Binge drinking teens at risk By Keith Platt YOUNG people on the Mornington Peninsula and in Frankston have more alcohol-related problems than anywhere else south of Melbourne. Statistics from 10 municipalities show peninsula and Frankston youngsters are more likely to be assaulted, in road accidents, admitted to hospital or subjected to family violence.

The problems they face are also well above the state average. Mornington Peninsula Shire, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;similar to Victoriaâ&#x20AC;? in socioeconomic characteristics, has a significantly higher rate of licensed premises per 10,000 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rate of alcohol-related assaults of 18-24 year old residents, rates of serious road injuries in this age group and rates of alcohol-related hospital

admissions in both age groups where significantly higher than Victorian rates,â&#x20AC;? according to the Victorian Alcohol Statistics Handbookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent figures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slightly disadvantagedâ&#x20AC;?

Liberals stay ‘on message’ By Mike Hast THE Liberal Party has anointed federal MPs Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson as their candidates for the seats of Flinders and Dunkley at the 2013 election. The sitting MPs were unchallenged at the recently completed pre-selection process in Victoria for incumbent parliamentarians. They will be formally confirmed in March after the expiry of time for branch members to object to the preselections. Speaking to The News on Friday afternoon at the Western Port Festival launch for sponsors, Mr Hunt said no objections had been received for either he or Mr Billson. “Confirmation of our pre-selections appear to be a formality,” he said. Mr Hunt, the Opposition’s spokesman for climate action, environment and heritage, was elected as Flinders MP in 2001, replacing Peter Reith a minister in the Howard government. Mr Hunt was re-elected in 2004, 2007 and 2010. He holds Flinders by a margin of nine per cent. The electorate covers the Mornington Peninsula from Portsea to Mt Martha, and the northern and eastern shores of Western Port including French and Phillip islands. Mr Hunt has raised his profile in recent times with criticism of the federal government’s carbon tax, vigorous promotion of the Opposition’s socalled direct action plan that it claims would reduce CO2 emissions by five per cent by 2020 based on 1990 levels, and involvement in a long-term ww-

campaign to clean up Port Phillip. Mr Billson, the Opposition’s spokesman for small business, competition policy and consumer affairs, was elected as Dunkley MP in 1996. He was the veterans’ affairs minister in the Howard government. He was re-elected in 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2010. He holds Dunkley by a margin of four per cent, regarded as marginal. The electorate stretches from Seaford to Mt Martha and across to Langwarrin South. The boundary between Dunkley and Flinders is Bentons Rd, Moorooduc Hwy, Baxter-Tooradin Rd and Western Port Hwy. Both MPs survived the defeat of the Howard government by the Kevin Rudd-led ALP in 2007. Mr Hunt’s margin of 11.2 per cent was shaved by just under three per cent by his ALP opponent Gary March

and candidates from the minor parties, including Greens candidate Robert Brown (not the Bob Brown), who won almost 8.5 per cent, up 2.2 per cent. In the Howard government, Mr Hunt was Parliamentary Secretary of the Environment and then Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade. In 2007, Mr Billson survived a five per cent swing across the electorate that saw only one booth, central Mt Eliza, not go backwards. The gains made at the 2004 election, when Mark Latham took Labor to a big defeat, were wiped out when Mr Billson lost more than half of his 9.4 per cent margin. In 2010 he lost a further three per cent.  Election statistics from Dr Adam Carr’s Psephos website: http://psephos.adam-carr.net/

Thousands due at Easter fun day NEW Peninsula Baptist Church’s annual Free Family Fun Day at Easter is expected to attract 6000 people to the church in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Free activities include amusement rides, crafts for children (face painting, plaster mould painting and woodwork), displays by police, CFA, SES and marine rescue, music, food (barbecue, hot snacks and drinks), four-wheel drive demonstrations, vintage cars and hot rod displays. Event organiser Merv Williams said the fun day would be run by hundreds of volunteers and was the church’s Easter gift to the community.

“We will have the biggest offering of activities, food and rides in the 15-year history of the event,” he said. “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 on Saturday 17 March, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha.

Deputy mayor flouts convention to back MP By Mike Hast DEPUTY mayor Cr Anne Shaw has ignored a local government convention by backing federal politician Greg Hunt. In late January, Cr Shaw wrote a letter supporting Mr Hunt’s nomination for pre-selection in the federal seat of Flinders. The Victorian division of the Liberal Party late last month unsurprisingly endorsed Mr Hunt as its candidate for Flinders at the 2013 election. He won the seat in 2001 when Peter Reith retired and was re-elected in 2004, 2007 and 2010. Cr Shaw’s support for the MP breaks

a long-standing convention that Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors not get involved in federal politics. The Mt Martha Ward councillor has not broken any law, but The News believes some of her 10 council colleagues are privately annoyed at her action. None would speak on the record, reflecting the council’s mostly successful attempts to project a collegiate public image. Cr Shaw “reference” for Mr Hunt is signed “Councillor Anne Shaw, Deputy Mayor, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council”. In the letter she says she is “delighted to support the nomi-

nation of Hon. Greg Hunt M.P., as Liberal candidate for the Federal seat of Flinders”. “Greg is an exceptional Member of Parliament. I have worked closely with Greg twice in the capacity of Mayor and for nine years as a Councillor of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, I can testify that Greg is a passionate and highly effective advocate for the people of the Flinders electorate.” Cr Shaw describes Mr Hunt as enthusiastic, energetic, well respected and a genuine leader. He has “tremendous support from the community, which he has developed as a highly popular and visible local member”.

HIA “Home Of The Year”

She states that “in time he will make a major contribution to the Party’s national future”. On Wednesday, Cr Shaw said Mr Hunt had asked her for a personal reference in support of his pre-selection and “I was happy to do so”. “My letter is not on council letterhead; it’s not an official council document,” she said. Cr Shaw said if it had been on shire letterhead she would have asked her colleagues. Local government councillors in Australia have wrestled with the vexing issue of party politics for many years.

Many aspiring councillors or those seeking re-election have gone to the electorate saying they do not belong to the major political parties. Mornington Peninsula Shire councils elected since 1997 have been particularly scrupulous in avoiding party politics. Shire councillors do not hand out how-to-vote cards for politicians. Councillors can be members of major political parties, but often find themselves voting against their Liberal or Labor colleagues in the council chamber.  See ‘Liberals stay on message’ on opposite page.

A happy band: Members of Mornington Youth and Citizens Band and representatives of other groups that use the pavilion with Cr Bev Colomb (white top), shire CEO Michael Kennedy (grey suit) and Cr Leigh Eustace (dark suit) at the official opening.

New life for historic pavilion THE refurbished Mornington Park Pavilion was officially opened on Saturday. Completed late last year, the heritage-listed building built in the 1930s has a new front entrance, foyer, environmentally friendly toilets, roof, floor, electrical services, kitchen, heating, cooling, furniture, storage, lighting and structural improvements. The pavilion is used for functions, dancing classes, weddings and social gatherings, and is home to Mornington Youth and Citizens Band.

The renovation was part of the shire’s $3 million annual major building refurbishment program. The band played at the opening. Mornington Park was set aside as a reserve in 1863. It showed the foresight of the citizens of the town that they worked to have the Esplanade frontage permanently reserved for recreation. In her history of Mornington, In the Wake of Flinders, Leslie Moorhead wrote “the park has been truly a place of recreation throughout the past century.

“Picnic parties have come from the city and suburbs by horse-drawn drag, by steam boat, by steam train, by “charabanc” and by motor bus to the park to enjoy a day by the seaside under the spreading cypresses, trees which seem designed for easy climbing by small adventurers. “Sports clubs have exercised on the cleared grass, the fire brigade has practised with hose and wheel on an asphalted area; until the late 1920s cyclists trained on a circular track, and earlier residents enjoyed the delights

of a rotunda in the park with a dancing floor below and a bandstand above.” The distinctive stone archway at the entrance was erected in 1932 as part of an employment scheme during the Depression. Part of the pavilion is constructed of similar stone, probably taken from the foreshore. Mornington was known as Schnapper Point until 1864 when it was named after the seat of the Earl of Mornington in County Meath, Ireland. Mike Hast

Shave and colour for leukaemia BISCOTTINI restaurant owner Elio Giucastro is among people losing his hair for the Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave this month. Mr Giucastro’s inspiration is his wife Angela, who is undergoing treatment for stage four lymphoma, a form of blood cancer. The couple’s friends, family and regular clients will gather at their Mornington restaurant on Friday 16 March to shave, colour and wax. The men at Biscottini will shave their heads and the women will colour their hair pink in honour of Angela’s favourite colour. They aim to raise $10,000 for the work of the foundation and are almost halfway to the total already. Angela Giucastro (nee Pezzimenti) was diagnosed 15 years ago, at age 25, before she had children, who are now aged 5 and 7. After treatment she was in remission for many years, but relapsed two days after Christmas 2011. The Giucastros were involved in a bitter, five-year battle over their property at 42 Barkly St, which was heritage listed by Mornington Peninsula Shire after they bought the property from Denise Hassett in 2006. They were stopped from demolishing the house, built in 1920 by James Louis Edgeworth Somers, a doctor who ministered to the sick from 1893 to 1938 in the town and on the peninsula. Last July the couple was ordered to restore Bloomfield Lodge, which had been damaged by fires and vandals. In December, the shire ordered the house be demolished after an engineer reported the chimney was in danger of collapsing.

Mornington News 8 March 2012

Hairy promise: Elio Giucastro is joining the World’s Greatest Shave to support his wife, Angela, and the Leukaemia Foundation.

Ms Giucastro blames the controversy over Barkly St for the return of her illness and the couple has put the nowvacant land on the market and it will go to auction on Saturday 24 March. Stephanie Hechenberger of the foundation said about 11,500 Australians are diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma each year, including 2500 in Victoria.

“Blood cancers are devastating. Treatment can continue for years and it’s especially tough for regional families who have to relocate to the city for treatment,” she said. “The World’s Greatest Shave is important as money raised funds free services to support patients and their family, including information, emotional care, transport and accommodation for

regional Australians who need to move closer to hospital. “Money raised also goes to research of blood cancer, which is Australia’s biggest cancer killer after lung cancer.” It was hoped to raise $3.2 million in Victoria, she said.

New doco: A poster for the Australian homebirth documentary Face of Birth.

Homebirth doco at Monash TWO Frankston women “passionate about women’s choices in childbirth” have organised screening of a new Australian documentary, Face of Birth, at Monash University’s peninsula campus. Meredith McLaren and Sue Holland say the doco “explores the experiences of families who choose to give birth at home, the midwives and health professionals who support them, and a health system that often works against them”. The doco includes interviews with mothers and experts from around Australia and the world including Noni Hazlehurst, Euan Wallace, Sheila Kitzinger and Michel Odent. “The film will be screening at more than 44 venues in Australia and we expect considerable interest,” Ms McLaren said. “The topic of homebirth has been prominent recently due to a legislative debate regarding the regulation of midwives who offer homebirth as a service, the provision of Medicare for these services, and the conditions under which a woman can choose to birth at home.” Money raised from the screening will go to a birth centre in Bali and gift subscriptions to the Australian Breastfeeding Association to be given to Frankston Hospital for patients. Guest speakers will include Rhea Dempsey, a childbirth educator, who appears in the doco. Face of Birth screens at the university’s Building E209 at 7pm on Thursday 15 March. Tickets are $15 prepaid or $20 at the door. Details: Meredith McLaren, 0409 756 595 or Sue Holland, 0425 736 563.

Woman fined over false compo claims A 54-YEAR-old Mornington woman has been fined $1500 for fraudulently claiming $13,600 in workers compensation. The woman suffered a back injury while working as a sales representative in April 2010, but eight months later was working in a similar position for another employer. She was seen driving when she claimed this was not possible and at monthly medical appointments did not tell her doctor that she’d returned to work for a different employer. Based on the information provided by the women, the doctor issued certificates stating she could not work. Frankston magistrate Rodney Crisp convicted and fined the woman $1500 with $1500 costs after she pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining payments under the Accident Compensation Act. Mr Crisp said it was hard enough for medical practitioners to make a correct diagnosis without having to decipher incorrect medical histories. The director of WorkSafe’s return to work division Dorothy Frost said most injured workers did the right thing in terms of their claim, but warned that there was a lot at stake with dishonesty offences. “Apart from the fraud and having to repay the money relatively quickly, convictions are serious matters which can seriously limit work, financial and travel opportunities. “The system is there to ensure people who are hurt at work get the support they are entitled to under the law. It is paid for by the community, so when it is undermined, everyone pays. “Returning to work in the right way means many, perhaps, unforeseen consequences can be avoided, and importantly an individual’s quality of life is maximised.” Ms Frost said medical evidence showed work was good for overall health and wellbeing. “If you have the capacity to work you can declare it, still get treatment, benefits and get back on the job. It need not be your former role and it can be on reduced hours, but it’s important to do

it correctly,” she said. Information on workers’ compensation matters and preventing injuries can be found at www. worksafe.vic.gov.au or by calling WorkSafe’s advisory service on 1800 136 089.

Labourer’s $10,000 timely payout A MORNINGTON labourer has been back paid $10,000 by a Bendigo company which had underpaid him for 11 months. The Australian Building and Construction commissioner Leigh Johns said the 23-year-old man had worked for the building company casually between June 2010 and May 2011. “The company incorrectly assumed that because their enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) had expired, they should pay the labourer according to the generic building and construction award rate,” he said. “However, if an EBA has expired it continues to apply unless it has been formally terminated or a new agreement has been negotiated. “No company wants to face hefty back-payments, especially not smaller employers in the building and construction industry.” Mr Johns said it was a priority of the ABCC to educate employers about their obligations and provide advice and guidance to assist them to comply with workplace laws. “The ABCC promotes fair and productive building and construction work. It also monitors compliance and investigates breaches of national workplace legislation.” For details call the ABCC 1800 003 338 or visit www.abcc.gov.au.

Speed cuts for residential, rural roads By Mike Hast THE speed limit in a residential part of Rosebud will be cut from 50 to 40km/h in an attempt to reduce serious and fatal crashes. Mornington Peninsula Shire says in the past five years, 268 casualty crashes were recorded in residential areas on the peninsula. An alarming number saw pedestrians and cyclists injured. If successful, the 12-month trial in

39 streets in “The Avenues” will be rolled out in nine other residential areas of the shire. The trial will be evaluated by the Australian Road Research Board. It has the support of Victoria Police and VicRoads. During March, 33 signs will be erected in The Avenues – which is bounded by Eastbourne, Jetty, Point Nepean and Boneo roads – at a cost of $94,000.

The 40km/h experiment, starting mid-March, is part of the shire’s Peninsula Safer Speeds project, which also includes lowering speed limits on rural roads. Thirteen roads in the north of the shire had limits lowered from 100km/h to 90 or 80 last year. Roads in the south will get lower limits this year. They include four sections of

Browns Rd as well as Sandy, Old Cape Schanck, Baldrys, Main Creek, Shoreham, Pt Leo, Meakins, Old Moorooduc, Boundary, Red Hill, Stanleys and Merricks Beach roads. Ten of the roads will have speeds lowered from 100km/h to 90 and two to 80. Most fatalities occur on rural highspeed roads, the shire says. Over the past five years, an average of 11 people were killed each year with the worst being 2008 when 14 died. A report to shire councillors in June 2010 by the shire’s road safety officers Doug Bradbrook and Robin Tiffany stated evidence from around Australia and overseas showed that significant casualty crash reductions of 15 per cent could be achieved by lower speed limits. The Rosebud and rural roads experiments are costing more than $200,000

with about $50,000 coming from the shire and the balance from the Transport Accident Commission. The shire states Peninsula Safer Speeds, part of the shire’s DriveSafe Strategy, aims to have drivers reduce their speed to significantly improve safety for all users of the streets. A 40km/h limit on residential roads also would discourage through traffic and keep it on arterial and collector roads. The Rosebud trial will be explained to residents at a community information event and sausage sizzle 3.30-5pm on Thursday 8 March in the Rosebud Senior Citizens Centre car park, 115125 Ninth Ave, one of the streets in the trial zone. For more information call the shire on 1300 850 600, email saferspeeds@ mornpen.vic.gov.au or on Facebook at Peninsula Safer Speeds

Trial took three years to start

Limits lowered: Speed limits on 12 rural roads in the southern peninsula such as Stanleys Rd will be reduced by 10 or 20km/h in an effort to reduce crashes causing injury or death. Picture: Yanni

A TRIAL of lower speed limits across the entire shire was proposed in 2009 by the Monash University Accident Research Centre. The proposal was accepted by shire councillors and officers and a report was prepared and submitted to the Labor state government. It was rejected by then Roads Minister Tim Pallas, who said the government’s preferred approach was to target high-risk areas and reduce speed limits rather than a shire-wide trial. This is the genesis of the cuts to limits on the 13 northern roads and the 12 southern peninsula roads as well as the Rosebud trial. Statistics for the last five-year period available, 2004-2008, show crashes on peninsula rural roads cost the community $33 million, while crashes on residential streets cost $46 million. The shire is aiming for a 15 per cent cut in casualty crashes with 10km/h speed limit cuts on rural and residential roads. Over five years “the community benefit in cost terms would be a saving of about $12 million”.

FRANKSTON AIRCONDITIONING & HEATING Servicing Peninsula Wide

Councillor slams pool ‘news’ By Mike Hast SHIRE councillor Graham Pittock has slammed last week’s council announcement about the Rosebud aquatic centre, saying it is misleading. “I want to disassociate myself from the press release,” he said. “It’s not telling the whole story.” On Wednesday, shire mayor Cr Frank Martin said in the release that state Environment Minister Ryan Smith had consented to a pool complex being built on Rosebud’s foreshore. Cr Martin stated the site identified was adjacent to Rosebud Memorial Hall, and stressed that the size and function of the much-appreciated Village Green would not be impacted. Cr Pittock, last year’s mayor, said the press release was inaccurate as the shire was in the process of seeking per-

mission for a second site for the pool complex, known as the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre or SPA. “The mayor wrote to the environment minister last December seeking permission to build the pool on the foreshore between Rosebud Carnival Park and Rosebud Bowling Club, a distance of about 450 metres,” he said. “Mr Smith has given consent for a site at the carnival park and the adjacent memorial hall, nowhere else. “Now shire officers and CEO Michael Kennedy have asked Mr Smith for permission to build on a site about 250 metres further east. They want to move the lawn bowls club and use its land, but there is not enough space.” Cr Pittock said a large part of the Village Green, which was next to the bowls club, would have to be used.

“For Cr Martin to publicly state the Village Green would not be impacted is a furphy,” he said. Cr Pittock said he had become annoyed at a council briefing on Monday when councillors were told the Village Green was safe. “I had a copy of Frank’s letter in my computer and printed out a dozen copies for all councillors.” He said there was silence in the room after he distributed the letter. Cr Pittock believes he has the support of at least four other councillors in his quest to make the SPA planning process more transparent. The SPA issue will impact on all Mornington Peninsula Shire ratepayers as the costs is expected to be between $30 and $35 million. Dr Kennedy and shire officers have

not yet told the council how they intend to raise the money to build SPA, the second of three aquatic centres planned for the peninsula. The aquatic centre at Hastings, Pelican Park, opened in December 2003 and the third centre will be in Mornington. Frankston Council last year approved a $46 million aquatic centre and said it would be paid for with higher rates, grants from state and federal government, and borrowings. Frankston is debt-free, but the shire owes about $38 million.  The shire is holding a special council meeting to discuss the aquatic centre at the council offices in Queen St, Mornington, at 7pm on Monday 19 March. It has cancelled a development assessments committee meeting that was scheduled for that day.

Pool foreshore go ahead sparks controversy By Mike Hast ENVIRONMENT Minister Ryan Smith’s approval of the aquatic centre on the Rosebud foreshore has been attacked by a Labor MP in state parliament. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Frank Martin last Wednesday said the shire had its longawaited consent from the government to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA). He said it was “a significant milestone in the SPA project, as it completes the coastal consent process, subject to the shire providing information specified by the minister”. But the gloss was taken off the announcement when the next day Upper House MP Johan Scheffer criticised Mr Smith’s approval, telling the parliament “developments on Crown land should be coastal dependent”. “The Victorian Coastal Strategy sets out the conditions that the minister must satisfy in making his decision to give his consent.” “The test here is that the minister must be satisfied that the Rosebud Aquatic Centre could not function unless it was built on the foreshore.” Mr Scheffer called on Mr Smith to release the advice he relied on for the foreshore pool approval. The environment minister’s consent is for a site that includes the existing Rosebud Memorial Hall. The hall will be part of the 7500 square metre, two-storey complex that is expected to cost between $30 and $35 million. The hall is in the south-east corner of the building with the bulk of the pool complex on the carnival land. But the shire is also looking at building the pool about 250 metres further east on land partly occupied by Rosebud Bowling Club, which would have to move. This site would also require removal of Rosebud Motor Boat Squadron. The shire would have to return to Minister Smith for approval of this new site.

This illustration is of the ground floor only. The Rosebud Yacht Club on the beach is at the top.

Foreshore pool opponents the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers and Residents Association said Mr Smith’s consent was “a Clayton’s approval”. Association president Alan Nelsen said Mr Smith had not actually approved the Rosebud Coastal Management Plan, which had the pool at its heart. “The minister may have given consent, but he has asked for more information on seven contentious issues,” Dr Nelsen said. These included if the pool had broad-based community support; evidence of so-called net community benefit; a report about coastal vulnerability including storm surges and sea level rise; a proper design of the complex, which the shire had never done; traffic and parking studies; and its economic viability and how the shire would pay for it. Dr Nelsen said another $1 million on reports would have to be spent by the shire, but “we still won’t have certainty”. “The association has never opposed an aquatic centre in Rosebud, but it must not be built on the foreshore.” He said the shire’s stubborn determination over seven years to secure a foreshore had cost millions. “The cost of the pool has gone up from $18 to more than $30 million. “Frankston gained $12.5 million for its pool from the government, but money is no longer available.” Dr Nelsen, a retired engineer, said building an aquatic centre on the foreshore would cost more than inland.

Peninsula a victim of its own fatal attraction By Ursula de Jong, president Nepean Conservation Group COASTAL areas such as the Nepean Peninsula, the southern part of the Mornington Peninsula, have been undergoing change faster than most other areas in Victoria. Environmental and heritage overlays have not protected the historic town of Sorrento nor its hinterland. Coastal scenic quality is an amenity that attracts new residents, yet is threatened by new development accompanying them. The pressures of the “sea change” phenomenon, increased tourism and holiday home ownership, and ever-improving access have had major impacts.

While coastal landscapes, such as that of the Nepean Peninsula are highly valued by the wider community for their scenic beauty and for recreational activities, they are also highly desirable as real estate. One of the consequences of increasing suburbanisation has been the loss of character of place. Balancing the economic, social and infrastructure needs of growing residential and tourism communities with environmental sustainability and the capacity of such a sensitive coastal landscape is a considerable planning conundrum. The Nepean Conservation Group is not against development per se, but we are against inappropriate development. We value our planning overlays – environ-

mental and heritage – and we ask that they are upheld and enforced. We ask that permit applications are just that – requests to vary the stipulations of the overlays – with very sound reasons to do so. Unfortunately, permission is generally granted for any application, unless there is an objection, and then the outcome is generally a compromise of the overlay. When estate agents take to advertising the new large contemporary ‘MacMansions’ on the Nepean Peninsula as “... it’s just like living in the city…”, we know our character of place has been seriously compromised. How are we going to stop simply transplanting the suburb into our fragile coastal environment?

Diverse activities THE Nepean Conservation Group’s annual general meeting was held on Saturday 18 February at Point Nepean National Park. The NCG deals with issues as diverse as vegetation and development overlays; heritage; townscapes; public access; neighbourhood character; hooded plovers; historic towns and fire protection. In conjunction with Parks Victoria and the Mornington Peninsula Shire the NCG coordinates friends groups that care for bushland parks and coastal reserves, for flora and fauna, on the Nepean Peninsula.

Pantry cost ‘can’t be separated’ By David Harrison THE cost of building the Pelican Pantry cafe cannot be extracted from the initial estimate of $4.5 million to build the entire Pelican Park Recreation Centre and its pool, according to the shire. But the total figure for the complex is known to have blown out to $8.9 million – nearly double the first estimate – documents released under Freedom of Information reveal. The major difference was that the original plan, which included a kiosk, was altered to allow for a restaurant/ training facility, the loss-making Pelican Pantry. A revised plan, dated 28 August 2002 and provided under a FOI request, shows the restaurant with a total seating capacity of 160, 80 inside and 80 outside. The Pantry would not account for the total difference between $4.5 million and $8.9 million, but it was a substantial part of the $4.4 million difference. Responding to a FOI request for information on the Pantry, the shire stated: “The building that houses both the recreation centre ‘Pelican Park’ and the cafe ‘Pelican Pantry’ was conceived as one entity ... Where ‘Pelican Pantry’ becomes a ‘standalone entity’ is from an operational and financial perspective ...” Similarly, a request for separate building costs for the Pantry elicited the reply that the buiding “was constructed as one building facility and therefore separate construction costs for Pelican Pantry are not available”. The shire has consistently refused to

The presentation will be simulcast to several venues in Melbourne and Sydney and anyone with a smart phone will be able to text questions for Dr Greenspan. The event is part of the Global Leaders program, which will bring former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Mornington via live satellite simulcast in August.

Cafe culture: The shire is seeking expressions of interest by Wednesday 21 March for the lease of Pelican Pantry Cafe. Total floor area is 361 square metres, a 21-year lease is offered as is the existing liquor licence. The new lessee will have to open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week.

release financial details of the whole Pelican Park enterprise, including the Pantry. It is understood councillors were kept informed – but in some cases it appears the figures they were given came too late to allow them to have any meaningful say in the project. For example, at a forward planning meeting in May 2003, councillors were given what were said to be up to date financial projections – for a facility that opened that December. By May it would probably have been approaching fit-out, too late for councillors to have a real role in the project. Shire staff will not reveal what councillors were told at that meeting. The shire’s modus operandi on the Park/Pantry has been to release figures

in such a way that a complete financial picture of the project could not be assembled, or to decline to provide figures on the grounds they were commercial-in-confidence. Questioners were also told the shire costings made no allowance for any borrowings, that is, repayment of loans was not included in the figures released. This means the figures were inherently distorted, as would be a household budget that omitted mortgage repayments and credit card debt. Inclusion of the debt repayment would have added considerably to the Pelican Pantry shortfall, which, even on the figures the shire did release, rocketed from $18,000 in 2004-05 to a projected loss of $258,000 in 2011-12.

For 2011-12 the shire has budgeted for a loss of $976,000 for the combined recreation centre and cafe. Observers fear that the same financial model as has been used at Pelican Park and Pantry is being used for the proposed Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre on the Rosebud foreshore – except that this time the cost estimate, insofar as it can be calculated, is a whopping $35 million and almost certain to rise, as did the cost of Pelican Park/ Pantry. The initial $35 million estimate would almost double the shire’s debt and guarantee hefty rate rises for years to pay for the contentious pool complex.

on occasion resulted in irresponsible adults supplying significant amounts of alcohol to minors without their parents’ knowledge,” Mental Health Minister Mary Wooldridge said. “We aren’t seeking to limit decisions parents make in relation to their children, but we are seeking to limit the decisions that other people make in relation to children who are not their own.” The foundation says young people who binge drink are more at risk of harms such as sexual assault, injury or even death. “Alcohol causes health risks that accumulate over a lifetime. The younger someone starts drinking, the longer they’ll be exposed to those risks,” chief executive John Rogerson said. Acting CEO of VicHealth, associate professor John Fitzgerald, said alcohol consumption was one of the biggest social issues facing Victoria’s young people. The forums are an interactive education program designed to give parents the practical help and advice they need to deal with alcohol use by their children. They will cover:  The harm that adolescent alcohol consumption can cause.  How parents can assist their children to negotiate adolescence without experiencing alcoholrelated risks or damage.  The secondary supply law. Organisers hope the seminar brings parents together who will then form their own support network. The seminar will be hosted by the Australian Drug Foundation’s community mobilisation policy officer Sarah Jaggard and feature speakers Geoff Munro, the foundation’s policy director and Leigh Bartlett, regional youth affairs consultant with the Barwon Adolescent Task Force. For more information about the new law or for an education pack on the secondary supply of alcohol, visit www.vichealth.vic.gov.au/teen drinkinglaw

“It would be naive to say there is none; it’s inevitable that it goes on, but it is on the lower end of the scale,” Ms Burns said on Tuesday. “It is certainly on the decrease, not increasing.” Ms Burns believed the drop in binge drinking among Mornington Secondary students was a result of drug education programs for years 7-12, the Police Youth Corp program and “working with parents”. Dr David Rankin, Frankston Hospital’s executive director of medical services, confirmed alcohol was a major factor in the injuries sustained by many young people arriving at the emergency department. “Not only does alcohol interfere with young people’s coordination, it impairs their judgement and their relationship with others,” Dr Rankin said. “Too often the doctors and nurses in our emergency department are required to clean up the chaos caused by alcohol use and misuse. “The injuries are sustained in many ways but assaults and car accidents are high on that list and unfortunately often involve innocent bystanders. “While it is the injured young people and their friends who divert our doctors and nurses, absorbing our limited capacity in the emergency department, it is the culture and society that condones and endorses their behaviour that perpetrates this significant burden on the health system. “Like their emergency colleagues on the police force and in ambulances, our nurses and doctors too often need to assist young people who have paid a very high price for their, or their friends, use of alcohol.” The Australian Drug Foundation seminar follows on from new laws introduced last November that ban adults supplying alcohol to minors in a private residence unless they have parental consent. “Previous law on the supply of alcohol to minors did not apply to private residences, which

Peninsula tourism triumphs Opera star comes home on the national stage MORNINGTON Peninsula-based tourism operators have continued their winning ways by collecting seven national tourism awards. Sorrento-based Moonraker Dolphin Swims was one of three Victorian winners at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards held in Cairns on Friday 2 March. Mornington Peninsula Tourism’s executive officer Alva Hemming described the awards as “the most prestigious event on the tourism industry calendar”. “This year, seven peninsula businesses qualified to compete in the national tourism awards by winning their

respective categories last November in the RACV Victorian Tourism Awards,” Ms Hemming said. “The outcome was astonishing, with every single peninsula entrant winning an award – gold, silver or bronze.” Moonraker won the ecotourism category outright and collected a gold trophy. The Enchanted Maze Garden at Arthurs Seat was an entrant in the new product development category and came second (a silver award) to Tasmania’s MONA Gallery. Bronze awards went to Mornington Peninsula Tourism for specialised tourism services; Montalto Vineyard & Olive Grove, at Red Hill South, in the tour-

ism wineries, distilleries and breweries category; Max’s at Red Hill Estate for tourism restaurants and catering services; Big Blue Backyard for hosted accommodation; and Blue Moon Cottages for standard accommodation. “Winning so many awards in such a diverse range of categories at a national level really reflects the true strength, diversity and professionalism of the peninsula’s tourism product and visitor services,” Ms Hemming said. “It was an absolute delight to watch as one by one our tourism businesses were announced as a winner in so many categories.

Councillors fully informed about Pantry says officer Flinders Civic Hall, 6pm Monday 27 February 2012, (splendid buffet meal followed) ALMOST inevitable that Pelican Pantry, the apparently unpluggable faucet draining the shire treasury (another $190K?), should elicit a question, this one from Janet Lenzo, wife of the wellknown but as-yet uncapped council watcher Joe Lenzo. She asked: “How is it possible that a project of

the magnitude of Pelican Pantry with millions of dollars of cost to ratepayers was undertaken by the CEO and officers without a proper council vote.” Governance manager Noel Buck responded, declaring that the council was “fully informed” during every stage of the development, implementation and ongoing operation of Pelican Pantry. Was that oblique answer an admission that councillors did not vote to approve the project? It certainly – as often occurs – did not directly answer the question. Perhaps it’s time for councillors to put Mrs Lenzo’s question directly and forcefully to their employee, CEO Dr Michael Kennedy, and abide no obfuscation from him. ***

SUSTAINABLE environment chief Alex Atkins kindly stood in for the ailing Todd Trimble, communications manager, reading his “What we did in our holidays” shire report. And a splendid “oratation” it was, remarked the mayor Cr Frank Martin when Mr Atkins had finished. Then in jumped governance supremo Noel Buck to “clarify” a tiny matter: the duo named as receiving the shire’s 2012 Australia Day honours were last year’s, rather than this year’s – midwife Joanne Lovelock and student Fiona Sanford, the 2012 sash-wearers as citizen of the year and young citizen of the year. *** WHY did Kangerong Ward councillor David Gibb leave the meeting temporarily when agenda item 2.4, regarding footpaths, was to be discussed? The mayor Frank Martin announced Cr Gibb “has excused himself from debate on this” as the Red Hill cattle farmer strode silently from the chamber. Does Cr Gibb have shares in concrete? No interest in footpaths? No, it turned out he is a director on the board of governors at Toorak College, the Mt Eliza girls’ school his daughters attended many years ago. A footpath beside Old Mornington Rd passed the school was one of the items. Veteran infrastructure project manager Tom Burk told questioner Cr Bev Colomb he was glad she had asked about special charge schemes “because I did actually come prepared” in case he was asked about the subject, “which I’m hoping to divulge if somebody wants to ask me that question”. Cr Colomb obliged, amid chuckles. But Cr Lynn Bowden asked if any footpath work was to be done on the Western Port (her) side of the shire. While Mr Burk was unable to answer that one, Cr Reade Smith informed the chamber that the former Hastings Shire was “very good at building paths”, but the former Flinders and Mornington councils weren’t. Item completed, Cr Martin asked if someone could get Cr Gibb back to the meeting – “He’s probably out there somewhere.” And indeed he was. *** SEVERAL councillors dipped into their ward discretionary funds. The mayor used $5400 of his to buy an all-terrain wheelchair for the Disabled Surfers Association, as previously reported in The News, then sought approval to provide $6000 for Flinders Preschool to buy new playground

equipment. Cr Martin has an impressive $183 left in his fund. Spend it wisely, Frank! (Councillors receive $15,000 a year, that is, $60,000 during their four-year terms.) Cr Antonella Celi was given approval to provide $3000 towards creation of a “Respect Mural” at Eastbourne Primary School that will be “a component of community strengthening, focusing on the building of respectful relationships”. Her $3000 went into a bucket already containing $9000 – $1000 from the school and the rest from Rosebud West Community Renewal. Cr Celi has a tidy $14,000 in the kick to last her for the rest of this election year. Next, Cr Reade Smith got approval for modest amounts to help the Robogals attend the recent Western Port Festival. They money was used to buy promotional caps for the motorcycle youth program, which is associated with the Blue Light Motorcycle Group. Cr Smith’s previous employer was Victoria Police. He also tipped money into the Public Yarn Art and Craft Workshop to buy wool, needles and insurance for an April workshop. Cr Smith’s fund hovers at a healthy $17,000-odd. *** TO end the meeting, Cr Graham Pittock, feeling his oats since being relieved of the mayoral chain burden, announced he had a late item – that the $130,000 or so surplus announced earlier in the evening should be divided equally among councillors to top up their discretionary funds. One suspected Mayor Martin might have been tempted to approve this, with his balance hovering precariously close to zero, but no. Cr Pittock’s game bid to spend money wisely and transparently came to nought. And finally the strains of Happy Birthday rang through Flinders Civic Hall as councillors, staff and people in the public gallery congratulated Cr Tim Rodgers for safely navigating another year. One did not hear if his age was disclosed because of the warbling, but was adjacent enough to note that CEO Kennedy has a high, nasal, slightly thin but superbly in-tune tenor voice. Flood note: Soon after most people had left the hall, the heavens opened and just a few minutes later, water started pouring through light fittings and causing the ceiling to bulge in several places. The peninsula received up to 68mm of rain that night. It was a hairy drive from Flinders to parts north, south and west

Rearguard action over Aldi land at Somerville By Mike Hast SOMERVILLE historians Leila Shaw and Brenda Thornell have mounted a last-ditch attempt to stop the shire selling the Somerville Preschool land to Aldi. The preschool land was donated to the then Shire of Frankston and Hastings in 1946 by Thomas Brunning, Ms Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, who fought in the First World War. Somerville residents raised the money to build a maternal and child health centre on the block at 1097 Frankston-Flinders Rd as a Second World War memorial. The building later became a preschool. Ownership of the land passed from the old shire to the new Shire of Hastings in 1966 and again to the new Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1994. In 2010, Mornington Peninsula Shire supported the relocation of the preschool to a new building behind the primary school and agreed to sell the land to Aldi for about $700,000 for a supermarket and car park. Aldi owns the block next door. The issue has created tension in the town with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old guardâ&#x20AC;? appalled at the proposal and newer residents keen for Aldi to come to town and provide competition for existing supermarkets. Last month the shire held a special meeting, known as a Section 223 Submission Committee Hearing, to hear objectors and supporters of the land sale plan. Leila Shaw said she was speaking on behalf of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somervilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war veterans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those who died, were wounded or taken prisoners of war, their families and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pioneering families who suffered through wars and then worked hard to build our Second World War memorialâ&#x20AC;?. Ms Shaw, the author of three acclaimed history books on the town, gave an impassioned speech at the 223 hearing, saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Destroy our memorial and you dishonour the servicemen and their families who built Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first fruit-growing region.â&#x20AC;? She said the memorial in front of the preschool was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the last bastion of our pioneering families and their historyâ&#x20AC;?.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years, various shire councils have desecrated memorials to our servicemen and women until we have but one left,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They cut down our Avenue of Honour [in Eramosa Rd East] and lost the plaques at the base of each tree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They sold off our memorial cannon for scrap metal and moved our First World War memorial to an insignificant side street. They lost our Second World War memorial plaques from the preschool site as well as the wrought iron gates bearing the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lest we forgetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.â&#x20AC;? Ms Shaw said if the preschool land was sold, the full amount should be given to the Somerville, Tyabb and District Heritage Society so it could buy a suitable block of land to establish a memorial garden. Brenda Thornell, speaking on behalf of the heritage society, said the welfare centre (now preschool) was built as a memorial because there was already a cenotaph. She said the preschool was a solid building and could be refurbished. The lack of parking put forward as a reason for its relocation was not a good reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is lots of parking nearby.â&#x20AC;? Ms Thornell told the meeting she was upset residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money, the $700,000, would be used to build a government asset at the primary school.

State PSO policy in ‘disarray’ LABOR MP Jude Perera says the state government’s Protective Service Officers policy is in disarray with Frankston, Kananook and Seaford railway stations missing out. PSO officers have also been promised by Hastings MP Neale Burgess for all stations on the Stony Point to Frankston line, although no date has yet been given for their arrival. Frankston MP Geoff Shaw on Monday said the deployment of PSOs was determined by Victoria Police “to ensure the areas that are in need of priority assistance from these officers are dealt with first”. Mr Perera – whose electorate covers parts of Carrum Downs, Seaford, Langwarrin and Frankston North – said with the current rate of recruitment, it would take nearly 60 years to fill all PSO positions that the state government promised before the 2010 election. “The government needs to start being honest with commuters and outline when the three stations would have PSO patrolling the platforms as promised,” he said. His criticism came as the first 18 PSOs started work last week after

completing a 12-week course at the police academy. A second group of 21 started training last week. The government has promised 940 guards by 2014. Mr Perera said commuters using the three station were missing out “because the government has bungled the rollout of what was considered its flagship law and order policy”. “The government said Protective Service Officers would be deployed to stations where they were needed most, but Victoria Police can’t do this because most suburban stations don’t have the proper facilities,” he said. Only Frankston had toilets, he said, and there were no detention rooms at the stations. “PSOs are being sent to inner city stations that are already policed and staffed until the last train service each day.” PSOs have the authority to arrest and detain people who are drunk and disorderly. They can search people and property, as well as seize items such as weapons and alcohol. They also can issue on-the-spot fines and directions to ‘move on’ from an area.

Queen sparkles night and day PEOPLE flocked to the foreshore between Dromana and Rosebud to see Queen Mary II leave Port Phillip on Monday. The luxury $800 million liner was the largest ship ever to visit Melbourne. She has been cruising around Australia for three weeks. The Queen passed through The Heads before dawn on Monday, unseen by many, but her departure later in the day saw Point Nepean Rd and foreshore car parks jammed to capacity, said photographer John Remington who took the top photo as the Queen neared McCrae to enter the South Channel. Earlier, Sorrento photographer Andrew Mackinnon captured the ship as she headed down Port Phillip (right). At almost twice the length of the MCG, the 150,000-tonne ship has almost 2500 passengers aboard for 100-

Eyewear As Individual As You Are

day world cruise and is in Australian waters for 28 days, cruising from Fremantle and stopping at Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Darwin before returning to Perth. The ship is almost twice the size of the original Queen Mary and has a

crew of 1200. The ship’s promenade deck is almost 600 metres long. Queen Mary is operated by the Cunard Line and owned by Carnival Corporation & PLC. She is registered in Bermuda.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

Bird guards told to go after beach fight By Keith Platt VULNERABLE hooded plover chicks are being left unguarded at St Andrews beach after volunteer â&#x20AC;&#x153;wardensâ&#x20AC;? were ordered out of the area by Parks Victoria. The Parks ban followed a dog owner allegedly attacking a member of Shorebird Shepherd on Saturday last week as he was protecting two chicks. The assault and subsequent ban has already sparked new calls for dogs to be banned throughout the entire Mornington Peninsula National Park or have them limited to one or two defined areas. Volunteer plover guard Malcolm Brown said he was pushed to the ground after he photographed an unleashed dog at the beach. Mr Brown said the irate dog owner tried to grab the iPhone he had used to take images of the man and his dog. The images were given to police at Rosebud and Parks Victoria, but the next day Parks suspended â&#x20AC;&#x153;all hooded plover wardening and field related volunteering activities within the Mornington Peninsula National Parkâ&#x20AC;?. An email from ranger Darren Mitchell said Parks would review the incident and asked that all volunteers be told to keep away. Mr Brown said he had been guarding two nine-day-old plover chicks at St Andrews when tackled to the ground by a dog walker â&#x20AC;&#x153;obviously upset by the national park dog walking regulationsâ&#x20AC;?. He said he was left with minor abrasions but believes â&#x20AC;&#x153;the dog walker left the beach with a broken toothâ&#x20AC;?.

In danger: An adult hooded plover with a chick, left, while another youngster shelters in a footprint. Their human protectors fear few youngsters will survive this breeding season. Pictures: Glenn Ehmke

Volunteers from Shorebird Shepherd said the chicks were alive and well the following day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the hooded plover population on the Mornington Peninsula has been stable for many years, this breeding season has been the worst in the past decade,â&#x20AC;? Mr Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of the 50 attempts by hooded plovers to nest in the national park this summer, only three chicks have lived longer than 20 days.â&#x20AC;? Mr Brown said there were fewer than 600 hooded plovers in Victoria. A spokesman for SPIFFA (Southern Peninsula Indigenous Flora and Fauna

Now the birds are officially unsupervised altogether,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blind Freddy can see that a crucial level Parks management is not serious about preserving this particular population and that dogs carry more weight than endangered species in this national park.â&#x20AC;?

AROUND THE REGION

Nearly felled over ‘anti-women’ jibe By Mike Hast FRANKSTON councillor Colin Hampton could take two News Limited newspapers to the Australian Press Council over a headline and parts of a story on a website late last month. Cr Hampton says the headline in the Melbourne daily Herald Sun ‘Fury over female put-down: Women should forget local politics and look after the kids’ – made it look like he was anti-women. A similar headline appeared on the paper’s website. The story came from the Frankston Standard Leader and was put on the daily’s website on 24 February. It was about an attempt by Frankston councilors Christine Richards and Sandra Mayer to get council colleagues to support a workshop encouraging more women to run for council at the elections in October. Cr Hampton says he nearly fell off his chair when his wife showed him the story. “The story said I had infuriated my female colleagues by claiming women were too busy to stand for council because they had to look after the kids. I was pointing out that women have more hassles being part of a council than men.”

Cr Hampton said the story greatly overstated the reactions of Crs Richards and Mayer. There was no fury from them, he said. On Wednesday, Cr Richards said Cr Hampton was entitled to vote any way he wished on council matters. Cr Hampton said he voted against Cr Richards’s motion as he believed it contravened the United Nations declaration of human rights, which states everyone is entitled to rights and freedoms without distinction of race, colour, sex, language, religion, political opinion, birth or other status. “I never said women should not be on councils and should stay at home,” he said. “The story and headline were an affront to me.” He had helped get three women into state parliament and one almost into the federal parliament, he said. “I worked on campaigns for Maureen Lyster, Jane Hill and Jenny Lindell, and for Helen Constas,” he said. (Ms Lyster was MP for Chelsea Province in the upper house 1985-92, Jane Hill won the seat of Frankston in 1992 and Jenny Lindell held Carrum 1999-2010. Helen Constas

gave Dunkley MP Bruce Billson a fright at the 2010 federal election.) Cr Richards said women may be the majority of the population, “but you wouldn’t know it if you walked into most of Victoria’s 79 council chambers”. Frankston mayor in 2010 said: “Last year less than 30 per cent of councillors and only 23 per cent of mayors were women.” “We asked our colleagues to help redress the imbalance.” There were only two of nine women on Frankston Council “not because women don’t attract votes, but because not enough women are prepared to stand for election”. “Only 10 women stood for the council in 2008 among 29 candidates. We want to encourage other Frankston women to stand in this year’s local government elections in October. “This is the level of government where you’d be expecting women to shine. The fuss over Cr Hampton’s remarks has had the unintended effect of bringing the workshop to a wider audience. Mornington Peninsula Shire has four women councillors out of 11, just over the state average.

AROUND THE PENINSULA

Former cop’s final job appeal By Keith Platt FORMER policeman Andrew Brady is appealing to Chief Commissioner Ken Lay in a last ditch effort to rejoin Victoria Police. Mr Brady, once a sergeant based at Hastings, knew late last year that it would be an uphill battle to again wear the blue uniform when an official report labelled his approach to policing as dated and one-dimensional. He was told that rejoining the force would require him to start as a rookie, undergoing a 33-week recruit course followed by a four-year wait before being eligible for promotion to senior constable. Mr Brady, a policeman for 22 years, resigned from the force in 2007 and applied to rejoin in May 2011. The latest blow to his quest to return came in a 20 February letter from Bec Munn, executive director of the force’s “people department”, which said a review of his job application had been conducted but “the original assessment still stands”. Ms Munn said Mr Brady could continue with his application to rejoin the force. Mr Brady feels it is unfair that the review was conducted by someone with a lower rank than the person who originally spelt out the terms of him once again being given a job within Victoria Police. “It was not a fair reviw,” he said. “The reviewer was unlikely to go against the decision of someone higher up.

“I’ve got one final appeal to make, and that’s to the chief commissioner. “I’ll have to do it myself; there’s no other avenue.” Hasting MP Neale Burgess emailed Mr Brady late last year to say that he had spoken with Police Minister Peter Ryan “and your case is going to be raised directly with the Chief Commissioner”. “I have spoken to police command seeking a review, and I will continue to push the issue” Mr Burgess told The News. Mr Brady hopes members of the public or community groups that have benefited from his years as a policeman at Hastings will also write to Chief Commissioner Lay. Since his plight was published by The News (‘A cop that cares’, 20/12/2011) Mr Brady says he had received support from strangers “who stopped me in the street”. He said police stationed at Hastings should also be upset at criticism of his type of policing. “They’re having a crack at the way policing is done at Hastings and police there now should take exception to that as well. “I’m not bitter and twisted. I’ve always gone out and done the right thing.” Mr Brady said it seemed police command was content to have road patrols rather than “people like me with a real interest and passion for the local community”. “They just want patrols, not anyone

who will go over and above their duties. “It’s not reasonable to expect someone with my experience to start all over again.” Mr Brady is well known for establishing the Western Port Warriors RecLink football team and pioneering such community projects as the Walking School Bus, essay competitions on the dangers of throwing rocks at trains and the importance of bike helmets, giving all Hastings Westpark Primary School preps a Christmas present. MP for Flinders Greg Hunt has described Mr Brady as “the best and most creative youth worker I have ever seen”. Mr Brady was awarded the Victoria Police Ethical Standards Medal in 1997, a Divisional Commendation in 2005 and was named Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Citizen of the Year in 2008 for services to the community. Mr Brady said his ideas had been to get to kids before they got into trouble, and get them on-side. While it proved successful and popular in the community, this kind of policing was not encouraged [by superiors],” Mr Brady said. “The frustrations I felt led me to taking leave and eventually resigning from the force. “I fully believed that the approach had [now] changed in the force and that my approach may have been more acceptable, but it seems I am wrong.”

Comeback bid: Western Port Warriors RecLink football team coach Andrew Brady has been told to start as a rookie if he wants to rejoin Victoria Police.

AS an experienced educator and mother, Carolyn Ferguson saw the need for an education consultancy on the Mornington Peninsula. Having taught and coordinated in many local secondary schools and having her own children at local primary schools, she realised many parents were asking for assistance about their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education. As a result she returned to study and completed a Masters in Education, specialising in gifted and talented education. At Magnificent Minds, Carolyn can help parents and teachers solve problems that may eventuate with their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education and help guide them through their educational journey, no matter what their age. Some questions Carolyn finds may need answering include: Do you need help with choosing a suitable school for your child? Is your child happy within their current school environment? Do you feel your child is dif-

ferent from other children? Do you feel your child is gifted, but do not know what to do next? Does your child need more stimulation? Is your child trying to balance a sporting career with school and needs help to balance the two? Although Carolyn specialises in working with and assessing gifted and talented children, she has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in many areas of education including mathematics, physical education, and

health and human development. Carolyn has international athletic experience so can help students trying to balance the commitments of their sport and education. She believes it is important to look at all aspects of each child; not only their intellectual wellbeing, but also their social, emotional and psychological development.

Take a trip down memory lane THE Collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heaven Fair later this month at Malvern Town Hall is a trip down memory lane, says organiser Aubrey Keyt of All Events Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to browse and buy collectables, memorabilia and nostalgia,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The event attracts collectors, enthusiasts and sellers from everywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old, new, rare or just hard to find, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find it. Grown-ups will find collecting the ideal way to rekindle memories of the past as they discover a lost childhood toy, like a teddy, doll or tin toy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can also be very rewarding, as collectables almost always increase in value over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Giving a collectable to a child may spark a lifelong interest in collecting that can be very rewarding and educational. It will encourage research, perseverance in tracking down elusive items and budgeting of pocket money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For people interested in home decorating or restoring period homes, this is the perfect place to find original, genuine items like china, porcelain, pottery, glassware, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;kitchenaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and other household items, with prices that are often comparable with mass-produced reproductions.â&#x20AC;? Mr Keyt said there would be lots of bargains, price reductions and sale items from the thousands of 20th century collectables, including vintage and collectable dolls, teddy bears and tin toys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be movie, music, sporting and science fiction memorabilia as well as personality autographs, comics, coins, stamps, die-cast mod-

els, Olympics souvenirs, militaria, toy soldiers, tools, Australiana, jewellery, advertising signs, books, swap and trade cards and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collectable, it probably will be for sale at the fair.â&#x20AC;? He said the one-stop, family-friendly event was staged indoors in both halls at the town hall and features about 60 well-known and diverse dealers from suburban Melbourne, country Victoria and some from other states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be a fun-filled day for the whole family to enjoy, with refreshments also available.â&#x20AC;? Collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heaven Fair is from 9am-3pm on Sunday 25 March at Malvern Town Hall, corner Glenferrie Rd and High St, Malvern. Entry costs adults $4, children and seniors $3, family ticket $12 (two adults and three children). Details 9568 8441 or visit the website www. eventsvic.com.au

Part of Bittern for 30 years BITTERN Market started with half a dozen stalls in the Bittern Hall about 30 ago. It now has 72 stalls and operates from Bittern railway station car park reserve on the other side of Frankston-Flinders Rd. One of the organisers, Peter Bryan, said it is a happy, friendly market that is dog friendly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people visit the market every Sunday while exercising their dogs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stalls sell a wide variety of items including new and used jewellery and bric-a-brac. There is also bread, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, nuts, plants and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food van and coffee stalls are popular places with many people having morning coffee and breakfast,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are small producers selling goods including fabulous Blue Bay cheese and fresh yoghurt, homemade cakes, local gum honey, fresh-

ly baked sourdough breads and free range eggs.â&#x20AC;? The market is managed by a volunteer committee with about 90 per cent of stall fees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than $300,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; going to local organisations including fire brigades, schools, kindergartens and sporting clubs. Of the 72 stalls, about 18 are casual stalls, which allows for a variety of new items to be introduced each week. New stallholders can contact market committee president Peter Bryan on 0417 337 375 for details. Community organisations seeking funds can obtain an application form from committee members or the market trailers.

‘Crossy’s Gig’ to benefit road safety THE tragic death of James Cross almost a year ago in a “dooring” incident led his mother and father – Nicky Martin and Michael Cross – to establish a charitable foundation to support road safety. “Crossy”, 22, was killed while cycling to Monash University on St Patrick’s Day. The inaugural Crossy’s Gig in 2011 at Morning Star Estate in Mt Eliza – where more than 1000 people celebrated his life and love of music – raised money for TRAG (Teenagers Road Accident Group) Dr Nicky Martin, a doctor in Mornington, said this year’s event would help “continue to raise awareness about the devastating consequences of road trauma with a focus on younger road users”. “It will also encourage the safe interface between drivers and cyclists. This will be a cycle

and family friendly event in conjunction with Bicycle Network Victoria.” The gig would “celebrate and encourage the development of emerging musical talent on the peninsula”. “James was a passionate musician, composer and lyricist,” she said. Crossy’s Gig is at The Briars Park, Nepean Highway, Mt Martha from noon-8pm on Sunday 18 March. Bands include Stonefield (pictured), Red Ink, Snowy Belfast, Le Fox, The Scarecrows and Roundhouse as well as DJs. There will be entertainment for children. Cost is $40 adult and $30 concession plus booking fees. Children under 12 are free of charge. Tickets: www.oztix.com.au

Nature artists talk about their travels ARTISTS with a fascination for nature at home and overseas are coming to Frankston’s Brialyn Boathouse Gallery. Experts will give talks and exhibit their works while budding artists are being invited to submit unframed drawings of animals. The professionals who will be at the gallery for an exhibition and talks have painted reptiles and animals and have offered an evening to share their artistic journey from Australia to wildlife areas overseas. Drawings by retired sheep farmer Chris McClelland have won prizes and praise throughout Australia and he will share his stories of art and African safaris at 7pm on Friday 9 March. Pete Marshall is a retired veterinary surgeon who travels in Australia and overseas to gather material for her artwork, especially subjects that are beautiful, often endangered, and sometimes dangerous. She will speak about her art at 7pm Thursday 15 March. Marshall has travelled to many conservation centres – Nagamba Island (chimpanzees); Bwindi’s forest (mountain gorillas); Uganda; Sepilok and Semengok in Malaysia (orangutans); the Canadian tundra (polar bears ); Bardia and

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Judging by taste, there’s just one snag SAUSAGE used to come in two flavours and two sizes – beef and pork, thick and thin – and were known as “mystery bags” or “bangers”. Times, and sausages, have changed. They are now made from many different meats, combined with vegetables and flavoured with aromatic herbs and spices. Sausages have taken their place on the menus of top restaurants and butchers pride themselves on their sausage-making skills. The evolution of the sausage is a feature at this year’s Red Hill Show on Saturday 24 March. The show society and Mornington Peninsula Gourmet are holding a competition to find the peninsula’s best sausage, according to the educated taste buds of judge Richard Cornish. The award-winning food writer grew up on the peninsula and is a features writer for The Age Epicure. His play Snagtastica about sausage-making was a hit for several years at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival. At Red Hill, professional chefs and butchers will join amateur cooks in the search for the seriously good snag. Their sausages will be cooked by the chef from Green Olive at Red Hill inside the MP Gourmet marquee. Creator of the winning sausage will march in the show’s grand parade. Entry forms are available from the show secretary on 5989 2357 or can be downloaded from www.redhillshow.org and must be lodged by Wednesday 14 March. The 84th Red Hill Show will be open 8.30am4.30pm on Saturday 24 March with free entry to the show jumping at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre in Rosebud on Saturday 31 March and Sunday 1 April.

Equine attraction: Diva the champion blue road Clydesdale mare is returning to this year’s Red Hill Show, but may have to take a back seat to a close relative. Last October Diva gave birth to filly Jada, who is set to be a star attraction at the show. Owners Ron and Mathy Hyder, of Moonrise Farm in Rye, will be on hand to answer questions about Clydesdales. The breed will compete in led, ridden and harness classes.

Music for wildlife THE annual RAW (Respect For Wildlife) family music festival is on Sunday 18 March at Morning Star Estate, Sunnyside Rd, Mornington. The event raises money for environmental, conservation and animal rights activities. A spokesman said it would be a family focused event with entertainment and interactive educational experiences. “There will be bands, drumming groups, roaming entertainers, handson animal experiences, face painting, rides, games, educational talks and more,” he said. “Raw will be a licensed event with alcohol-free areas for the children’s entertainment.” The festival would be run by volunteers, he said. Performers include Mat McHugh (of the Beautiful Girls), Jeff Lang, Dallas Frasca, Fireballs, Dream Boogie, Papa Chango, The Animators, Steve Approved, Josh Cashman, and Lash 78. Details: 0421 068 273, email info@ raw.org.au or visit www.raw.org.au

Manyung tour MORNINGTON and District Historical Society’s next coffee morning is a tour of Manyung YMCA Camp, Sunnyside Rd, Mt Eliza, at 10.30am on Tuesday 13 March. The camp is heritage listed and manager Barry Furness will give a talk on its history. Cost $5 a person. For details, including transport, call Val on 5975 2958.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Greetings, middle age By Stuart McCullough I AM, officially speaking, old. I know this because I got an email telling me so. Exactly one week before my birthday, I received a message from the professional body to which I belong. The email was nice and unfailing polite, but beneath its veneer of courtesy beat a heart of dark savagery.

satisfying. It was with this in mind that I wrote back:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Mr Stuart On behalf of the Institute, thank you for your loyal membership of the Young Member Section. As you are now an experienced professional, you are ready to take advantage of a range of other Institute products and services. This means you no longer qualify for Young Member status, which will change the communications and activities you currently receive and attend. How does this affect you? You will be removed from Young Member communications.â&#x20AC;? It was at this point that I stopped reading. To be evicted from the Young Member Section was an indignity almost too great to bear. Was there a vote? Did other members of the Young Members Section write my name down on a piece of parchment while sitting around a campfire? I certainly hope so. But in truth, the wheels of administration turn in a far less theatrical manner. While the decision was probably more routine than personal, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean I have to take a pronouncement of this kind

lying down, leaning against a door or even reclining in a chair. There comes a time when you should express your feelings in the

full and complete knowledge that it will make no difference whatsoever. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undignified and more than a little petulant, but boy, oh boy, is it

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Institute Next week, I turn 40. To date, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given little thought to this impending milestone. That is, until I received your email. That I can no longer be regarded as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Young Memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is the first tangible evidence I have that the march of time cannot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in spite of my best efforts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be halted. While I must now accept the inevitable, I suspect your email is simply the thin end of the wedge and I can expect to be omitted from anything featuring the word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The Young and the Restless will be strictly off-limits, to say nothing of Young Talent Time (that is unless they accept my proposal to establish a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mature-age entry schemeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;). It is clear that I will no longer be able to use terms like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dudeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;coolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and any text message using the acronym LOL will be simply unbecoming. In fact, text messages in their entirety are best avoided. On the plus side, however, I can now complain about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with absolute impunity. I plan to do so often, loudly and without apology. Perhaps Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken news of my disqualification poorly. But of all the impending delights that come with middle age â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weight gain, lethargy, hair growing in the ears â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was the fact that I can no longer be considered a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;young memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that arrived first.â&#x20AC;? Chances were my email would be dismissed as a middle-aged rant and

Joke!!! A man goes skydiving for the first time. After listening to the instructor for what seems like days, he is ready to go. Excited, he jumps out of the airplane. After a bit, he pulls the ripcord. Nothing happens. He tries again. Still nothing. He starts to panic, but remembers his back-up chute. He pulls that cord. Nothing happens. He frantically begins pulling both cords, but to no avail. Suddenly, he looks down and he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe his eyes. Another man is in the air with him, but this guy is going up! Just as the other guy passes by, the skydiver -- by this time scared out of his wits--yells, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, do you know anything about skydiving?â&#x20AC;? The other guy yells back, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?â&#x20AC;?

The most ridiculous and strange, fresh for you...

despatched with speed to the junk folder with the kicker that all my emails would in future be separated from the herd. There was, however, a response: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Stuart Many, many thanks for your email. We are happy to keep you on the mailing list for the Young Members Section for as long as you wish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if only to help to delay the passing of time. Otherwise on behalf of member services I wish you a very happy birthday and an enjoyable middle age!â&#x20AC;? I suppose that turning 40 is as good a time as any to officially draw the curtain on your youth even if, in truth, that rather unseaworthy vessel sailed some time ago and has been steadily taking water ever since. But it gets better. When the big day finally arrived, there was a card from the institute wishing me a happy 40th birthday. It was, in a funny kind of way, an extremely sweet thing to do and I was touched. While everybody yearns to be treated as an individual, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re each prone to forgetting thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what we are. Sometimes the reminder comes from the most surprising quarters. Then again, surprises are what birthdays are all about. That they accepted my email in the spirit in which it was intended was, as it turns out, more a gift to me than to them. And I am, without doubt, most grateful. Happy birthday to me. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance A NEW era of music excitement came over me on Friday 2 March when my old music companion 3MP came through the car stereo. Troubled talk radio station MTR had come to a grinding halt at 5pm and former Frankston-based 3MP had come out of hibernation; although it is on a digital radio channel. MTR had a flashy launch with names like Steve Price, Sam Newman, Jason Akermanis and Andrew Bolt, but while they had a star-studded onair team, the weak signal in parts of Melbourne was a setback. In the end MTR didn’t move above 2 per cent audience share, although Steve Price approached 3 per cent. MTR was never able to challenge commercial talk station leader 3AW. MTR was taking some programs from Sydney, and this was never going to work. I contacted Steve Price prior to MTR’s launch suggesting he needed a good lead-in to his breakfast show with a local, live midnight to dawn show. The suggestion was based on a bit of experience – I presented midnightdawn shifts at 3UZ, 3AK and SEN after stints doing breakfast on 3CV, drive 3CS, weekends 3GL and nights

at 4BU. 3MP was born in the Bayside shopping centre in Frankston in 1976, ‘MP’ standing for Mornington Peninsula. Announcers included Shawn Cosgrove, Steve Meechan, Dean Matters, Keith McGowan, Mark Irvine and Jane Holmes. Former MIX FM program director Mark Johnson joined 3MP/SEN as joint program director and lifted the easy listening format to a more modern, contemporary format. On Friday night, driving to and from my favourite Mt Eliza restaurant, 3MP was blasting through the car stereo.

Deborah and I were singing along to Simon and Garfunkel, Steve Winwood, The Monkees, Hot Chocolate, Gerry Rafferty and others. For many years Brisbane AM music station 4KQ Classic Hits has drawn a healthy constant ratings of about 7 per cent. There’s no reason Pacific Star Network, joint owner of MTR, can’t consider relaunching 3MP with a new team. Surely they can only improve on the doleful ratings of MTR. Welcome back 3MP. www.3mp.com.au *** JIM Keays formed the Masters Apprentices, originally called the Mustangs, in Adelaide in the mid-Sixties before heading to Melbourne in 1966 where the band signed a recording contract with Astor Records and released its first hit Undecided. I caught up with Jim Keays recently while he was flying across the country to promote his new solo album Dirty Dirty (Shock). “By the time we recorded Undecided we knew we had something going for us. We’d built up quite a live following. While Undecided was a big hit, band members preferred Wars or

Hands of Time,” Keays said. It was the start of a journey that saw more than 10 Top 40 hits. Recently Jim’s close friend Ted Lethborg compiled a heap of obscure garage punk/psycho pop songs and brought them to Jim. “I thought the idea was a bit silly and thought people would say it is unusual for me to do this type of project. “But it was fun going back to my musical roots and attempting to capture the first flush of excitement that I felt back then when we practised in a garage.” The new album, recorded at the Hot House St Kilda, has produced the single Whisky Woman. Other tracks include Midnight Bus, Time Has Come Today, Save My Soul, and Mystic Eyes, and early reports have the album selling very well. “I didn’t want to record Midnight Bus, but other people said put it on the album.” Due to health issues with myeloma cancer, Jim is unable to perform live gigs but insists he will do a showcase gig for the official album launch. “If I could perform live I would, but my ongoing treatment with various drugs and bone marrow takes its toll on my energy levels.”

males than females, truly believe themselves to know all the answers? Where does this conceit come from? Worse, and consistently, they arrive at this conclusion when they are barely halfway through living a life. Believe me, you need longer. Even the younger ones, a couple and a newly arrived baby, suddenly know all the answers? Worse are the many after completing a university degree on any subject, including medicine; even psychology for goodness sake? Presto, their wisdom extends to all areas. “Be not wise in thine own eyes” – King Solomon. *** According to my “bible” (News for Seniors) I can earn $3000 plus a year without affecting my pension, which is about my yearly beer expenditure give or take a thousand depending on the company. Perhaps I should be thinking outside the square, or is it the circle? What jobs are on offer that were not on offer in my day; 1943? Aha! A counsellor? Everybody needs counselling it seems. “The provision of financial counselling is critical in helping people to understand their options and in helping them to get back on their feet.” I could do a course of study for 12 months resulting in a Diploma of

Counselling. But wait, they’re not all in work, so there would be a preferential, “who you know” operating system. And, I’m not a female. Yes, I’ll drink water; that or stop smoking. *** BACK to Foxtel sport for six months until Collingwood’s last match of 2012. There may well be no commercials during playing time, but how to cope with football experts (ex-players?) during and between quarters? They all talk too much but, please, don’t let Dermott call the Collingwood games. His supposed insights are boring, nice bloke though he may be. Then there’s AFL 360 four nights a week with self-righteous Gerard Whateley (he would say insightful?) and Herald Sun Essendon publicist Mark Robinson. One night was difficult enough but four? Thankfully there’s On The Couch to balance out most of the rubbish; also After The Bounce, which is worse than AFL 360 and League Teams (but no Brian Taylor) before the season proper starts. The only real value for the extra $96 is seeing a match without the commercials after every goal. Go Nathan. *** THE secret is out. It began in earnest about 10 years ago and has gradually

become more and more known. Our Mornington Peninsula is the place to be, particularly after a visit to Melbourne’s world of chaos. There’s still much to be done however, like upgrading public transport, better internet access and the establishment of a swimming pool complex across the road from the Rye Hotel. It’s obvious the train line should be extended from Frankston to Mornington, the bus service at least doubled and a solution to the Point Nepean Rd bottleneck between Rosebud and Rye. Internet access, a lifeline for many, should be demanded. The swimming pool? Well, we live in hope as always. Perhaps a move to the Western Port side of the peninsula; more peace, serenity, fewer dreadfully designed new units going up in any vacant space. If the carnival remains I suggest the Truemans Rd tip as the spot to set it up. *** TED’S big pre-election promise: the establishment of a broad-based anticorruption commission by July 2010 giving new powers to investigate everyone except politicians. No? Politicians are included? It’s all so amusing.

By Gary Turner Jim’s solo album Boy From the Stars (EMI) remains one of my favourites and I was at Dallas Brooks Hall in 1974 for the visually spectacular launch and witnessed the amazing production at Sunbury. Players on Dirty Dirty are Davey Lane (guitar, vocals), Ted Lethborg (bass, vocals), Brett Wolfenden (drums, vocals) and Jim Keays (vocals, harmonica). Guests include Dan Mansfield (organ) and Craig Harnath (maracas). It was mastered by Gil Matthews and produced by Ted Lethbord. www.jimkeays.com *** SHOCK Records has given The News copies of Dirty Dirty to give away. To win one, write your name and address on the back of an envelope and tell us what 1970s Masters Apprentices song was re-recorded and hit the Top 10 again. Send to Jim Keays CD Contest, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915.

A Grain of Salt THE following information is easily available, but due to the consistent knowledge (?) I receive from people who claim to know the truth, I’ll restate it here: asylum seekers do not have automatic access to Centrelink payments, or get a health card, or automatic emergency relief services, or job services or public housing. For every 1000 people, we have one refugee seeking (by right) asylum and in most cases because leaving was a matter of life and death. Yes, there is a resource centre to help these displaced people, and so there should be. *** SO Magda has “come out” of the closet, or the wardrobe, or wherever. Good for Magda, but why is it such big news? The lady is an actress and, believe me, sexual preferences are a non-event in the arty farty world of the “arts”, as they should be. If it was an AFL footballer coming out – wow! And when he ran onto the field we would see and hear first-hand the ratbags of the world “coming out” as ratbags. If the AFL vilification laws are in full force, we may require all of Premier Baillieu’s 940 new Protective Service Officers on hand to evict the many minuscule minds. Go Magda. *** WHY do so many people, more

TheTSober Mule PENINSULA Café

By Cliff Ellen Even those who rely on that smaller daily newspaper for their political knowledge know it’s double Dutch, like Ted’s poker machines promises. A showpiece of the perfect mirage. How can Premier Ted lament job losses while announcing the probable sacking of 3600 public servants? Then again, he hasn’t sacked the underpaid nurses yet. *** Politics explained: Next Tuesday, which you know is Monday, there’ll be a mothers’ meeting for fathers only. Admission free, pay at the door, bring your own seat and sit on the floor. There’ll be real live monkeys stuffed with straw. And men eating cooked potatoes raw. Mzzz Melody reigns, for now.

Making a splash: Mornington Yacht Club rear commodore Graham Alexander, left, Fly By Night skipper Richard Trembath and David and Karen Pedley of Splash of Red.

Flying 15s win in twilight THE first two places in the Mornington Yacht Club’s twilight sailing competition were taken out by Flying Fifteens. Alan Smith’s ffreedom and Richard Trembath’s Fly By Night were first and second respectively. The second of the popular twilight series was sponsored by Splash of Red hair salon, owned by Karen and David Pedley. Mr Pedley is president of Mornington Chamber of Commerce. Club rear commodore Graham Alexander said the highly competitive racing consisted of three series events.

“Each series was run on a Thursday evening over seven weeks,” he said. “About 60 boats and up to 180 sailors took to the water each week in an array of vessels. Members and visitors competed for trophies, cash vouchers, prizes and, most of all, bragging rights among fellow sailors. “Back at the clubhouse, the barbecue provides an inviting smell as members and friends gather on the club deck to watch the race and soak up the twilight atmosphere.”
