Colourful screening TRADITIONAL costumes and handicrafts brightened the foyer of the Mornington Cinema on Tuesday morning last week for a screening of Sing Your Song, a film about actor and human rights activist Harry Belafonte and the prejudices he faced as a black man in 1960s America. Many women at the screening are part of the “Handmade by Multicultural Women� group formed under the Stepping Stones program. The morning was arranged by Red Hill resident Dizzy Carlyon to raise awareness of refugee issues as well as money for Stepping Stones, which is run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence. At the screening are Yassah Zarwue, Petronia Nzirubusa, Lilliana Garcia, Alia Sultana, Luz Restrepo, Anna Penna (with one-year-old Joseph), Zakia Baigi Hazaya, Maria Barumbanze and Dana Bevilacqua.

Historic mansion ‘saved’ By Mike Hast THE board of Andrew Kerr aged care complex will not seek to demolish its 1875 Italianate mansion “Glenbank� in Mornington. The removal of the historic building was touted as a key part of Andrew Kerr’s $28 million redevelopment of its site on the corner of Barkly St and Tanti Ave (“$28m aged care centre�, The News, 1/12/11 and “Demolition
3HQLQVXOD 0RZHUV
The versatile garden tool you’ve been waiting for
ambition�, The News, 04/09/12). The level of community opposition to the plan appears to have been a major factor in the board submitting new plans to Mornington Peninsula Shire. The plans retain Glenbank but seek to build three-storey instead of twostorey two-bedroom “independent living� units. The request for three storeys will require a change to the planning scheme for the precinct.
We come to you!
The Mornington and District Historical Society say the change of plan is a win-win. “The developers get their way and the town retains an historic building,� committee member Derek Smith writes in the society’s latest newsletter. In November 2011, the board of Andrew Kerr Frail and Aged Care Complex submitted plans to the shire for “the most modern aged care centre in Victoria�.

The new complex would address the federal government’s “ageing in place� philosophy for older people, he said. “Glenbank has been renovated and changed many times over the years, and there is little remaining of the original features except the outside.� The board could not afford renovations. The building had rising damp, wallpaper was peeling and sections with lower ceilings had been added. Continued Page 4

Andrew Kerr board chairman Lew Robbins said at the time the entire complex of single-storey units and Glenbank would be demolished and replaced by three two-storey buildings of independent living units for both lowand high-care elderly people. “We need to redevelop the entire site to address failing infrastructure and the need for more appropriate accommodation and facilities for the residents and local community.�

Police catch young stone throwers
No tolerance: Sergeant Anton Jankovic near the Bungower Rd rail platform where rock-throwing children have been causing strike. Picture: Yanni
By Jo Winterbottom MORNINGTON police are cracking down on groups of children menacing the volunteers and patrons of the steam train service in Mornington. Volunteers of Mornington Railway Preservation Society, which runs the popular tourist train between Mornington and Moorooduc, became fed up and wrote to police after weeks of being pelted with stones and finding rocks placed on their train tracks. Volunteer fire wardens, who follow the steam train on foot to douse any sparks, were being assailed by groups of up to 10 children throwing stones. Sergeant Anton Jankovic of Mornington police said children had also removed spikes securing sleepers under the track, which could cause the track to warp and, with rocks placed on the tracks, lead to a derailment. “We had grave concerns for the safety of passengers and volunteers travelling on the trains,” he said. The windows of the vintage carriages do not contain safety glass and could be smashed by stones, leading to passenger injuries. Sergeant Jankovic said the trouble was worst around the Tanti siding, near Bungower Rd in Mornington, the middle of three stations on the line. Police began patrolling the area on Sunday, when the immaculately restored steam locomotive K163 was plying the tracks. A group of children aged between five and 11 was nabbed throwing stones at the train and generally wreaking havoc. Sergeant Jankovic said police would speak with their parents and continue patrols in the area and on the train during its operating days, generally the first three Sundays of the month. “We are adopting a no tolerance approach on this,” he warned. See “Steamed up over rail museum” on Page 9. Mornington Railway Preservation Society will run its steam locomotive this Sunday, a vintage diesel on Sunday 17 March and an Easter Bunny special steam train on Easter Sunday 31 March.

Saved: The board of Andrew Kerr aged care complex has submitted revised plans for redevelopment of the precinct, abandoning a proposal to demolish the 1875 Italianate mansion “Glenbank” on Barkly St.
Historic mansion Glenbank ‘saved’ Continued from Page 1
The mansion was used just three days a week for respite care as it was unsuitable for modern living. The plans to knock down Glenbank caused a stir with opposition from neighbours, other Mornington residents, historical societies and peninsula branch of the National Trust. Glenbank was built for Presbyterian Church minister James A Caldwell.
Reverend Caldwell’s three sons were among the 15 members of the Mornington Football Club team that perished when the fishing yacht bringing them from Mordialloc struck Pelican Reef off Mt Eliza and went down with all hands in 1892. Glenbank was bought in 1917 by Mrs Andrew Kerr, Mrs Kathleen Parker and Mr Critchley Parker as a donation to the Church of England as a memorial to
Mrs Kerr’s son, Sergeant Andrew Kerr, who was killed in action in France in during the First World War. The Andrew Kerr Memorial Home for Children opened in 1922 and operated until 1976. In 1980 it was bought by the Mornington Bush Nursing Hospital (now The Bays) for $327,000 and converted into a centre for aged care. Mr Robbins could not be contacted before The News went to press.

Fined over pizza metal A POPULAR Mornington restaurant was fined $60,000 and charged with selling unsafe food following a hearing in Dromana Magistrates’ Court last Thursday. A man who dined on pizza at DOC restaurant in Main St in October last year ended up in Frankston Hospital having emergency surgery to remove a 3cm piece of wire from the pizza embedded in his throat. Mornington Peninsula Shire environmental health team leader Mark Upton said an inspection found a lack of procedures at the restaurant had enabled the contamination to occur. “The environmental health unit was contacted by the victim immediately after he was discharged from hospital,” Mr Upton said. “Council officers conducted an investigation at the food business and established the metal wire originated as a bristle from a brush used to clean the stone pizza oven. “A pizza was placed directly on top of the stone base inside the oven and the metal wire was cooked into the dough of the pizza and consumed by the victim. “The investigation revealed a lack of procedures implemented at the premises to prevent physical contamination.” He said DOC had “undertaken process, procedural and equipment changes” to prevent such contamination recurring. “However, a lack of procedures to prevent contamination at the time of the offence in conjunction with the severe impact on the victim warranted a serious penalty,” he said. DOC Mornington pleaded guilty to four charges under the Food Act, including the sale of unsafe food, and was fined $60,000 and ordered to pay the shire’s legal costs of $5814. The management of DOC Mornington did not return calls from The News.

On yer bikes – Link trail bridge opened CYCLISTS will be able to ride from Moorooduc to Patterson Lakes when the Peninsula Link Trail is completed mid-year. About 17.5 kilometres of the trail is useable, about 70 per cent of the total path. On Friday, the trial’s final pedestrian and cycling bridge was opened in Seaford over the Frankston Freeway. Sections along the Mornington Tourist Rail Line at Moorooduc and through the Pines Flora and Fauna Reserve in Frankston South are yet to be completed. The trail begins at Patterson River in Patterson
Lakes, connecting to the existing gravel Dandenong Creek Trail, which joins the EastLink Trail. The path ends in Moorooduc at Mt Eliza Regional Park near the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West. Roads Minister Terry Mulder walked part of the trail to mark the opening of the final bridge. “Since day one of Peninsula Link’s opening, we have had rave reviews from cyclists and pedestrians about the new trail, which is opening progressively over the coming months,” Mr Mulder said. “It’s helping people to get out and about – whether they are walking the dog, walking or
riding to school or work, or getting fresh air and exercise outside. “There are many attractions that people can stop at along the trail, including McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park, Ballam Park Homestead and Sages Cottage in Baxter. “This last bridge will make it easier for more people to use the trail by connecting Seaford to Carrum Downs and Frankston North.” To view a map of the path and the sections available or to vote on a logo, visit www.linking melbourne.vic.gov.au/PeninsulaLinkTrail.

Busy week for marine rescuers
Midwife mother MOTHER of four Kylie Hosking knows about the care pregnant women want to receive. A midwife at Frankston Hospital, she is also one of three Australian Nursing Federation’s Undergraduate Midwives of the Year. Ms Hosking, of Tyabb, is pictured with Sandra Sawdy and her baby, Sebastian. “I was so surprised to receive the award. I didn’t know I had even been nominated,” Ms Hosking said. “When I received my letter, at first I thought it was a parking fine so you could imagine my shock when I opened it and it said I had won an award.” The annual awards are made to one outstanding nursing and midwifery student from each Victorian University, TAFE and registered training organisation.
VOLUNTEER Marine Rescue members in Mornington and Hastings were called out 11 times last week. Last Sunday week, Mornington was activated at 9am to rescue a boat with smoke coming out of the engine. Graeme McGillivray of VMR said thanks to the quick thinking of the skipper “the fuel was quickly cut off and a disaster averted”. “Other tow jobs were completed throughout the day for engine breakdowns,” he said. “The final call for assistance was an 8.5-metre (28ft) luxury launch that had gearbox problems when it was returning to Patterson River. “The VMR crew quickly found the vessel and towed it to their mooring. The job was completed at 12.30am Monday. “On Wednesday, a person placed a call to 000 advising they had broken down four kilometres out from Safety Beach. “VMR responded with the Mornington vessel hitting the water just 10 minutes after the call. It turned out the skipper was suffering from extreme seasickness due to a northerly wind and seas over two metres. “On arrival, a VMR crew member boarded the vessel in very dangerous conditions, assessed the skipper and made the decision to transport him to the rescue vessel and take him to shore. “On the way in, his condition deteriorated and an ambulance was called to meet the boat at Martha Cove marina. The man was treated and taken to Frankston Hospital suffering from extreme dehydration.” Mr McGillivray said a VMR crew member stayed on board the vessel and took the boat in. “It has been an extremely busy season for the
crews of VMR Mornington and Hastings,” he said. “Last year was the busiest in our 33-year history with more than 190 rescues. This year is shaping up to beat last year’s number of policeactivated rescues.” VMR Mornington and Hastings can be contacted 24 hours a day on 0419 233 999. The service welcomes new members.

Chairlift explained at meeting ARTHURS Seat chairlift consortium chief Simon McKeon outlines latest developments at a public meeting at 7pm on Wednesday 20 March at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club on the foreshore opposite Dromana Hub shopping centre. The meeting has been organised by Association for Building Community in Dromana. The chairlift, formerly operated by Richard Hudson, has not operated since mid-2006 after the last of three major incidents – the January 2003 collapse of a pylon tower that injured 18 people and stranded dozens more, a chair slipping down the cable in March 2004 that broke the legs of a 77-year-old woman, and mechanical failure in May 2006 that stranded about 12 people.

MORNINGTON MP David Morris is the new chairman of the state Parliament’s powerful Public Accounts and Estimates Committee. He replaces Philip Davis who resigned last month and gave no reason for leaving. PAEC is regarded as the leading committee of the Parliament. It is responsible for scrutiny of public accounts and estimates for the state budget, and is the Parliament’s link with the AuditorGeneral. Since the Baillieu government came to power at the end of 2010, the committee has tabled 16 reports covering topics such as annual estimates, Victoria’s plans for responding to terrorism incidents, and financing of major public infrastructure. Mr Morris said he was honoured to chosen as chairman by his colleagues. “The committee provides a critical link between the state government and the Parliament,” he said. “Whether examining ministers and senior public servants at the annual estimates hearings, conducting reviews of the financial statements of government departments or statutory authorities, or engaging with the Auditor-General’s office on the preparation of the audit plan or audit priorities, the committee process ensures the Parlia-
ment and the Victorian community are fully informed on matters of public administration and public sector finances.” Mr Morris, 58, was elected to the Parliament in 2006 and replaced Robin Cooper, who retired. Both cut their political teeth as councillors with the Shire of Mornington. Mr Morris was mayor in 1992-93. He has been Parliamentary Secretary for Local Government since the 2010 election when the Liberal-National Coalition defeated the Brumby Labor government. Mike Hast

Steamed up over rail museum By Mike Hast THE Australian Railway Historical Society is building a head of steam in the campaign to move its Williamstown North railway museum to Moorooduc. Society consultant John Hearsch recently briefed Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and the society is about to sign an agreement with Mornington Railway Preservation Society. Mornington Railway leases 11 hectares (27 acres) opposite the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West from state government agency VicTrack. Volunteers have been running tourist trains between Moorooduc and Mornington since 1999 on part of the line that was closed by the Liberal state government in 1981 after 92 years of operation. Mornington Railway has agreed in principle to ARHS using about three hectares (7.5 acres) of its leased land for a state railway museum. Mr Hearsch told councillors the museum would include a display hall for large exhibits and a mezzanine floor for smaller items, a library, theatre and offices. Nearby would be “roundhouse” to display steam locomotives. ARHS has 15 Victorian Railways steam locomotives, ranging from the diminutive F class to “Heavy Harry”, the largest locomotive to operate in Victoria. It also has VR steam cranes, diesel and electric locomotives, suburban and country passenger carriages, guards’ vans and freight wagons.
Heavy worker: Mornington Railway engineer Gerald Spoor with the K163 steam loco.
The Victorian branch of ARHS was founded in 1945 and has 750 members. Its museum opened in 1962 but cannot expand as it is next to rail workshop operations and had a low public profile. Mr Hearsch told shire councillors the site was open to the elements, being only 1200 metres from Port Phillip. “The corrosion of all metallic objects
is an ongoing challenge. The condition of almost all exhibits is one of slow, steady deterioration,” he said. Income was limited to gate takings and publication sales, and there had been no state funding for running the museum or conservation of exhibits. “The museum has a comprehensive and irreplaceable static collection of large and small items, mostly owned by the state, which are representative
of more than 100 years of Victoria’s rail heritage and history.” Mr Hearsch said the museum needed to be “re-established in a way that is seen to be of value to and appreciated by its local community as well as the wider population of Melbourne and regional Victoria”. “A professionally presented railway museum, suitably promoted, can become a significant tourist attraction, particularly if provided with suitable facilities for families and other visitors, for example, a picnic area, barbecues, food and sales outlet. “A successful railway museum needs to have multiple functions to educate, entertain and promote both curiosity and interest in the science, engineering and operation of a railway.” He said the Moorooduc site could be developed to match rail museums at Ipswich in Queensland, Thirlmere south of Sydney and at Adelaide. It could one day rival famous museums in Britain, France, Sweden, United States, India and Japan. ARHS had investigated sites in outer suburbs and country Victoria and the only places that met site criteria were in Seymour and Ballarat. “Moorooduc was a late consideration following an invitation from MRPS. Its only disadvantages were no public transport, no presently useable connectivity to the wider rail network, no infrastructure that could become part of the museum, and ineligibility of funding support from the state’s Regional Infrastructure Development Fund,” Mr Hearsch said.
“There is little doubt that a suitably promoted and visible railway museum would attract considerable passing traffic, enabling people to visit as part of a wider day trip or holiday outing, as distinct from the museum being a single destination.” Mr Hearsch said the Ipswich museum drew 100,000 visitors annually and Moorooduc could have a similar number within 10 years. The project could employ 15 people as well as workers for restoration, conservation and maintenance of museum exhibits. There was potential for government funding for additional staff undergoing training and skills development. “These factors produce immediate and substantial multiplier that would benefit almost all sectors of the peninsula’s economy.” The next steps included gaining state government support for moving the museum to Moorooduc, seeking funding for a concept plan and business case, and seeking the support of Heritage Victoria and Museum Victoria. Mr Hearsch has asked the shire for “ongoing advocacy and advice” and help with “heritage, environmental and other issues that might influence planning outcomes for the proposed museum development”. ■ Mornington Railway Preservation Society runs trains on the first three Sundays each month, with the first train leaving Moorooduc at 11am and Mornington at 11.30am.

Litter traps would cut bay’s rubbish OPINION By Jim Kerin A MELBOURNE City Council report states that each year up to three billion pieces of litter (about 2000 to 3000 tonnes) are washed into Melbourne’s waterways through stormwater drains. The research shows the source of most litter in stormwater comes from shopping centres and strips, markets, on-street collections, tips and recycling depots. 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. How far it carries is determined by the amount of rain in the Yarra catchment, tidal heights in the Yarra and the strength and duration of northerly winds. Rivers of garbage can be seen in Port Phillip after significant rain events. Each year the four councils spend hundreds of thousands of dollars col-

lecting drift litter from their beaches. The mechanical clean-up removes all material from beaches including naturally deposited vegetable material. This impairs a beach’s natural ability to protect itself from erosion. Additionally, it doesn’t collect the trash that is blown into areas inaccessible to beach cleaning machines. Trash identifiable as originating from the lower Yarra catchment has been found at Brighton and as far south as Blairgowrie. On Sunday, Clean Up Australia Day, hundreds of residents will again turn out to pick up trash that should have been stopped by municipalities to their north and Melbourne Water.
The cost of retrieving this rubbish has been shifted to the municipalities in the south as well as volunteers who walk the beach frequently or who take part in Clean Up Australia Day. Much of this litter can be identified as originating in the cities of Melbourne, Yarra, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Boroondara and Port Phillip. The impact of litter on Port Philip’s wildlife is not well known, but it is known that seabirds and fish eat plastic rubbish that mimics their food. Large amounts of plastic detritus can be seen at Seaford Beach and other dune systems. Cyclical erosion releases this trapped material, much of which is resistant to ultraviolet degra-
dation. It breaks into smaller pieces as it is “milled” on the sand by breaking waves. Bayside, Kingston, Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Dandenong councils have all fitted high-performance centrifugal litter traps to problem drains. The traps remove cigarette butts, syringes and particulates smaller than a match head. But the crucial question is: why don’t the northern Port Phillip and Yarra River municipalities, including the City of Melbourne as well as Melbourne Water, use litter traps to keep their rubbish off our beaches? The answer is the cost of servicing the traps. It’s cheaper to “educate” than provide expensive “end-of-pipe” solutions, meaning it’s cheaper for central and southern Port Phillip councils and their ratepayers to collect litter than stop it at its source. After people have done their bit on Clean Up Australia Day, they might spend a moment venting their displeasure at Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, Melbourne Water chairman Paul Clark and the Victorian Litter Action Alliance whose deliberations are overseen by Sustainability Victoria and whose membership includes the Packaging Stewardship Forum that is against container deposit regulation. Jim Kerin is a broadcaster and writer on environment topics, and a former director of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation.
Hospital ward stays closed FRANKSTON Hospital will not reopen its short-stay ward of 10 beds before Easter despite the federal government promising extra money. The hospital closed the ward after the federal government late last year cut $107 million from Victoria’s health budget, including almost $5 million from Peninsula Health’s budget. The cuts came after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reduced Victoria’s population estimates for the current financial year, triggering the federal cuts. The action sparked a long-running dispute between Canberra and the Baillieu government that continues. Last week the federal government said it would restore the $107 million but send it direct to health networks rather than the state government. Hospital spokesman John Jukes said the ward was meant to open after the summer break but would stay closed until Easter as “we have received no formal notification” of the federal money. Patients use the ward if their stay is less than 48 hours. Labor’s candidate for Dunkley, Sonya Kilkenny, said “Ted Baillieu has proved he’s completely incapable of running Victoria’s health system”. “More than 46,000 Victorians are languishing on elective surgery waiting lists, ambulance response times have blown out and Mr Baillieu’s response has been to slash $616 million from the state’s health system and point the finger at the federal government,” she said.

Church set for Easter feed NEW Peninsula Baptist Church’s 16th annual Free Family Fun Day on Easter Saturday will attract thousands of people to the church in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Fun day spokesman Merv Williams said the event was “the region’s largest free community festival”. “Patrons will get a sneak peak of our new 1500-seat auditorium and foyer, built by a team of 40 volunteers and dubbed the nation’s largest seniors’ volunteer project,” Mr Williams said. “Our team will be kept busy serving more than 2000 cups of tea and coffee, 2000 biscuits, 200kg of baked potatoes and 1500 portions of sweet corn as well as bags of popcorn and sausage sandwiches. “Other volunteers will be engaged in the sticky assignment of serving fairy floss, supervising
laser tag, and painting hundreds of children’s faces. “Even the rides are free as part of the church’s Easter gift to the community. “Last year a record 7000 people turned up and we loved hosting them. “The looks of joy on the kids’ faces and the chance for our church to rally together to host something of this magnitude were a real privilege. “Each year people are amazed that they walk away after a full day of entertainment without having to pay for a thing.” New Peninsula Church Free Family Fun Day, 10am-3pm on Saturday 16 March, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

Channelling electro-geology theories By Mike Hast CONTROVERSIAL archaeologist and filmmaker Peter “Mungo” Jupp has created three web television channels to showcase has radical theories. Mr Jupp of Mt Eliza attracted public attention in 2009 with a documentary about the creation of Port Phillip during a cataclysmic event. In Mega Tsunami Melbourne 1500 AD, he claimed Port Phillip was created 500 years ago when a “megatsunami came streamrolling in from Bass Strait at the same time as an earthquake”. Raging fires followed, searing the ground and tonnes of shells tossed to the top of newly formed cliffs. He said the shells, easily seen along clifftops from Mt Martha to Mt Eliza, have been mistakenly identified as Aboriginal middens. He said the so-called middens (piles of shells discarded after being eaten) were too widespread to have been made by Aborigines and contained types of shells that would not have been a food source. Mr Jupp quoted the diary of early McCrae settler Georgiana McCrae and Aboriginal legends that refer to water pouring across the land through what are now known as the Port Phillip Heads. “We have naively accepted the theories of geologists on the formation of Port Phillip and ignored the legends and myths of the Bunurong and other local indigenous tribes. The legends were rich in facts but were dismissed as fairytales by the theory-laden sciences called geology and archaeology,” he said.
Out there: Peter “Mungo” Jupp has created three web TV channels for his radical theories about ancient civilisations, electromagnetic forces and Earth’s geology.
Confirmation of a big flood in Port Phillip came in May 2011 when University of Melbourne researchers revealed data gathered during survey work prior to the Port of Melbourne’s dredging of Port Phillip. Scientist Guy Holdgate said Port Phillip had dried to one-third its current size after The Heads became blocked. Some event such as an earthquake had reopened The Heads and flooded Port Phillip in a very short time. Mega Tsunami is one of 26 planned documentaries questioning the cause of destruction of ancient civilisations. Mr Jupp, who has been a builder, hypnotist and worked in medical equipment sales and marketing, majored as a mature-aged student in archaeology
at the University of Melbourne where he also studied filmmaking techniques and production. The MUNGOflix web television channels are Ancient Destructions, EUhuman, and Electric Geology. “Ancient Destructions asks how were incredibly complex ancient civilisations destroyed? How much was caused by humankind and how much by nature? “EUhuman asks the question: how much of our lives are driven by electromagnetic forces we barely comprehend? It explores the biological, psychological and spiritual forces that are little understood by modern science. “Are humans connected in ways that cannot be explained scientifically?”
PSOs on the way By Neil Walker VICTORIA Police says efforts to recruit the required number of protective services officers are on track, with an extensive recruitment advertising campaign seeking to boost officer numbers. A $2.7 million TV, press and online advertising campaign, running from January to March, is trying to entice “smart, fit” people with “excellent communication skills” to apply for the jobs maintaining safety at Victoria’s train stations during evenings from 6pm until the last train departs the station. Just two stations on the Frankston line outside Melbourne CBD currently have armed PSOs on duty. Frankston train station welcomed its PSOs in August last year with officers arriving at Carrum train station in January this year. The state government pledged to have 940 protective services officers at all metropolitan and major regional railway stations by November 2014. A date has yet to be set for their deployment at Mentone, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Edithvale, Chelsea, Bonbeach, Seaford and Kananook.
Electric Geology proposes that electromagnetic forces have far greater influence than previously thought. Electricity and magnetism may cause earthquakes and eruption of volcanoes, he says. “About 4000 years ago, civilisations were obliterated by a series of events. A catastrophic earthquake storm totally buried and destroyed cities throughout the Middle East.” Mr Jupp said British archaeologist Katherine Kenyon, who has excavated parts of Jericho and Jerusalem, postulates that “the final end of the early Bronze Age civilisation came with catastrophic completeness. Jericho was probably completely destroyed. Every town in Palestine that has so far been investigated shows the same break. All traces of the early Bronze Age civilisation disappeared”. He said French archaeologist Claude Schaeffer “proved there were at least five catastrophic events followed by lesser events down the ages”. Mr Jupp said there is a theory connecting the reduction in the sun’s coronal mass ejections with an increase in earthquakes, violent lightning storms and winds on Earth. There were massive, killer earthquakes between 1640 and 1710 when sun spot activity was low.

‘Kids’ of ’83 look back on eve of reunion Words and picture by Yanni THREE decades have passed since Year 12 students of 1983 sat in a classroom at Mornington High School. For the 17-year-olds, life probably seemed a lot simpler and happier, with fewer rules, less supervision and less stress – or was there? Even though the early part of the 1980s heralded the start of the electronic age, life was still about friendships, cars and having a good time. Now 30 years on these old school friends are preparing to meet again to reminisce, share a few laughs, tell a few lies and find out if life has turned out the way they envisaged all those years ago. Dreena Lawrence-Gray of the reunion committee says she hoped many past students come to a get-together later this month. “Facebook has been a big help finding students. Someone always knows where someone else is or has heard about someone on the grapevine. We also sent out flyers,” she said. The school on the corner of Nepean Highway and Wilsons Rd closed in 1999 and moved to a new site at the northern end of the town, but the school hall was preserved (and renamed Peninsula Community Theatre) as was the library, now a performing arts studio, and the science wing, half of which was transformed into Radio Port Phillip’s studios. When The News went to photograph seven past students at the old school, memories came flooding back. I asked some questions of my old school friends:
What was your happiest school memory from 1983? Dreena Lawrence-Gray: I left school in 1982. Stephen Voss: Finishing final exams. Terri Roberts: Hard to have a best memory. Loved the common room and feeling like an adult. Kym Stephens: Finally finishing school. Amanda Witheridge: My happiest memory from school days was the socialising (and the schoolwork!). Lynni Halkett: Winning the softball championships against all the other high schools in the round robin matches (still have my softball mitt). Owen Donohue: I enjoyed the mateship gained from schooling, but most vividly I recall completing my final year of high school and passing before leaving to look for a job. That sense of accomplishment of completing my years of schooling felt good. What was your saddest or most unpleasant memory from 1983? Dreena: Ash Wednesday. I remember the day well. I was excited because I got my learner’s permit but sad because of the raging bushfires and the smoke haze over Mornington. Stephen: Nothing really. Terri: Losing my Nan is up there with the saddest memory from 1983 and ever since. Also friends leaving before the end of Year 12 to go to TAFE or work. That changed my school environment and how much I enjoyed myself. Kym: Just realising that it was time to grow up. Amanda: My most unpleasant memo-
ry was being teased (bullied by today’s standards) in Year 7. Lynni: Having to repeat Year 11 and all my friends went up to Year 12 and got to go in the common room. Owen: No unpleasant memories apart from leaving all the people I was used to seeing and grew up with for the past 5-6 years. What teacher had the greatest impact positive or negative on your school life and did any words of wisdom remain with you? Dreena: I remember being told I wouldn’t amount to anything as I wasn’t serious enough. Stephen: None that I can recall. Terri: I loved Mrs Harrington. She was a teacher who enjoyed her job and made me enjoy her classes. Kym: Our art teacher Col Wight. Amanda: Andy Edwards. He taught maths and was fun and inspirational, even though I didn’t really understand maths! Lynni: Mr McIntosh, our English teacher, and his words of wisdom: “Less is more” and “You can always remember the truth but you can never remember a lie”. Owen: Mr Molloy left a negative impact on me with his finger poking when you were in trouble, and he poked you with every word he spoke. I don’t believe that would be allowed today and would be considered bullying. I guess we were tougher then and teachers had that power. What career or job did you want when you were at school? Dreena: I wanted to be an air hostess, and I studied four years of French
to achieve this, but I don’t speak any French now. Stephen: I wanted to be a policeman. Terri: I wanted to do nursing and after two years in an office job, I started my training. Kym: Criminal lawyer or air hostess. Amanda: I had absolutely no idea! I lived purely in the moment giving no thought to the future. Lynni: Nursing. Owen: I wanted an apprenticeship in plumbing, electrical or building. What career or job did you end up with? Dreena: I ended up in local government in 1985. Stephen: I now work at VicRoads. Terri: I combine my nursing with admin in a specialist practice. Amanda: I went back to school at age 21, did an administration course and spent 17 years as an admin manager for a civil engineering firm before switching to nursing after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Lynni: I work with adults with disabilities in group homes, and have a diploma. Owen: I ended up being a sales rep and really enjoyed the challenges of sales and the freedom of working autonomously on the road. Were you in love during 1983? Was it a classmate or someone outside school? Dreena: In 1985 I married the person I was with in 1983 and divorced him the following year! Stephen: No. Terri: I was in love in 1983. I think we probably all were in love and whether
someone loved us back made the difference. Amanda: Yes I was in love at high school, in fact I had two high school sweethearts and they were both fellow students. Lynni: A classmate – and he still has his cute smile 30 years on. Owen: I had several close friendships with people I went to school with and I have remained in contact with most to this day. What were your greatest fears during 1983? Dreena: I was carefree back then, bullet-proof, young and fit; I don’t remember having any fears. Stephen: The uncertainty of what was out in the big, wide world beyond school years. Terri: My greatest fear was what I was going to wear to the Dava on Saturday nights. Life was so simple then! Kym: Hair looking all right, got the right school shoes and am I too cool to be at school. Ha, ha. Amanda: I don’t remember having any great fears. Lynni: Getting caught wagging. Owen: Not finding a job after leaving school. What was your favourite band, song and music style of 1983? Dreena: I loved all music in the ’80s but I remember in 1983 David Bowie’s Serious Moonlight tour album being a fave. China Girl was another; the film clip was banned because he was frolicking bare bottomed on the beach. Cyndi Lauper also came on the scene with Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Stephen: Pretty much any band at the

time. I liked pop and anything top 40. Terri: I loved Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes and Meatloaf. I still am a fan and so are my kids. Can’t remember a favourite song but I remember loving Culture Club and Boy George. Kym: Rolling Stones and INXS. Favourite song was Listen Like Thieves. Favourite style was rock and disco/dance. Amanda: Favourite band was probably Kiss, who I saw live in 1980. Favourite song (from 1982) was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles, which in hindsight was very apt. Style of music? Anything you could dance to, especially the Aussie bands of the day such as Aussie Crawl, Hunters & Collectors, Cold Chisel and a lot more from the late 1970s. Lynni: Adam and the Ants’ Ant Music and Stand and Deliver. I loved all music. Owen: Kiss. Cool World by Mondo Rock was just released when I finished school and was played all summer, so it stayed with me over time and when I hear it today, it takes me back to that year. Loved rock ’n’ roll. Looking back 30 years, what major changes
have impacted most on your life? Dreena: I have had a couple of marriages, a daughter, a heart attack and a hip replacement. But I do not dwell on the negative; I try to always think there is someone worse off than me. Stephen: The death of loved ones Terri: Life has quietly slipped by me without any major impact. I have enjoyed growing older and loving my family. Kym: Having my two beautiful children. Amanda: My Crohn’s disease has had the most impact on my life and the worst. The best was having my son, Jackson. Lynni: I brought up my three girls on my own. One is married and one is getting married in September, and I have two beautiful grandchildren. Owen: The advancement of electronic technology, internet and mobile phones. None of that was in my life back at school. Do you think life was simpler or harder in 1983 compared to what kids have to contend with today? Dreena: Absolutely simpler; there certainly were not the pressures young people have today. Drugs
were not as prevalent as they are today, job interviews were in person rather than over the internet. P-platers didn’t have half the restrictions and there were no mobile phones or computers. If you were lucky you had a video recorder with a remote control on a cord. Stephen: We had it harder back then because nowadays kids sit behind a computer and do nothing and have everything handed to them on a silver platter. We made our own fun outside the house. Terri: Life in Mornington was definitely much simpler in 1983. Kym: Half and half. Amanda: Life was far simpler 30 years ago. Lynni: Life was much simpler – no computer technology and kids today never play outside or do much sport. You could have a party and only the invited used to turn up; nowadays it is too risky to have a party. Owen: Life was so much simpler then. We made our own choices about what we did and when we did it. Nowadays everything is decided for you, by governments, legislation and the media.
Kids now get homework in Grade 1. How do you think the world will change in the next 30 years? Dreena: Too many rules and regulations to govern us; too many people. Life will be much harder I think. Stephen: More job losses as computers continue to rule the world. Terri: I try not to think about how the world will change in the next 30 years. I hope that I am surrounded by the people I love. Kym: Maybe some grandchildren! Otherwise I don’t really think about it. Amanda: I have no idea because when you live day to day with a disease such as Crohn’s, you don’t think about the future. I am still living in the moment. Lynni: I hope there is a cure for cancer. Owen: Electronic media and technology will rule the future. Mornington High School 30-year reunion is at 7pm on Saturday 16 March in the function room upstairs at Kirks Hotel, Mornington. Details: mhs_reunion@hotmail.com

BEING open two years I’ve received an award for fruiterer excellence which put us in the running for the prestigious Fruiterer of the Year Award. I was over the moon with getting the nomination as it is unheard of for someone at my age at 27 and with only having my business for just over two years. I started the business from scratch with help from my family and friends and I have thrown in a lot of unbelievably hard work and know we have made it a great little business. It does show that sometimes hard work does pay off. It was judged by a mystery shopper coming in twice so there is no way the staff or me knew when this person came. We scored a perfect 100 percent in customer service, quality and freshness. This honestly came as a big surprise to me and thought it would not happen, I believe I have the best team working for me and it’s a credit to them we have received this award so early on.

Day of surf, sun, sand and smiles A BRIGHT clear day, southeasterly wind and small swell. Normally a day for golf or tennis – anything but surfing. But not on Saturday when 174 volunteers went to Point Leo for the season’s second event organised by the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch. The conditions for the day were just right: warm weather and small, fun waves. The events being organised by the DSA branch are popular, with 74 people with varying disabilities coming to have a go at surfing. Many were coming back, with their carers, for the second or third time. Since its formation just over a year
ago, the branch has raised $42,000, buying five wide-tyred, beach-friendly wheelchairs to ferry participants to and from the water. It has a trailer and “soft” surfboards. The first event last November involved 20 participants and 226 volunteers, making it the biggest debut event held by any of the DSA’s 15 branches. At the February event there were 52 participants. “Our function is to provide a safe surfing experience for people with disabilities, giving them access to something that we take for granted,” peninsula branch treasurer John Bowers said. As with the other two events, Point Leo Life Saving Club opened its
doors to the DSA branch and the Point Leo foreshore committee donated the day’s gate receipts. Branch president Stewart Lockie said Saturday’s event was “the most successful day so far”. While it was the final event scheduled for the season, the committee will meet to discuss offseason projects. Two events have already been slotted in for 2014 with the possibility of another one later this year at Phillip Island. The beach wheelchairs are available for use by the public at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club and from the Point Leo foreshore committee. Call ranger Ray Gould on 0408 536 143. Keith Platt

FEATURE PROPERTY
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Station master THE peaceful Balnarring lifestyle does not get much better than this beautiful, resortinspired family property with all the trimmings. Set on a landscaped 1000-square metre block, the home is privately set behind a tall row of hedges, providing total privacy for the pool and front yard areas. From the double garage - which does have internal access there is a pathway leading up to the front door of the home. From the wide hallway, you enter into a spacious family room and then into a splendid open-plan area which utilises every corner, with plenty of room for a lounge and dining and even a study corner for students has been incorporated. There is a recessed television unit and the entire space has a sunny northerly aspect and a delightful view of the front garden. An impressive kitchen has a wraparound benchtop and there is plenty of cupboard space. Appliances include a wall-oven and dishwasher. When moving in, new owners will also like the wide entry from the living room to the family room - even the largest sofas and widescreen televisions should fit through with ease. A third living area is the fantastic games room with space for the billiard table and a great built-in bar. The home has three bedrooms and a separate office with fitted desk which could be a fourth if required. For parents, the main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe and two more bedrooms have built-in robes. If the living and bedroom areas of the home take up half the available space then the expansive entertaining areas take up the other half. A huge undercover area practically doubles the living space and from the pergola you have a great view of the solar heated, in-ground pool and spa, which is all securely fenced. Space is definitely not at a premium here, you get a lot of home for your money. The rear garden is also landscaped and there are two sheds with the double garage also boasting a workshop area.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Mt Eliza church foundation stone, Bittern ravaged by fire Compiled by Cameron McCullough From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 8 March 1913. MISS Annie Brody, the talented elocutionist, will recite ‘Home Sweet Home’ and ‘The Waybacks at the Zoo,’ at the Choral concert at Mornington on Monday next. *** AT the forthcoming choral concert, to raise funds for the erection of a fence around the arena of the sports ground at Mornington, Mr Walter Jennings, the well-known tenor, will sing ‘Thora’ and ‘La Donna Mobile’ from ‘Rigolleto.’ *** THE residents of Mornington will have the opportunity of hearing the Frankston Choral Society, under the conductorship of Mr Walter Jennings, on Monday evening next. This recently formed society has been highly successful and is much appreciated by large audiences on the occasion of each Frankston concert. *** FAVORED with beautiful weather, the annual picnic of the match workers, held at Frankston on Saturday last, was a great success. Between 2 and 3 hundred people journeyed down by train, arriving at Frankston at about eleven o’clock. The picnic was held in the park, where a programme of sports was carried through in the afternoon. *** WE note that last week Sir John Madden secured top price at the Melbourne market for his culled sheep, which were sent from his Frankston property by his manager Mr G. Bloxain. In past years Sir John considered himself for-
tunate if he was able to rear his sheep to escape the depredations of wandering dogs, but we are pleased this annoyance now seems a thing of the past. *** THE memorial stone of the new chancel of the Mt Eliza Church of England will be laid by Mrs Sumner on Saturday next March 15th at 3pm. An open air fete will afterwards be held on the grounds. The fete will be opened by Lady Madden, and speeches will be given by Sir John Madden, Hon. A. Downward, and Mr James Grice. Refreshment, jumble, sweet, produce and other stalls will be presided over by the ladies and a pleasant day is anticipated. *** WE have been asked to state that the result of the American tea lately organised by Mrs C Maxwell, in aid of the Vicarage fund of St. Paul’s, Frankston, is as follows: The total receipts were £30 5s, total expenses £3 10s 6d, and the profit £26 14s 6d has been handed to Mr T Robinson, hon. treasurer of St. Paul’s Church. *** THE Eight Hour Committee announces its 57th Annual Art Union, in which 100 prizes of the total value of £1000 will be distributed. The first prize is valued at £500, the second £100, and the third £50. The support accorded the undertaking last year was so generous that the Committee was enabled to donate a very substantial sum to the Hospitals and Public Charities, to which the proceeds are devoted. It will be the 57th celebration of the establishment of the system which enjoins ‘Eight hours’ labor, eight hours’ recreation, and eight hours’ rest.’ The committee has already made complete arrangements in con-
nection with the Fete, which will be held at the Exhibition Buildings, Monday 21st April. A splendid programme of sports and amusements has been arranged for Eight Hours Day, which has been declared a Public and Bank Holiday throughout the State. Numerous special attractions will be provided for adults and children, the latter being particularly well catered for in the shape of races for boys and girls of all ages, skipping contests and other suitable events, and, in addition, thousands of toys, skipping ropes, and bags of lollies will be giren away free. The tickets are only one shilling each, and may be purchased in almost every town in the State, or direct from the Secretary, Mr John Hyman, at the Trades Hall, Carlton. It should be mentioned that every ticket purchased will have an equal chance in the Art Union, whether used for admission to the Fete on not. *** AN amatuer sports meeting will be held at the Naval Base on April 12th when a good programme of events will by gone through. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday, March 19th. *** A MEETING of those interested in the formation of a Racing Club in Frankston will be held in the Mechanics Hall on Tuesday, at 8pm sharp. *** WE are very pleased to hear that the catering for the Somerville show will be in the capable hands of Mr Bieri, of the Mornington cafe and patrons may rely upon getting a good luncheon. ***
AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held before Messrs Crawford, Clements, Bates, and Baxter, Js P. Viney Wells proceeded against G. W. Wells for using abusive language. After hearing lengthy evidence, the Bench dismissed the case, each party to pay their own costs. *** THE well-known Ayrshire breeders, Messrs Jones Bros, ‘Spring Farm’ Moorooduc, topped the market at the Tanti sale on Monday, realising £10 5s for a milker and £5 5s for a heifer. *** A CARD party and dance in aid of St McCartans church, Mornington, will be held in the Mechanics Hall, on Easter Monday night, for the purpose of reducing the debt on the church. *** THE principal business places in Mornington will be closed all day on Wednesday – Somerville Show Day. *** MR James Sheridan, who took a fit on Saturday, did not regain consciousness, but succumbed at his residence, Mornington, on Monday. The remains were interred in the local cemetery. *** THE Emu Plains entries close on Monday next, March 10th. The racing track at Emu Plaint has been shortened from 9 furlongs to 7 furlongs. THE Frankston owned horse and pony, Milloo and Almond Bush, were successful in winning a race each at the Woolamai races last Wednesday, Mr Wilcox winning the Trial Stakes with Milloo and Mr C McKenzie the 13.2 Novelty Pony Race. Both started at a nice price in the betting.
*** A FRIENDLY game of tennis took place between teams representing Flinders and Red Hill on the Red Hill Court on Saturday, lst inst. The teams consisted of two ladies and four gentlemen and after an exciting match of fourteen sets, Flinders won by three games. Afternoon tea was provided by the ladies of the home team, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent, the weather being favorable and the court in very good playing condition, considering the dry weather we have had lately. *** MESSRS Daw and McCallum, of Mornington, have sold their 600 acre farm at Moorooduc to Messrs Saunders and Martin, of Mornington, and the price was £4 10s per acre. *** THE Railway Standing Committee visited the Mornington Peninsula last week in connection with the proposed railway line through the Peninsula to Red Hill and Flinders. They were conveyed in one of Mr F. Doherty’s drags to Boneo where they toured the country, and then they toured the country through the centre of the Peninsula, from Red Hill to Bittern, and finally inspected the country around Stony Point. *** BUSH fires were very destructive in the Bittern district on Tuesday of last week. The properties of Messers Myers, White, Buckley, Oswin and Hitchen were swept by a fire, fanned by a strong north wind. Mr Myers suffered the most loss, losing a couple of miles of fencing.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
The orchestra: lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultimate utensil By Stuart McCullough WEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE all seen the adverts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; jarring visuals and startling music combined with a voice-over thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as close to hysteria as is possible without actually exploding. Easy to clean! Removes unwanted stains! (As though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s any other kind.) Turns a sandwich into a banquet! The problem with these commercials is that when the product is ultimately unveiled, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to be anything but underwhelmed. Usually, the device is little more than a plastic lump with a metal attachment, resembling the results of an appendectomy if performed on a washing machine. Plastic surgical offcuts are seldom much use. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one thing that can truly do everything. When most people think of an orchestra, they either think of an uptight bunch of classical musicians existing in the rarefied world of classical music or, possibly, the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Electric Lightâ&#x20AC;?. But an orchestra is so much more than just a 100-person cover band churning out the greatest hits of Beethoven and Mahler. Better than anything, orchestras set the mood. Forget candles or incense; if you really want to control the emotional temperature, music is the way to go. And when it comes to the heavy artillery, nothing packs as much punch as an orchestra. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why almost every film youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen relies on an orchestra to pull emotional strings. Let me be the first to say I love the Oscars. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cheesy and, to borrow from David Niven, succeed in squeezing two hours of entertainment
into four hours. But more than set the mood, the Oscars let an orchestra display its versatility. Besides giving the occasion a sense of gravitas, the orchestra is an indispensible tool for getting people to shut up. Often, an actor, actress or, more horrifyingly, one of the guys from the special effects team will win an award and mistake it as an invitation
to thank everyone theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met by name or, worse still, attempt to tell their life story. As the entire viewing audience starts to turn rigid with fear, the orchestra cuts in and brings proceedings to a merciful end. There should be more of it. Who among us hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wished for an orchestra to cut off someone mid-sentence? Last week I was at a conference. It
included a panel discussion moderated by a man who, perhaps thinking he had just won the award for best sound editing, took it as an opportunity to tell his life story and not allow the panel members to get a word in edgewise. Even when it was pointed out that he had used up all the allotted time and the next session was now delayed, he continued. It is difficult to convey how awful it was and I began to lament that lightning strikes are almost unheard of indoors as I wished for any calamity that would shut this turkey up. If only there had been an orchestra on hand. But more than just the ultimate silencer, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much more a fully functioning orchestra can do. For years, local councils have used classical music to deter young people from hanging around train stations and shopping malls. To be fair, such locations are logical places for young people to lurk, particularly if they want to catch a train or buy something. But imagine how much more effective such programs would be if, instead of a compact disc, an entire symphony orchestra was squeezed in between platform two and the kiosk? Rather than drive young people away, it would give them a chance to properly appreciate the awesome mindblowing power of classical music. Local hoodlums could develop a passion for Rachmaninov. That said, Stravinskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rite of Spring is more likely to encourage anti-social behaviour than curb it, having nearly caused a riot when it premiered in 1913. For myself, although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in
lots of bands, I was only ever in one orchestra and, even then, for a very brief time. In high school, I studied percussion. Inspired either by Tito Puente or, possibly, Sheila E, I turned up for two lessons before my teacher decided it was time for me to join the school orchestra. Right from the outset, I could tell I was different from the other 70 members of the group. For starters, the others were able to play their instruments with a degree of proficiency. To make things worse, the other members of the orchestra had practised their parts; something I considered unnecessary. As the music started, everyone else paid a great deal of attention to their sheet music. In contrast, I decided to improvise. And while I hoped that my contribution would be lost in the cacophony, this was unlikely given that I was playing the drums. Indeed, as I flailed like a Muppet, it became obvious that I was playing as though I was in a different band, if not performing a different piece of music. The conductor was aghast and stopped the performance solely for the purpose of asking me what it was I was doing. As 140 eyes focused on me, it was clear that no answer I could provide would be good enough. In an ideal world, I would have picked up my sticks, made a short concession speech and left the room as the remaining members of the orchestra gave me a suitable musical send off. Sadly, it was not to be. I simply had to take it, with humiliation as my only accompaniment. www.stuartmccullough.com

THE Mornington Peninsula is an exciting place in summer and early autumn with many festivals and concerts including Peninsula Summer Music Festival, Red Hill Country Music Festival, RAW Family Music Festival, Rosebud Kite Festival, Ventana Fiesta and more. It was disappointing for me as a local radio journalist and music writer to not be given access to the Between the Bays Festival to review and catch up with friend Troy CassarDaley. There are moves on for a new music festival on the peninsula in 2014 with a focus on local talent. More news on this in the coming weeks. Now in its seventh year, the Ventana Fiesta promises another colourful burst of Latin American, Portuguese and Spanish cultures during March. Music, food, art, craft and more as you enjoy the Latino culture and experience that is Ventana. More info www.thefac.com.au *** MORNING Star Estate is going through some major changes in 2013. The estate where Judy Barrett planted more than 75,000 roses of more than 600 varieties in what were once paddocks overlooking Port Phillip has become the peninsula’s premier restaurant and function venues. Set amid 22 acres of exquisite gardens and 30 acres of vines, the 19th century mansion Morning Star has panoramic views of Port Philip stretching from the Bellarine Peninsula to Melbourne. More news to come on music concerts, new dining packages and a website. www.visitmorningtonpeninsula.org *** ERIC Clapton gave up his career as a designer of stained glass windows to concentrate on blues guitar. His first breakthrough came in 1963 when he joined the Yardbirds. It was short-lived and he left the band the following year to be replaced by Jeff Beck. He went on to play with John Mayall and before long Eric’s flashy guitar playing gained him cult status in the UK. Eric then teamed up with Peter (Ginger) Baker and his best friend Scotsman Jack Bruce to form Cream with the help of Robert Stigwood and released the hits White Room, Badge, Layla, Sunshine of Your Love, Strange Brew, Crossroads and I Feel Free.
On the heels of a sold-out Crossroads Guitar Festival and the announcement of a major world tour, Eric Clapton releases his 21st studio album Old Sock (Universal) his first album since 2010. The album, produced by Clapton and friends features two new original songs, Every Little Thing and Gotta Get Over. The album is a collection of some of Clapton’s favourite songs spanning from his childhood to the present day that highlights his vast appreciation and knowledge of music. Clapton has always had a remarkable ability to recognise great songs and a gift for knowing how to uniquely interpret them, as he does on Old Sock. The album explores romantic standards of the 30s, reggae, soul, rock, and includes a stand-out playful collaboration with Paul McCartney, to create an experience that is quintessential Clapton.

After a 20-year absence from performing in Melbourne, Cameron Daddo is set to return in Australia’s biggest new hit musical at the Princess Theatre from 9th May 2013. Daddo, born and bred in Melbourne, first came to the attention of Australian television viewers as the host of the children’s television show Off the Dish which soon led to him hosting his own program: The Cameron Daddo Cartoon Show. He made his mark on the Australian musical stage in Gordon/ Frost’s Big River, winning several major awards for his critically acclaimed portrayal of Huckleberry Finn. www.legallyblonde. com.au Top 10 albums 1.

SEBASTIAN called in to get advice for what is becoming a popular trend– the use of hyphenated names when people marry or cohabit and produce offspring. Sebastian has a hyphenated surname and is very worried because his eldest son Hubert is getting married. Sebastian’s surname is Ivor-Gottar. Once upon a time, just to make things easier for everyone, when people married, the wife would take the husband’s surname, relinquishing her maiden name. This made it easy for departments of births, deaths and marriages all over the world. I think the aristocracy in England started the craze of hyphenated names so the family silverware would be passed on to the rightful heirs. They also suffered the delusion that a hyphenated name sounded more important. I think the only people they were fooling were themselves. There are other names for them, but this is a family newspaper. Some of the hyphenated surnames have to be seen to be believed. Names like Foote-Smelle, Parson-Wind, Argus-Tuft, Dogge-Barken, Eize-Water, and the stupidity of Smith-Smith are among the many noted. Hubert’s fiancee Kayla is a “modern woman”, a feminist and a member of Emily’s List (look it up on the internet). She wants to retain her surname so she does not have to defer to her husband as she is equal in every way. Hence a hyphenated surname is her answer. She is not worried about later generations or that all the bureaucratic forms will need half a page for the surname alone. One thing for sure is her adamant decision to call her first-born son John, a family tradition. Tradition is important to Kayla. Hubert has no choice but to go along with this. Kayla’s surname is Cilli-Naim. Hence their son will be known as John Ivor-GottarCilli-Naim. Sebastian is beside himself (and me at the moment). Poppy’s solution I don’t want to upset the two feminists who read this column, but Blind Freddy can see that by breaking with, dare I say it, “patriarchal tradition”, this whole hyphenating of surnames will become a nightmare. If something isn’t broken, don’t fix it, I say. I got a stubby for Sebastian and myself, then told him the only solution I could see was for him to buy a boat, go fishing and try to put this out of his mind. I did sort of suggest Hubert might be “spirited away” on the day of the wedding as another solution, but left that up to him. Sebastian left muttering about Haines Hunter boats, outboard motors, changing names by deed poll, kidnapping techniques and the need to restock his bar fridge.
A Grain of Salt IT’S the heatwave. My brain was frazzled, the threads barely visible. Try Cliffie. Write anything ...“Knowledge brings power to people!” Where do we acquire this knowledge; Mount Sinai? Innovative ways of involving different sections of the community in matters of obesity? Psychological reasons for implementing programs in the workplace? Can it work, impact? Healthy dads and mums, healthy kids, the importance of living together as a family, eat together. A meaningful conversation between parents and children (USA study) works out at 3.5 minutes a week. Enthusiastic PT teachers, workplace power, a blokey program; evidence based. Information sessions, DVD presentations. It’s all about equality of life; a new language. Listen up! Vague but it’s the best I can manage. *** FOLLOWING on, the NHMRC (these names? National Health Medical Research Council; read “control freaks”) official new dietary guidelines for the evening meal suggest up to 100 grams of fish (don’t drop it or you’ll never find it) rice and a small boiled potato with a glass of water. And that’s for men! For the lovelies it’s a cup of pasta, small beef mince, kidney beans and half an onion; resulting in a race of healthy skeletons. If anyone out there is forced to try this (by a hoodwinked partner or parent) I suggest an unob-
trusive visit to your local pie shop. Skip the sauce; it smells. *** ON the internet: Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what is known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. See? It’s not us, it’s the bloody doors. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. Phew. *** DERRYN Hinch: “With my new found health I want to spend my remaining years focussing on my career.” Derryn mate, devote what remains to obscurity. Renounce all concern for name and glory. Among other gratifications give up the one which comes from other people’s approval. It’s a waste of your now valuable time. Try Chelsea, or New Zealand. *** TEDDDY knocks off $600 million from the health budget then screams because Julia did likewise with $107 million; Julia pays up but Health Minister David Davis still screams fowl. As a not so avid listener of numerous hospital stories at my local RSL I’m intrigued by the permanency of complaints. My personal experiences oppose these views. Rosebud and Frankston hospitals (including one overnight in a passageway) have al-
ways been friendly, professional and downright nice. We are lucky with our terrific hospital system, in spite of politicians. *** I COULD never warm to Wayne Swann, his skill at sticking with the strength outweighing his knowledge of the multiplication tables. His words about Julia on television “many would agree is the toughest warrior for Labor values in our history?” His shadow, if Joe Hockey could ever be described as such, is surely his equal, either rubbishing something outright and misleading the voters or claiming it as his idea in the first place; a mind change on the flip of a threepenny bit. Both without courage and much bluster and both appear to hide an inferiority complex suggesting (to me at least) they could well be a threat to the public interest. Surplus, surplus and nothing else. Well, not for Wayne anymore; a false figure anyway, a doctored bottom line. A decent-size deficit would surely get things up and running again. Most of the good things done in Victoria were built on deficits. No real damage for now I suppose, both being such glorified “yes” men. *** ON the surface it appears Ben Zygler, with his dual citizenship, was an Israeli secret service spy (as in spying on us) but decided on a bit each way with ASIO. Then Moses (the Mount Sinai lawgiver) found out and into prison
and eventual (suspicious) suicide. No surprises there. The Israelis, like the Board of Control for Cricket in India with ABC commentator Jim Maxwell, are a law unto themselves. Bob Carr and Stephen Smith’s comments suggest it will all blow over. Kevvy Rudd had a go at forged passports by Israel some years back, howled down by many. How is Julian Assange travelling Bob? Check both matters out with Barack O before you answer. *** “SINCE [narcissists] deep down feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world’s fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.” (M. Scott Peck). I immediately think of the AFL, a giant money ship full of leaks and super self- important people supposedly of substance and Matt Rendell and the Melbourne Football Club and no Tassie team and money, lots of money. Why is that? Does money corrupt? Nah, well, only if it’s coming your way. Oh, and Mossad. *** According to Pope Benedict XV1 God told him to devote himself to quiet contemplation; me too ... I’m all for
By Cliff Ellen
formula feeding babies; allows me to get a good night’s sleep ... If Peter Ryan wants interlock devices for .05 I’m against it; dictatorial fascism … White night in Melbourne; bugger, I missed it ... A $500,000 fine for the Melbourne Football Club; surely a book figure ... Jeffrey Kennett says the good story of Teddy’s Liberals is not being communicated. I’m all ears Jeffrey, leaving aside teachers, TAFE and massive cuts to Peninsula Health ... By day five of the heatwave I was ready for the coffin; makes you realise how courageous our fire fighters are ... Bee Gees Barry Gibb reflecting on the passing of another brother “There are a lot of things I didn’t see before. I don’t know why but I’m seeing them now.” Too true Barry...Who is Ringo Starr?

Baxter, POB, Sharks and Dogs in semis PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER will tackle Peninsula Old Boys while Sorrento will tackle Mornington in MPCA Provincial semi-finals this weekend. While Baxter and the Old Boys will head into the knockout final coming off wins, the Doggies and Sharks will need to turn around their last round form in the semi-final clash after losing their final home and away matches. The teams have met once this season. The reigning premiers met POB in the first game after Christmas, a oneday match at Baxter Park. On that occasion, POB won the toss, sent Baxter in to bat and restricted the home side to 8/140 in its allocated 40 overs. Daniel Warwick top-scored for Baxter with 64, while Adam Jones and Jon Forrest did the damage with the ball with 3/20 and 3/36 respectively. Unfortunately for the Old Boys, its batsmen couldn’t back up the bowlers and were rolled for 136 in the final over.
Glenn Prendergast led from the front with 50, while Dylan O’Malley was next best with 12. Sam Wolsgrove did the damage with the ball for Baxter with 3/27, while Dale Irving claimed 2/22. Sorrento and Mornington went headto-head at David MacFarlan Reserve just a month ago in round nine. Sorrento batted first and amassed 220 from 74.3 overs, Liam O’Connor top-scoring with 74, Leigh Poholke getting 25 and Rob Dunball 32. A J King at the end put on a more than handy 19. Matt Foon did most of the damage for the Doggies with 5/48 from 18 overs, while Glenn Wood claimed 2/63. In reply, the Doggies had to dig deep but scored 8/225 from its 75 overs. At one stage Mornington was 5/133. Ben Clements top-scored with 57, Luke Popov hit 47 and 15-year-old Ryan McDonald burst onto the MPCA scene with 30. Andrew King claimed 5/84 from 31 overs for the Sharks. All four sides are evenly matched. Luck and producing something special on the day will be the only difference
between them. Mornington is the new kid on the block in terms of finals experience, sitting in the cricketing wilderness in recent seasons. The other three teams are seasoned campaigners. Baxter needs its openers to get it away to a good start, with Dale Irving and Daniel Warwick obvious keys, along with Adrian Mack and Sam Wolsgrove. For POB, Dylan O’Malley, Jon Forrest, Adam Jones and Glenn Prendergast need to be at their best. Jedd Flack, Nick Jewell, Anthony Blackwell and A J King are the keys for the Sharks. The Doggies will rely on Rob Hearn and Ben Clements, along with Matt Foon and Luke Popov. The Doggies look the most potent, together with the Sharks. POB and Baxter have an even spread – the match will be a typical grind. In the final game of the season, Baxter beat Sorrento in the final over of the day. Sorrento batted first and made 146 from 40 overs, Blackwell getting 44 and Mark Dunball 26. Marc Uccello claimed 5/32 with the ball for Baxter. Baxter was cruising
chasing the Sorrento total until the middle order collapsed and it lost 4/28. It was then 9/142, five runs from victory. Irving saved the day with 47, Darren Uccello opened with 23 and Marc Uccello rounded off a great day with 23 batting at 10. Mt Eliza got the chocolates against Long Island. The Islanders batted first and scored 8/136, Justin Bridgeman top-scoring with 71 and Jason Bedford getting 41. In reply, Justin Grant ensured the Mounties got home, scoring 78. Heatherhill batted first against Mornington and scored an impressive 8/203 from 40 overs, Matty Meagher getting 66, Matt Bishop 39 and Steve O’Donnell 38. Glenn Wood claimed 3/71 for the Dogs, while Matt Foon and Jack Heseltine picked up two wickets each. In reply, the Dogs’ batsmen were bowled out 50 runs short. Foon topscored with 41 and Luke Harper hit 30 Daniel Woods did the job for Heatherhill with 3/18, while Meagher took 2/14. POB scored 5/137 in its 40 overs against Mt Martha before bowling
out the home side for 75 in 33.2 overs. Rye finished its season on a high with a win against Moorooduc. Corey Harris top-scored for the Demons in its total of 7/220, while Rhys Wynne was next best with 40. In reply, Moorooduc was restricted to 9/173, Wynne taking 5/38 from 10 overs. Controversy surrounds the Crib Point v Ballam Park match, although the result will have no impact on the final four, or Ballam Park’s pending relegation to District ranks. Crib Point tried everything to get an outright win against Ballam Park but fell short. The Knights won the toss and sent the Magpies in to bat. The Pies piled on 7/154 in 40 overs, Ricky Thompson again top-scoring with 35 and Brad Davidson getting 29. The Pies then rolled the Knights for 93 in 26.3 overs, Luke Herrington getting 4/31. Crib Point then sent Ballam Park back into bat but the Knights scored the required runs, finishing on 8/65 in 13 overs.
Baden Powell knocks out Parkers DISTRICT By IT Gully BADEN Powell will play Langwarrin in one of the MPCA District semifinals this weekend after it knocked Delacombe Park out of the race. In the other semi-final, Carrum play Somerville after they finished in second and third position on the ladder. There were plenty of scenarios that were possible coming into the final round with many teams in contention to make the finals, but the major interest was the result of the Baden Powell versus Delacombe Park match. Played at the home of Delacombe Park, the home side was hot favourite to win. It plays its ground well and is blessed with matchwinners. Its recent form has been the most consistent it has been for most of the season. There is no question that on its day, Delacombe Park was the most potent
team in the competition and the other four teams will be happy it will not be part of finals action. Baden Powell had to take the match up to the home side. The team batted first and scored a more than competitive 4/197 from 40 overs. It appeared to be just under par on the small Delacombe Park ground. In reply, the Braves’ bowlers stepped up to the crease. Nathan Rice snared four of the first five wickets, including Chris Glendinning, Nick Christides, Chris Brittain and Jon Guthrie. At one stage, the Parkers were 5/48. Ben Brittain top-scored with 39 and Shane Deal scored 22 to help the Parkers to 138. Hastings needed everything to go right for it to play finals. Unfortunately, against the Pines on Saturday, absolutely nothing went to plan. It batted first and was bowled out for 91, Scott Phillips top-scoring with 25. Ricky Ramsdale claimed four wickets for the Piners.
In reply, the Blues toiled hard to get Pines six down before the team passed the score with 14 overs to spare. Brett Remy top-scored with 37. Phillips claimed 5/25. Flinders finished the season on a high, knocking over Carrum, which finished second on the ladder. Flinders restricted the Lions to 7/149 from its 40 overs, Lou Gillies claiming 3/22. Timmy Clarke then belted an unbeaten 93 to help the Sharks to 6/152 with 10 balls to spare. Langwarrin was given something to chase against Frankston YCW, which batted first and scored 5/197. Skipper Mark Cooper has hit some form in recent matches and scored 64 while Jake Prosser belted 75, which included five fours and five sixes. The minor premiers got there with five overs to spare. Boneo finished the season on a high, getting the points against Main Ridge. Both looked capable of playing
finals at times during the season but neither could maintain enough consistency to be challengers. Boneo batted first and scored 9/205, Alex Petrovic top-scored with 79 from 67 balls (14 fours and one six) and Matty Rogers belting 43 from 48 deliveries (three fours and two sixes). Cam Williams then claimed 3/57 to help Boneo restrict the Ridge to 8/199. Gareth Wyatt scored 44, Jason Albress 40 and Brendan Rossborough 38. Somerville warmed up for its final quite nicely, beating Seaford four wickets down and with five overs to spare. The Eagles kept Seaford to 8/157 (Damien Lawrence top-scored with 47) before scoring 4/159 in a dominant performance.
Finals preview Carrum and Somerville met in the first two-day game of the season in October last year. Carrum limped to 152 in 74 overs, thanks largely to a
solo performance from Dean Polson, who scored 82. Craig Foster with 23 was the only other Lion to score more than 10. Aaron Kaddatz was the pick of the Somerville bowlers with 4/28, while Russell Wilkes and Sam Delaney claimed two wickets each. In reply, the Eagles team was cruising at 2/72, before crashing to be all out for 124. Ben Delaney topscored with 48. Keith Burdett was still getting into the swing of cricket again. Langwarrin met Baden Powell in round four at Lloyd Park. On that occasion, the Braves squad won the toss and batted and was dismissed for 108 in 63 overs. Andy Johnson claimed 4/30 for the Kangas, while Mal Coutts and Dwayne Doig each collected two wickets. Sam Mullavey top-scored with 19 for the Braves. In reply, Langwarrin scored 222 in 69.4 overs. Johnson scored 49, David Ross 39 and Simon McEvoy 31.
Seaford into finals as Tyabb goes down SUB DISTRICT By IT Gully TYABB has missed out on MPCA Sub-district finals after going down to Red Hill in a must-win game. Its percentage wasn’t good enough to compete with six of the top sides and in the end proved to be its downfall. Seaford Tigers was the beneficiary, sneaking into fourth place without playing a match. The Tigers had the bye and collected 12 points. Its percentage was good before the match. Rosebud limped into the finals and its poor form after Christmas was highlighted by its draw with cellar

dwellers Carrum Downs on Saturday. Balnarring stormed into the finals with an emphatic victory over Pearcedale. Balnarring finished on top of the table and will play the Tigers in the semi-final this weekend. In the other semi-final, Rosebud will tackle Red Hill in an all-southern peninsula match. Pearcedale had to beat Balnarring to get a place in the finals. It lost the toss and was given the new ball but could not restrict the minor premiers. Balnarring was on fire with the bat and scored 6/207, Michael Griese top-scoring with 53, Brenton Taylor opening with 52 and Luke Chapple,
Mornington News 5 March 2013
Tim Jessup and Mark Walles all getting runs. The Panthers’ batsmen were then restricted to 8/159 off 40 overs. Kaine Smith top-scored with 53 while Brad Trotter scored 35. Brad Arnold, Chapple and Taylor all claimed two wickets each for Balnarring. Red Hill batted first against Tyabb and smacked 5/216. Simon Dart scored an unbeaten 84, while Riley Shaw (37) and Owen McKillip (36) made good contributions. The Hillmen bowlers then did the job, bowling out the Yabbies in the second-last over. Luke Toy claimed 3/52 and Nick
Wood and Dart picked up two wickets. Luke Rus has had a sensational season for the Yabbies and top-scored again on Saturday with 50, while Nick Taranto compiled 43.
Finals preview
Balnarring and Seaford Tigers met in round 10 in what proved to be a one-sided match. The Tigers batted first and were rolled for just 88 in the 36th over. Brad Arnold was dominant for the visitors with 6/38, while Mitch Kleinig snared 3/21. Balnarring wasn’t great with the bat and was bowled out for 147 after being 3/90 at one stage. Taylor top-scored with 32 and Chris Murphy scored 29.
Corey Hand claimed 4/54 for the Tigers, and Dave James and Gavin Gardiner-Smith each picked up two wickets. Rosebud and Red Hill met in the final game before Christmas in round six. The Buds batted first and were well held to 158 from 74.1 overs. It was 3/21 before Leigh Parslow (30), Peter Doughty (22), Brian Doughty (20) and Scott Millar (22) resurrected the innings. Rosebud then tore through the Red Hill batsmen, dismissing them for just 63. Jason Nagel and Scott Millar bowled 18 overs each and picked up 5/33 and 5/26 respectively.

Peninsula’s Jonathan Munz in the money BIG-SPENDING owner Jonathan Munz had a thoroughly deserved return on his investment when Ferlax won the $500,000 Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Munz has put a lot of money into racing but has had only limited success. His enthusiasm was fired in the early days when he enjoyed feature race victories with the classy Show No Emotion, who won such races as the Ascot Vale Stakes, Angus Brut and A J Moir Stakes as well as a third behind General Nediym in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes. Other top-liners such as Above Deck, Molotov, Purple Groove, Rekindled Interest, Sharkbite and Gunnamatta – a winner of three consecutive Mornington Cups – have carried his white and red stripes and encouraged him to go in deeper. This led to him developing the Pinecliff training facility on Sunnyside Rd in Mt Eliza. In more recent times he has had Jim Conlan as his private trainer and this is paying dividends. Since winning the 2011 Group 2 Dato’tan Stakes under Conlan’s care, Rekindled Interest went on to finish third behind Pinker Pinker in the Cox Plate. Unfortunately Rekindled Interest failed to recapture that form this season but Ferlax’s performance in
the Guineas will have heartened Munz and Conlan. A winner of his three previous races, Ferlax went into the race a relative outsider but was brilliantly ridden by Stephen Baster. He was quickly into his stride and settled in third place on the rails before securing a run inside the pacemaker around the 300-metre mark. He went on to score in authoritative fashion from the promising filly You’re So Good with Sheer Talent third. The win has left Munz and Conlan with a dilemma of which feature race to tackle in the coming weeks. A logical progression would be Randwick Guineas (1600m) on Saturday week and then the Rosehill Guineas (2000m) on 30 March. The alternative program would be to keep the son of Pentire fresh for the All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on 27 April and the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on 8 June. “I think we have a very good, very exciting horse,” Conlan said of Ferlax. “He is quite immature still and we don’t want to overtax him at this stage of his career as there are a lot of good races ahead of him. “He could even be a Cox Plate horse in the spring.” *** IMPORTED galloper Green Moon is poised to notch another major victory for leading owner Lloyd Williams when he runs in the $1 million Australian Cup at Flemington on
Mt Eliza winner: Ferlax with Stephen Baster on board takes the prestigious Australian Guineas at Flemington.
Saturday. At his only appearance since winning last year’s Melbourne Cup, Green Moon finished a pleasing third behind boom three-year-old All Too Hard in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 23 February. This effort will have primed him for his Australian Cup outing and he will appreciate the extra 600 metres as well racing on the spacious Flemington circuit. Interestingly, Green Moon won the Blamey Stakes (1600m) on the day last year and the ruling Melbourne Cup favourite Puissance De Lune is to resume in the event. The Blamey Stakes was Green Moon’s only start in the autumn and that is the plan with Puissance De Lune, a promising stayer. The entire, who is trained at Ballarat by Darren Weir, created a huge impression when bolting away with the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2500m) on the last day of the Melbourne Cup
carnival. After the event, three-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Glen Boss predicted Puissance De Lune could win the 2013 renewal. *** WITH Black Caviar remaining on the sidelines, her trainer Peter Moody will be relying on Moment of Change in the $1 million Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday. The lightly raced four-year-old is a Group 1 winner and resumed with an encouraging second behind Black Caviar in the Lightning Stakes (1000m) on 16 February. This led to Moment of Change being elevated to favouritism for the Newmarket and while he is the horse to beat, a long-shot with legitimate claims is the Queenslander Spirit Of Boom. A Group 1 placed five-year-old, Spirit of Boom had an interrupted passage when resuming with a third to the speedy Mrs Onassis
in the Oakleigh Plate (1100m). He will be fitter for this outing, is very comfortable racing down the Flemington straight and is expected to be right in the finish. Others to take my eye as potential winners: Glows, Spartini, Sheila’s Star, Unchain My Heart, You’re So Good, Hvasstan, Bass Straight, Perturbo, Practiced, Dark Sun, Shilly Shally Miss, and Red Rain.

Edging out commendable competitors, the 2012 Pajero Exceed 3.2CDi automatic was named “Best seven-seat 4WD over $70,001”.
