and Jake Prosser down back were fine contributors.

Callum Dixon was the best of the Bulls, while Kristian Bliesner worked hard. Justin Peckett and David Hirst were again amongst the best.

In Sunday’s matches, EdithvaleAspendale belted Chelsea by nearly a ton. The only disappointment for the Eagles was off-target kicking with 26 minors on their ledger. The final score was 19.26–140 to 7.5–47.

Mornington went down to Mt Eliza by eighteen points.

The job was always going to be difficult for the Doggies after the Redlegs got away to a five goal to zip first quarter.

Mornington staged a comeback in the last quarter booting 7.6 to Mt Eliza’s 1.2, but it wasn’t enough to get across the line.

The final score was 14.18–102 to 12.12–84.

Blues thump Yabbies, Eagles overcome Magies, but Sharks still in a league of their own NEPEAN LEAGUE

By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly DROMANA took its rightful place in the top two teams in the Nepean League competition with a commanding ten goal win against Frankston Bombers on Saturday.

Coming into the match, the Bombers held second place on the table after winning its first eight games.

Dromana of course lost to Sorrento on Easter Saturday after being more than five goals infront at three quarter time.

Many believed, including yours truly, that Dromana would win by between six and eight goals.

On form alone, Dromana is a one and a half to two goal better side per quarter than Frankston Bombers. The theory proved to be spot-on.

The Bombers certainly had their share of bad luck in the match. Defender Marcus Bate popped a shoulder in the first five minutes of the game, James Degenhardt was yellow-carded early in the first quarter, Jay Reynolds twisted a knee in the second quarter and coach Duncan Proud pinged a hamstring late in the game.

No bad luck for the Bombers may have changed the final margin, but it wouldn’t have changed the result.

Dromana was just far too good.

The Tigers defence, led by Ricky Johnson, Shaun Clarke, Jay Neratzoglou and Christian Ongarello was just superb.

Frankston’s forwards Zac Longham and Scott Foster worked hard enough, but they just couldn’t have an influence.

Up the other end, Dromana always looked like scoring when they got in there. Anthony Bruhn booted four first half goals, finished with five and should have kicked eight.

Terry Wheeler was the best player on the ground. Matched up on the dangerous Jason Bedford, Wheeler worked tirelessly both ways and was rewarded with three goals. Aaron Coyle played the same role on the other wing for the Tigers and booted two goals also.

Liam Hogan did a lot of the grunt work in the middle of the ground for the Tigers, along with Ryan Slocombe.

The Bombers did have some winners.

Haydn Moore was superb, rucking solo all day against Luke O’Neil, Michael Falconer and Stuart Cleeve.

Ryan Lonie had more than 20 disposals and kicked four goals, Jay Page worked hard from half back and Jason Kingsbury was clearly one of their best again playing on the ball.

The Bombers will go into the match against Sorrento this week minus their coach, Bate and Reynolds, however, should get back Brian O’Carroll and Shane Vandervalk.

Somerville has emerged as a genuine top five contender after beating Crib Point by 22 points on Saturday.

In a high scoring and very entertaining game of football, the Eagles smashed the Pies in the first half, leading by eight goals at the long break. The margin was still 32 points at three quarter time.

The win has pushed Somerville to sixth place on the ladder (16 points), just a game behind Pearcedale, which lost badly again on Saturday to Rye. The Eagles have beaten Hastings and Crib Point in successive weeks and had it beaten Devon Meadows in that nail– biter, would be sitting in the five right now. That loss might come back to haunt them.

On Saturday, Jed Sutton and Dylan Ryan with four goals each were sensational, while Nick Brown was again a great focal point across half forward.

Rowan Hogenbirk continues to dominate and Justin Allsop was also at his best.

The Magpies had no answers in the first half, despite Dean Karies finishing with four goals and Jon Flack dominating with three goals. David Cook and Neil Clark also worked hard for the black and white.

Devon Meadows played a more attacking style of play against Sorrento on Saturday and managed to kick ten goals for the afternoon. However, it couldn’t stop the Sharks having 45 scoring shots, booting 23 goals and winning by 90 points.

The Sharks had 13 goal scorers on Saturday, Leigh Poholke, Tyrren Head and James Hallahan all contributing three goals.

Trevor Mattison was outstanding on the wing and Daniel Grant, Leigh Treeby and Cayden Bettham all dominated on the ball. Ryan Jeffrey was also outstanding at centre half forward and the ruck.

After kicking eight goals in the Under 18s the week before, James Brigden made his debut for the Sharks.

Pat Harmes and Chris Doria worked hard for the Panthers down back and Heath Black and Ryan Talbot presented up forward. It was a much better performance from the Panthers than the one against Dromana the week before.

In bad news for the Panthers, important player Brandon Wapshott was reported by two umpires for striking Sorrento’s Ben Schwarze.

Rye was pretty good against Sorrento on the Queen’s Birthday weekend and backed-up that performance with a great win over Pearcedale.

Always tough to beat at Tractor Park, Rye had its work cut out, however, led by coach Ben Holmes with six goals, the Demons opened-up a match winning break at half time and went on to win 16.13-109 to 10.6-66.

Matty Siberas was also outstanding for the Demons with three goals while stars in Adam Kirkwood, Darren Booth and Rhett Sutton were at their best.

Daniel Murray booted four for the Dales and Khalid Foggi kicked a couple, while Travis Sauer, Chris Fortnam and Pat Gamble were named in Pearcedale’s best.

The Dales need to bounce back this week against Devon Meadows and get their season back on track after a couple of ordinary weeks. They maintain their position in the five, a game clear of Somerville and Crib Point and two games clear of Rye. Rosebud shored up its position in the top four and added some much needed percentage, beating Red Hill to the tune of nine goals.

It was a tight first half between the teams, just 13 points the difference at half time, however, through the likes of Matty Payne, Ryan Spooner and Greg Bentley, the Buds got on top in the second half.

Ben Shultz also played his best game for the season, kicking seven goals.

Ben Maguiness and Sean Holmes were amongst the best players for the Hillmen.

In the final game, Hastings responded to the resignation of coach Glenn Michie, belting neighbour Tyabb to the tune of 116 points.

Colin McVeigh booted six goals, Tony Mirabella five and Jason Kestle and Peter Mawson three each as the Blues booted 11 goals in the first half and another 13 in the second to win 24.13-157 to 5.11-41.

David Hull was outstanding for the Blues across four quarters and Luke Hewitt and Taylor Stratton were also amongst the best players on the park.

Justin Volk was Tyabb’s best, while Rowan McGrath, skipper Matty Dimkos and Ryan Jones were also hard workers for the Yabbies throughout the match.

Dolphins have another rough outing VFL

By Casey Franklin DESPITE the vast improvement of the Dolphins this year, they just can’t play four quarters of good consistent football and last weekend was no exception.

The Dolphins travelled to Preston City Oval to take on the 7th placed Blues. The Blues have had a rocky run these past few weeks and both sides gave themselves a decent chance of winning the match.

It was the Blues who started better with Kane Lambert having an impact immediately with a couple of touches and a goal.

From then on the goals kept rolling for the Blues, Mitchell, Hampson and Laidler kicked their first and Lambert added another goal to his total. Three of the four goals were from set shots which means the Frankston defenders were playing too loose on their opponents.

The majority of the first quarter was played in the Blues’ half with Frankston struggling to get the ball inside 50. On one of those few occasions where Frankston did enter the 50, Simon Hockey won the hard ball and hand balled to Sam Lloyd to kick Frankston’s first of the game.

Overall the first quarter was a demolition in favour of the Blues, their two ruckman Shaun Hampson and Robert Warnock were more than a match for Frankston’s Russell Gabriel. Their pressure was also superior making Frankston rush a lot of their disposal which lead to turnovers.

The second quarter was a much different story for the Dolphins who got themselves back into the game within 10 minutes off the back of some Khan Haretuku dominance. In the opening minute Haretuku took a screamer over Blues defender Matthew Watson and slotted his first. Two minutes later he won himself a free kick and kicked his second.

Blues ruckman Robert Warnock broke the scoring run with a quick goal, but Haretuku was able to win himself another free kick and score his third for the quarter. The Dolphins were playing a more composed game of football and weren’t giving the Blues any scoring opportunities.

When Frankston’s Sam Lloyd goaled from a set-shot, the Dolphins were within 10 points of the lead. However as they’ve done all year, the Dolphins intensity level dropped and the Northern Blues made them pay.

The talented youth of the Blues were in the forefront kicking the next three goals (Graham, Mitchell and Temay) and when Tom Wilson kicked their fourth unanswered goal the margin was nearing 40 points.

At half time the margin was 36 points in favour of the Blues.

For the Dolphins Riley Heddles had been playing a great match keeping Carlton star Chris Yarran reasonably quiet and Jake Dermott had been good rebounding off the half-back. For the Blues 20-year-old Dylan Buckley had been playing outstanding.

Football wise the third quarter turned out to be a dull affair, the Blues took their foot off the pedal and Frankston weren’t able to gain any ground on the scoreboard.

As the Dolphins tired their tempers boiled over and at times the umpire was forced to pay 50 metre penalties. Overall the Blues were only able to add one goal to their lead and no team scored after the 14 minute mark.

At three quarter time break Frankston coach Simon Goosey asked his team to play for pride and effort and in a way they did. For the remainder of the game their intensity didn’t drop away and they were able to keep with the Blues.

Pirates in hard-fought draw with Berwick BASEBALL Mornington A1 drew with Berwick 1-1 in 10 innings in round eight played on Saturday 15 June.

In a pitchers dual with both starters completing 9 innings the game was called for bad light. Brendan Wilson pitched 9 strong innings, relieved by Josh Mulherin.

Adam Jansen and Adam Warren both collected two hits.

A very good game all round by both teams.

In other results: A2 Mornington vs Berwick Ryan Campbell and Matt Dunn threw well for the Pirates backed up by solid defence in the field.

The offence was firing all day threatening in every innings.

Shaun Martin, Luke Jansen and Mitch Dunn all had a day out with the bats and on the base paths.

Pirates faced an under strength Panther side in the wet at Moorabbin.

Gaining a bit of confidence the Pirate hitters jumped out to an early 8-0 lead which the Panthers were unable to law back.

Lead by some solid pitching from Brett Stuesser and Ryan Harrison, Pirates dominated taking the game 14-1.

C2 Mornington vs Carrum After a tight game against Carrum they got spanked by Berwick who hit strongly and the Pirates struggled to make regulation infield outs.

Dick and Brandon again led the way in hitting but 2 runs in 5 innings fell way short.

Mornington News 18 June 2013

Hughes and pirate defence shut down Dingley’s batting in the first 3 innings.

However the bats and scoring went quiet for the Pirates and Dingley fought back in the 4th and 5th innings.

Mornington defeated by Dingley 12-7.

U15 Mornington Gold vs Frankston The boys travelled to Frankston for a local derby against the Tomatoes.

In greasy conditions the boys ended up fighting to a 7 - 6 loss with 5 of our runs coming in our last inning.

Paterson and Hafey Bagg were tremendous on the mound, unfortunately not overly supported by their defence.

Jackson continued to slug quality pitching, Coles provided some pop. Christou and Streets got on base several times and stole several bags with ease.

U13 Mornington Gold vs Boneo Bald dominant at bat. Safe hits by Bald 3, Knox 2, Stenberg 1. Home run over CF

by Knox. Great pitching by Bald & Pierson.

All boys enjoyed time on base.

Pirates (13) defeat Boneo (2).

U13 Mornington Black vs Moorabbin The team went up against the Moorabbin Panthers this week. Tom Panich was their leadoff batter. They were able to score one run in the first dig.

Tom started off with great pitching, and Moorabbin only scored one.

Harrison Potts had a ripper grand slam.

Unfortunately went down 10 - 5 due to a revert back.

U11 Mornington Pirates vs Cheltenham After a big break the Under 11s came out firing scoring 12 runs to Cheltenham Blue 2.

Well done to the 8 players who all hit the ball and special mention to the two Mitchell’s - Musticone with a couple of hits in his first game and Johnston who took arm on his arm but fronted up to bat next time.
