Light winds and clear blue skies greeted this family from Eltham. More Alexandra Dellaportas pictures on Page 33.

Skylift wants shire land By Mike Hast REPLACEMENT of trees and bush cleared for the proposed $14 million Arthurs Seat chairlift gondola could come from three nearby shire reserves, says gondola chairlift spokesman Simon McKeon. Mr McKeon, one of four shareholders of Arthurs Seat Skylift Pty Ltd, revealed the “native vegetation offset” plan at a public meeting last week organised by the Association for Building Community in Dromana. It was the first public meeting since

Mornington Peninsula Shire put Skylift’s plans on display for public comment. Mr McKeon said 55 hectares of “shire-controlled” land had been identified by shire and Parks Victoria officers as a suitable vegetation offset for clearing at the bottom station, the 14-16 metre wide gondola corridor up Arthurs Seat, and the top station with its 100-seat cafe. He said the land would be transferred from shire ownership to Parks Victoria and be included in Arthurs Seat State Park.

Later in the week, the shire’s manager of statutory planning, Angela Hughes, told The News the “potential transfer of shire-controlled land into Arthurs Seat State Park has been raised as one potential option to achieve the native vegetation offset required by this proposed development”. She said this would have the benefit of “keeping the offset in our community and may provide a higher degree of protection for the land”. The 55ha (140 acres) was given to the Shire of Flinders in 1974 when a developer subdivided land west of

Purves Rd between Seamists Drive and Waterfall Gully Rd. The land is zoned green wedge and would unlikely ever be rezoned for homes but Lot 15 in the subdivision sold for $1 million three years ago. This would make the 55ha worth at least $8.8 million if it ever came on the open market. Asked about its value, Ms Hughes said the council “would have to follow a statutory process to consider the potential ownership of this land, which may include putting a nominal value on [it]”.

At the ABCD meeting, Mr McKeon told more than 130 people the project would revitalise the state park, create an internationally recognised attraction, and boost the peninsula’s economy through tourism and employment. The fully enclosed 40 gondolas carrying up to eight people each would run all year round and could operate at night, he said. Mr McKeon’s presentation covered vegetation removal, bushfire, noise, traffic, visual impact and parking. Continued Page 12

Visitors avoid Heronswood after January fire By Mike Hast VISITORS are staying away from Dromana’s historic property Heronswood and its Diggers Club following the fire that destroyed the property’s thatched roof cafe on 14 January and threatened nearby homes. Heronswood erected a semi-permanent marquee to replace the cafe and only about 7 per cent of the gardens sustained fire damage, but visitor numbers have plummeted. But there is a silver lining as it is hoped Heronswood’s annual harvest festival on 15 and 16 March will kickstart visitations. Diggers Club education manager Talei Kenyon said the lack of visitors had been “incredibly hard for staff morale� and was “having a devastating effect on income at a time of year when everyone on the peninsula hopes to be busy�. “It is so hard to fathom why this is happening as, apart from losing the building, the rest of the garden looks magnificent and is untouched. At our pop-up cafe with fabulous views of Port Phillip, visitors are able to dine on the pool lawn, which was previously a private part of the garden,� she said. Police and CFA officers said the fire that started in the bushy median strip between lanes of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway near Latrobe Parade overpass was deliberately lit. A CFA spokesman said there were at least two ignition points that started the blaze at about 5.45pm, the first day of a four-day heatwave over 41 degrees, the hottest spell for more than

100 years. With a strong southerly wind blowing, the fire quickly jumped the freeway and burnt through bushland, setting alight an area known as Wonga Gully between the freeway and Point Nepean Rd. Heronswood’s cafe with its thatched roof, built in 1996, came under em-

ber attack, caught fire and burnt to the ground despite the efforts of ground crews and a waterbombing helicopter. Fireys saved the 1870s picturesque neo-Gothic house and its ornamental gardens as well as all homes in the precinct. A kitchen garden near the cafe was

severely damaged and a 140-year-old Moreton Bay fig tree had 30 per cent of its canopy singed but it protected the house from the fire. Ms Kenyon said the harvest festival would include free gardening workshops and “tours of the magnificent garden on both Saturday and Sunday

lead by gardening expertsâ€?. “Heronswood House will be open to the public giving a rare opportunity for visitors to see through the historic house, designed by Edward Latrobe Bateman in the mid-1860s and is listed on the register of National Estate.â€? The $3 entry to the house will be collected by Friends of Lospalos to support work in East Timor. Activities for children will include alpacas, chooks, storytelling and face painting. There will be an heirloom tomatoes taste test; the garden shop; peninsula producers selling wines, olives, sweet treats and herbs; a barbecue at the marquee cafe as well as peninsula wine, beer, coffee and cakes. Ms Kenyon said the gardens “are wearing their summer best with brightly coloured perennial borders in flower, lush parterre vegetable gardens, espaliered fruit trees, and huge trees providing plenty of shade over expansive lawnsâ€?. ď Ž Heronswood Harvest Festival, 9am-5pm Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 March, 105 Latrobe Parade, Dromana.

Peninsula winemakers’ low grape expectations By Mike Hast and Keith Platt MORNINGTON Peninsula grape growers are facing the worst harvest in many years after unseasonal wet, cold and windy weather ruined pollination late last year. Veteran winemaker Nat White of Main Ridge Estate in Red Hill says he is facing the worst harvest in 39 years but there is a silver lining. “The peninsula is regarded as a marginal climate for growing grapes but the conditions allow us to produce some of the best wines in Australia,� he said. Mr White, regarded as the doyen of modern era peninsula vintners, compared the peninsula with Burgundy in France, also in a marginal climate but famous for its good wine.

Yabby Lake vineyard manager Keith Harris agrees: “It will be a low crop not a bad crop.� He said poor flowering conditions in November and December had been followed by four scorching days in mid-January when temperatures in the region topped 41 degrees. “After the cold weather, we expected to see a reduction in pinot noir of 40 per cent but, after the heatwave, revised this to 50 per cent.� Vineyards facing west had been worst affected, he said. The Yabby Lake chardonnay harvest was expected to be close to average as the grapes had flowered after the cold weather. Mr White said the peninsula’s low pollination rate, where nothing flowered for 3-4 weeks, also occurred in the Yarra Valley and at Coonawarra in SA.

He said yields on the peninsula would vary widely as some plants had flowered either side of the cold weather. “Some of the smaller vineyards have not bothered erecting their nets as it is not worthwhile,� he said. “They won’t be needing pickers this year.� Some vintners had removed fewer leaves than usual, keeping them to protect ripening grapes from the hot sun. Vineyards with grapes in rows running east-west had done best, he said. Retaining leaves to protect grapes had occurred more widely on the peninsula since the brutal hot weather of 2009 when Black Saturday fires devastated the state. Mr White said bunch selection would be crucial this year. Picking would start at Main Ridge Estate at the end of

March. “It will be a quick pick and we won’t need as many people,� he said. Harvesting has started in the lower parts of the peninsula such as Balnarring, Merricks, Dromana and Moorooduc. About 40 workers started picking at Yabby Lake’s Tuerong vineyard two weeks ago, Mr Harris said. “We still have to pick every acre so there will be no loss of work.� “Fruit for 2015 forms on the vines at the same time as this year’s grapes so next year could be light as well.� Mr Harris said vintners had to accept the good and bad years. “We had good vintages in 2010, 2012 and 2013 with our 2012 pinot noir the first of the variety to win the Jimmy Watson trophy,� he said.

At Hickinbotham in Dromana, vineyard manager and assistant winemaker Jaimie Janda in mid-January was bending vine leaves over this year’s pinot crop to protect the young grapes from the scorching sun. He’s confident most of the fruit will pull through, but the losses evident by scorched grapes on the vine may cut production. The thicker skins of shiraz, cabernet and merlot welcome the heat, a result shown by the winery winning gold medals for its 2010 merlot at the Melbourne Wine Show and 2012 shiraz at the Great Australian Shiraz Challenge. Mr White said members submitted returns to MP Vignerons Association in June and this would reveal the full extent of the harvest.

Portsea sand ‘could come from Fox beach’ By Mike Hast THE state government might pump sand that has migrated to Shelly Beach and Point King back to Portsea Beach, says Nepean Ratepayers Association president Colin Watson. Mr Watson has weighed in to the debate over billionaire trucking magnate Lindsay Fox being granted an extra 45 metres of prime beach in front of his property worth an estimated $5 million by the state land titles office on Christmas Eve (“Fox in box seat to win”, The News, 25/2/14). The news generated a wave of public criticism and saw Planning Minister Matthew Guy vow to bring in retrospective laws to stop up to 140 bayside properties being extended onto beaches that have seen sand accumulate. Mr Watson said it was hard to believe Mr Fox was trying to benefit from the “environmental disaster” of Portsea Beach’s sand being swept east by wave conditions created after the dredging of The Heads and the South Channel by the Port of Melbourne Corporation in 2008 and 2009. Mr Watson has been lobbying the state’s Department of Environment and Primary Industries to carry out scientific wave monitoring of the ocean swell pounding Portsea’s beach.

“We would like to put Mr Fox on notice that after the latest wave modelling is completed, we are fairly optimistic that a solution to change this wave pattern will be found,” he said. “There is every chance the authorities will actually pump all the sand that has migrated from Portsea to Shelly Beach and Point King back to Portsea where it rightly belongs.” Mr Watson said Mr Fox would be well aware the township of Portsea had been devastated by the change in wave patterns and the subsequent loss of the beach over the past five years. “The few remaining businesses are struggling financially and the place is a ghost town. The iconic beach was used by locals and, more particularly, thousands of visitors over the summer months but they don’t come anymore.” Mr Fox, who had a “wonderful reputation as a great corporate citizen”, should be offering all his resources to assist the Nepean Ratepayers Association to lobby the government to conduct wave modelling, come up with a way of diverting the wave pattern, remove the sandbags installed in 2009, and replenish Portsea Beach, Mr Watson said. A report by consultants Water Technology and a CSIRO review of all re-

Sands of time: Point King Beach showing how much sand has washed onto the beach since dredging of The Heads and the South Channel in 2008-09.

ports before and after dredging showed the change in local wave conditions was the likely cause of erosion at Portsea. “Water Technology noted that the increase in significant wave height corresponds to a 15-20 per cent increase in wave energy, which is proportional to wave height squared,” Mr Watson said. Last week Mr Fox told radio station 3AW he had not taken anything off anybody and had simply “put a marker

on the piece of property that is on our title”. He hinted at defending in the High Court the land title office decision and the state government’s plan to legislate to stop bayside properties being extended due to so-called sand accretion. He said the high tide water mark title was issued in 1872 and reconfirmed by the owners of the property in 1910. Last month, The News reported that an obscure state government policy

known as the “doctrine of accretion” states any land claimed by a person must be a permanent increase. Since 2009, when Portsea Beach started to vanish, recently retired Port of Melbourne CEO Stephen Bradford has consistently said the sand at Portsea would return over time, and that Port Phillip’s beaches were dynamic environments with sand coming and going.

Gondola plans ignore our vibrant community OPINION By Matt Bisogni, Emma Jensen and Charlie Owen A GRAND piece of natural history, a centrepoint of the Mornington Peninsula landscape, is at risk of being irreversibly damaged. One of the last great natural areas on the outskirts of Melbourne will be turned into an industrial and commercial hub if the gondola chairlift proposed by Arthurs Seat Skylift is approved by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council. Imagine Chadstone on Arthurs Seat. The proposal, long in the planning, will essentially remove free public access to the summit in favour of a European-style ski lift with gondolas, a 100-seat cafe at the summit and extensions to the footprint of the bottom station. Perhaps the greatest issue is that the plans fail to acknowledge the vibrant, permanent community that lives all year round at the summit and makes no provisions for any form of compensation or benefit to this small but

substantial community. This is a plan that will use public land for private profit. The major issues related to this include but are not limited to: Plans  Plans for the project are not complete but – despite missing reports, draft reports and reports not yet accepted by the CFA – the permit is being advertised for public comment. This would be unimaginable for a domestic planning permit. Missing or incomplete reports include the CFA fire plan and evacuation approval, an engineering report that would include drainage requirements, and the ecology report.  There is no firm indication of who will build the chairlift nor the location of the pylons, and yet we are being asked to assess the impact of the project and how it will affect us for a minimum of 50 years. Fire  The Skylift application claims the project would not be affected by radiant heat or flames, despite Arthurs

Seat being in the top five fire-prone areas in the state.  Skylift claims it will be able to evacuate up to 320 people on the gondolas in less than 7 minutes.  The top station blocks fire access roads that would be used by residents and the CFA in the case of a fire.  Gondolas cannot be designed or constructed to a BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) construction standard that would provide safe shelter for occupants in the event of a bushfire. Traffic and parking  Visitor projections comprehensively underestimate anticipated visitor numbers.  Despite this, projections of an increase in visitors to Arthurs Seat of 159,000 people a year are projected with no changes to traffic management, speed limits or flow planned, except one raised walkway and limited pedestrian islands.  Areas of beautiful lawn in Seawinds Gardens have been marked for conversion to “overflow parking”. This will become permanent park-

ing if the project goes ahead and will ruin the lawn area forever as well as disturb the natural peace and tranquillity of the gardens, and "evict" the kangaroo population in the gardens.  Dromana cemetery will be used to access reclaimed green land for a car park.  The plans ignore the disruption to local schools bus routes, particularly the afternoon drop-off zone in the existing car park off Purves Rd near the summit, which could become too dangerous to use.  Indeed there is no mention of children at all in the whole planning application. Vegetation offset  An area of 3 hectares is to be cleared for the project, which does not include potential additional clearing to meet fire regulations.  The offset for this clearing is a generous “gift” from the shire of 55 hectares of nearby land to Skylift, which will be managed by Parks Victoria. However, as this is already wooded and essentially wild, there is

actually a net loss of 3ha of trees to the region and the people of Melbourne. Cultural significance  The summit of Arthurs Seat is long acknowledged as an important cleansing place for local Aboriginal people. There have been extensive archaeological discoveries on the summit during recent investigative digs. Noise assessment  The Skylift application fails to acknowledge houses directly impacted by noise.  It noise report fails to name the builders of the gondola chairlift and so it is impossible to check the accuracy of noise claims. Despite alternative options for the site that would enhance the region not dominate it, we feel this proposal is being force fed to us. Should it go ahead, the very heart and soul of the region and an area of unparalleled beauty will be lost forever. Save Arthurs Seat.  The writers are members of Friends of Arthurs Seat.

By Chris Brennan MORNINGTON Peninsula social service organisations warn women and children will be put at greater risk of harm unless federal and state governments funding for domestic violence and homelessness support services are secured in the near future. Mornington Community Information and Support Service manager Lisa Elliott said that with government funding commitments under the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness due to run out at the end of June, it was vital ongoing funding was secured if woman and children were to continue to be protected. “There’s a lot of fear out there among support service providers that we are facing some hefty cuts, which is going to hit our clients first and foremost, and they are our most vulnerable members of the community,� she said. “Rumours have been circulating suggesting figures of 30 per cent in funding cuts, and this is really going to hurt our ability to support the community, particularly women and children who always seem to bear the brunt of funding cuts. “And it’s not only the cuts to family support services’ budgets that is concerning. There’s also a lot of fear that family payments are being wound back, and in the case of the School Kids Bonus and Education Maintenance Allowance, they’re certain to be

too often women and their children risk losing their housing, their employment, and their connection to schools and local communities following family violence. In light of recent events in Victoria, it is critical we don’t lose the aspects of our system that are working well.� ACOSS chief executive Cassandra Goldie urged the state and federal governments not to use the expiration of funding contracts on 30 June to deliver budget savings. “Whether this is intended or not is unknown,� she said. “However, in the absence of new contracts being put in place, services are understandably concerned. Services and payments to support vulnerable and low income people should not be in the firing line in search of a budget surplus.� Council to Homeless Persons CEO Jenny Smith warned hundreds of homelessness programs were at risk, among them family violence programs, and thousands of jobs could be axed from a predominantly female workforce. “Ripping funding from homelessness services will result in more homelessness with women and children sleeping in their cars, in rooming houses and couch hopping,� she said. “As well as an increase in homelessness, we will also see thousands of workers in this sector lose their jobs.�

axed, so families are going to be doing it tough.� Ms Elliott’s concerns were echoed during a meeting last week of representatives from peak bodies and service providers that discussed the critical nature of family violence services in providing accommodation, preventing homelessness and offering essential practical, economic, psychological and legal support to at-risk and vulnerable women. Among the organisations attending last week’s crisis week were Domestic Violence Victoria, the peak body for Victorian family violence services, Australian Council of Social Service, the Council to Homeless Persons, Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service, WRISC Family Violence Support, and McAuley Community Services. The chief executives of the organisations called on state and federal governments to guarantee funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness (NPAH). “Family violence is the main driver of homelessness in Victoria and the programs funded through NPAH are critical to keeping hundreds of women and children safe, and preventing them from becoming homeless when they leave violent relationships,� Domestic Violence Victoria chief executive Fiona McCormack said. “The programs address the fact that

Teens wanted over ‘rampage’ By Chris Brennan POLICE have turned to the public in an attempt to identify two teenagers alleged to have caused tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage by smashing shop windows in Rosebud. The two teens are believed to be responsible for smashing the windows of five businesses between 9.20-10pm on Tuesday 28 January – the first day of the new school year. The damaged shops were on the corner of Point Nepean Rd and McDowell St. The pair was also believed to be responsible for damaging a vending machine inside a shop on Point Nepean Rd on the same evening. Police last week released CCTV images of the teens believed to be involved, above, and asked members of the public who might be able to help identify them to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 (quote reference number CA 7223).

The appeal for public assistance came as the state government released new figures showing calls to Crime Stoppers increased 9.3 per cent last year, resulting in a record 1115 arrests, and a 30 per cent rise in the total number of charges laid. The figures show information provided to Crime Stoppers in 2013 resulted in the seizure of more than $19.5 million in drugs along with nearly $540,000 in cash, while property worth more than $876,000 was also recovered. Minister for Police and Emergency Services Kim Wells said Crime Stoppers was a key partner in Victoria’s crime-fighting effort, with the community acting as the eyes and ears of the program. “This program has been helping police catch criminals for more than 25 years and the latest figures are testament to the effectiveness of the program, which is a fantastic result for the Victorian community.”

By Loretta Lloyd SINGER–songwriter and pagan priestess Wendy Rule came to the Mornington Peninsula in an old van with the hope of finding a natural haven that would inspire her to write and record her 13th album, Black Snake. Rule’s need to be close to nature and create new music was “perfectly matched” when she arrived a year ago. After two years of overseas touring with manic schedules and living out of suitcases, she was desperate for a homely space. She says paying respect to Mother Nature is an integral part of her “being, beliefs and music”. Once on the peninsula, Rule joined a gym and the library provided her with a “delightful” sense of community. A year on, Rule says she feels reinvigorated, ready for another overseas tour and to promote her latest album. Much of it was written while “exploring” driftwood emerging from sandy beaches, bird gazing by mangroves or solitary walks through bush reserves in Western Port. Black Snake is an album about transformation and, without expecting so, Rule has found it has led to personal transformation, “shedding her skin” and giving away most of her possessions collected over decades of living in Melbourne. She has been inspired to live simpler, “more of a country lifestyle”. “I hadn’t been part of a full winter in a decade and it was just marvellous to take the time to watch the subtle changes in flora, from autumn to winter with places like Lorna’s Triangle [bushland reserve at Bittern] as the backdrop,” Rule said. Her daily walk there was a spiritual ritual: “I see it as a walking meditation, when I can be close to nature like that. “It has been the most beloved and blessed period of creating, I can’t hold back my joy. It [her new album] is an ode to nature and human nature; our need to honour the cycles of life and

Free access to views that money can buy WHILE debate rages over trucking magnate Lindsay Fox’s right to part of a Portsea beach, owners of other multi-million dollar properties nearby have no option but to tolerate close public scrutiny of their homes. The Millionaires’ Walk, part of the Sorrento-Portsea Artists Trail that runs along the cliff top from Lentell Ave to Point King Rd, provides unobstructed water views in one direction and the lifestyles of the rich (and possibly famous) in the other. This part of the trail follows a longstanding easement, although there are gates at both the eastern and western ends of the trail. It ends at Point King, which overlooks the Fox family compound and forms part of the boundary between Portsea and Sorrento. Walkers on the trail are treated to views of carefully nurtured lawns and gardens, and glimpses into homes that most can only dream about. Point King is where in 1802 Acting Lieutenant John King, commander of the Lady Nelson, hoisted the Union Jack and took possession of what was to become Port Phillip. The signposted artists’ trail also runs along sections of Sorrento and Portsea ocean beaches. The signs contain an image of a painting of the scene visible from that spot. The Millionaires’ Walk section includes signs depicting Ray Hodgkinson’s View from Munstead Wood, Sir Arthur Streeton’s Point King, Arthur Boyd’s Laycock’s Jetty and Sir Arthur Streeton’s Sorrento from Point King.

Critics wage war on Green Army By Chris Brennan UNEMPLOYED young people from the Mornington Peninsula will soon be able to apply to join the federal government’s Green Army environmental training scheme but they will be paid well below the minimum award wage, the details of legislation recently tabled in federal parliament reveals. The peninsula will be among the first areas in Australia to benefit from the federal government’s $300 million scheme, with four projects set to begin on 1 July. A further five projects will begin at the same time in the Western Port region. The country’s first 250 Green Army projects will begin this year, involving about 2500 people undertaking on-the-ground environmental activities before the scheme is expanded to become Australia’s largest-ever environmental workforce, with 15,000 participants engaged in 1500 projects by 2018. Each project will involve nine trainees and one team leader who will work up to 30 hours a week over a 20- to 26-week training period. The scheme is open to people aged 17-24 who will receive between $608.40 and $987 a fortnight, depending on their age and educational level. Responding to criticism that the allowance approved for trainees would be below award wages, Environment Minister and Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the scheme was intended as a job creation scheme. “The Green Army is a voluntary environmental and training program, not an employment program,” he said. “The pay will be commensurate to the national training wage. It ranges between $608.40 and $987 a fortnight, depending on a participant’s age and educational level. “It is substantially higher than Newstart, which

ranges between $452.30 and $699.90 a fortnight, or Youth Allowance, which ranges between $226.80 and $699.90 a fortnight.” But Australian Council of Trade Unions president Ged Kearney said the government should not be paying rates below the minimum wage and participants should be protected by national workplace laws. “This whole concept of the Green Army is the latest attempt by the Abbott government to cut wages [and] cut conditions of working people in this country,” she said. Australian Greens deputy leader Adam Bandt said it was concerning that Green Army workers would be exempt from commonwealth workplace laws, including the Work Health and Safety Act, the Fair Work Act and the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act. Mr Hunt said the government would soon open a tender process for service providers to “engage Green Army teams and supervisors, manage activities to ensure projects are completed safely, and report regularly on progress”. The Mornington Peninsula Green Army project will have four main strands: Mt Martha-Balcombe Creek Nature Trail habitat enhancement, southern peninsula foreshore and creek rejuvenation, Red Hill South biolink and community reserve creation, and a peninsula-wide “war on weeds”. The projects will be carried out in conjunction with Mornington Peninsula and Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Balcombe Estuary Rehabilitation Group, Red Hill Community Action and peninsula Landcare groups.

Continued from Page 1 Simon McKeon said reports covering these topics had been submitted with the planning application, which was available on the shire’s website. But a flora and fauna assessment had been delayed due to changes in state government rules and would be submitted to the shire in about 10 days. Angela Hughes said the chairlift planning application had been received in November 2013 but the shire had asked for additional information on 19 December. “All of the requested information was received by council by 7 February 2014, except for the revised flora and fauna assessment”. She said the assessment had been delayed “due to recent changes to the planning framework for the assessment of native vegetation offset provisions in the planning scheme”. Mr McKeon said Skylift’s architect James McGann had redesigned the top and bottom stations so they had a reduced visual impact from those shown in May 2011. Skylift CEO Hans Brugman had been “engaged with the CFA” since 2008, before Black Saturday and the subsequent royal commission, and the

company was focused on fire safety. Skylift consultants had estimated the gondola chairlift would attract 159,000 people a year but Mr McKeon said it was not in their interests to have people queueing or turned away. The company would concentrate on promoting “mid-term and midweek” rides. Mr Brugman confirmed previous statements made by Mr McKeon that the ride could be evacuated in 7 minutes in the event of bushfire. “The gondolas will move at 1 metre a second for the 20-minute one-way trip but top speed is 3 metres a second,” he said. Gondolas detach from the cable at the top station and take 2 minutes to move through the station. Mr McKeon and Mr Brugman answered some tough questions from the audience, many of whom were skeptical of the proposal. The group Friends of Arthurs Seat appears to be the main opposition. Consisting mainly of Arthurs Seat residents, the group says Arthurs Seat is “a grand piece of natural history and is at risk of being irreversibly damaged” by being “turned into an industrial and commercial hub”.  See “Gondola plans ignore our vibrant community” on Page 5.

Cashed up: Nepean MP Martin Dixon, Peninsula Health’s mental health division operations director Bronwyn Lawman, and Rosebud Hospital operations director Alison Watts outside Bayview House in the grounds of Rosebud Hospital.

Funding boost for mental health A STATE government grant of $485,250 will enable Rosebud Hospital to improve its mental health services centre in the grounds of the hospital in Rosebud West. The money was announced on Friday by local state MP Martin Dixon. He said the grant would allow Peninsula Health, operator of the hospital, to expand its existing services for mental health, and alcohol and drug teams at Bayview House, a two-storey building that once housed doctors and nurses. Bayview House would have a larger waiting room with a bigger entrance and improved security, he said. “This will greatly enhance mental health

service delivery for the area,� Mr Dixon said. Peninsula Health’s mental health division operations director Bronwyn Lawman said improved staff and kitchen areas would enable carers to run groups, “which will further assist us to better serve our clients�. “The works will improve safety for consumers, carers and staff, and open up the space to improve the utility of the site as well as delivery of services,� Ms Lawman said. Peninsula Health is one of 12 organisations to be awarded a grant as part of $2.5 million in state government funding to enhance mental health services.

War of words over servos By Mike Hast A WAR of words has broken out between state Planning Minister Matthew Guy and Mornington Peninsula Shire Council over the proposed Peninsula Link freeway twin service centres at Baxter. The council has complained about Mr Guy approving the servos without input from the council but Mr Guy says he wrote to the council on 31 August last year and received no reply. Mr Guy approved the scaled-down version of the so-called freeway service centres (FSC) in February, just days before the council discussed the matter at its 24 February meeting. The original proposal was knocked back by the council in December 2011. Councillors said at the time it would impinge on the green wedge zone, was a “commercial development of excessive scale within the green wedge”, the design and location of the development failed to adequately protect the landscape and environmental values of the Moorooduc flood plain, and it would “have an adverse impact on the amenity of the area with regard to noise, light and visual bulk”. Proponent AA Holdings, which builds freeway service centres under the BP brand, went to the state planning tribunal in June 2012 seeking to have the decision overturned, but the tribunal agreed with the shire. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal said key reasons for the refusal included insufficient traffic to justify the twin servos, loss of green wedge farmland, and the project’s potential impact on breeding grounds of the threatened dwarf galaxia native fish. VCAT members Rachel Naylor and Greg Sharpley stated there was a lack of identified need for the freeway service centres. The centres were meant to start operating when Peninsula Link opened in January last year. Late last month, the council voted to tell Mr Guy that it was “disappointed that contrary to previously indicated intentions, the minister did

not obtain the council’s views before making his decision to approve Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme Amendment C195”. Led by councillors David Gibb and Anne Shaw, the council called on Mr Guy to cancel his approval and start a new process that would allow input from the council as well as residents affected by the proposed servos. But a spokeswoman for Mr Guy said the council had since August to comment and the scaleddown proposal “had the support of shire officers”. She said the minister had dealt with the matter under a planning law known as A20 part 5 intervention. Mr Guy reportedly said the council had held three meetings at which it could have discussed his action. Rules prohibiting service centres in green wedge zones had been introduced after AA Holdings made its application, he said. The council told Mr Guy the “strategic justification provided by the Linking Melbourne Authority to support this proposal has not been adequately established particularly in the green wedge and having regard to the recent changes to the green wedge zone, which prohibits a freeway service centre”. “Consistent with the VCAT hearing on the same matter, the need for a rest stop has not been established for the northbound site only 20 minutes after entering the freeway at Rosebud. The proposed southbound site is similarly less than an hour from Melbourne and the West Gate Bridge route; less time again from the EastLink route”. “Other sites may exist that would provide a greater level of service, greater safety, less impact on adjoining owners, and greater consistency with the planning policy framework.” The council said the servos would “adversely impact the economic vitality of other activity centres on the Mornington Peninsula” as the proposed retail part of the servos was “equivalent to the size of a local activity centre [that] would typically serve a population up to 5000 people”.

Leading woman QC dies at 62 ONE of the state’s top lawyers, Clarinda Eleanor Molyneux of Rye, has died at the age of 62 after a long illness. Ms Molyneux is the wife of Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Hugh Fraser, who represents Nepean Ward on the southern peninsula. She was a member of the Victorian Bar for almost 30 years, being called to the bar in 1984 and retiring in 2012. She was made a Queen’s Counsel in 1996. Victorian Bar chairman William Alstergren said Ms Molyneux was educated at Loreto Mandeville Hall in Toorak, Latrobe University and the University of Melbourne. He said Ms Molyneux lived for a year in England between school and university, staying with her aunt, Trixie Gardner (later Baroness Gardner). Another aunt, Beatrice Bateman, was the fourth woman to sign the NSW Bar Roll. “Clarinda first studied political science at Latrobe University, graduating Bachelor of Arts, and then read law at the University of Melbourne,” he said. “Clarinda took silk in November 1996. As a silk [QC], she continued to practise in family and de facto property law. “Clarinda developed a practice in wills, trusts and estates in the Supreme Court. “Clarinda’s husband, Hugh Fraser, is a long-time member of our Bar.” Ms Molyneux practised in the Supreme, Family, Federal and High courts, mainly in family and succession law. She served as honorary treasurer of the Family Law Bar and on the bar subcommittee that established the existing continuing legal education program. She is a member of a prominent Melbourne family. Her father G C “Bing” Molyneux, AO, OBE, was an aeronautical engineer, chairman of the advisory council of St Vincent’s Hospital 1965-88, and honorary consul and then consul-general of the Philippines for Victoria, WA, SA and Tasmania 1959-78. Ms Molyneux is the only daughter of Bing and Patty Molyneux, both of whom predeceased her. She has five brothers – Philip (deceased), Alan, Marcus (deceased), Grevor and Fabian. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Antonella Celi said she was deeply sadden by the death of Ms Molyneux. “I only knew Clarinda for a short period of time, but she was a very impressive and inspiring woman who had a long and distinguished career as a barrister and QC,” Cr Celi said. “On behalf of my council colleagues and the broader community, I pass on my sincerest condolences to Hugh, and to Clarinda’s family and friends during this very difficult time.” A requiem mass was held in St Patrick’s Cathedral last Friday.

WILD tobacco and Frankston spider orchid are just two of the many threatened Mornington Peninsula plant species set to benefit from a state government grants of more than $15 million to protect native vegetation. Nepean MP Martin Dixon last week announced $38,000 in funding for community action on the peninsula to help native revegetation by removing woody weeds and the propagation of replacement native species for replanting. He said the Environmental Partnerships Program “protects, restores and manages native vegetation and the habitats of threatened species through partnerships with local groups”. “The program will use local knowledge so that we can take the right action to successfully protect local threatened species and get the best value for money.” Environment Minister Ryan Smith said the government was investing $15.48 million. “Through this funding the state government will support landholders to manage weeds, control pest animals, and fence sensitive areas for native revegetation,” Mr Smith said.

Grants for gardens SCHOOLS and community groups in Melbourne’s southeast are being encouraged to apply for one of three $3000 “love every drop” garden grants from South East Water’s education and community program. In 2014, there are two educational grants and one community group grant to give to organisations that develop innovative ideas to use water in gardens. Applicants are asked to creatively describe how their garden will break new ground for water use. Full details are available at southeastwater. com.au/loveeverydrop

Events highlight diversity LIVE performances, films and lectures are highlights of Cultural Diversity Week on the Mornington Peninsula. The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the list of events sought to “unite the community in common values of respect, fairness, participation, acceptance and a fair go for all”. “In valuing diversity, we value each other, our differences, our commonalities and all the wonderful things that make our peninsula the vibrant and creative place we all love.” The 2011 Census showed that 18 per cent of people living on the peninsula were born overseas, with 5.9 per cent coming from a non-English speaking background, mainly Italy, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia,

France, Spain and China. The peninsula also has the state’s secondfastest growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander population. Cultural diversity events include: Doco Alias Ruby Blade, 16 March, 2-4pm, Coolart Wetlands and Homestead, Lord Somers Rd, Somers (Melway 193 J9).

Power to CEO MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has been cleared to accept tenders for the shire’s $1.85 million electricity supply. Although the amount involved exceeds the amount for which Dr Kennedy can approve contracts, there is not enough time for tenders to be considered by the council. When being asked to approve the one-off increase in Dr Kennedy’s limit, councillors were told the seven-day acceptance period was due to “the quickly changing nature of the electricity market”. The existing contracts ended on 31 December and tender recommendations are due on 10 and 17 March. The shire divides its electricity supplies into three contracts: unmetered street lighting (currently $800,000), large buildings and facilities ($425,000), and small tariff sites ($630,000).

FEATURE PROPERTY

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Grand manor TAKING its name from a suburb in south-east London, Bexley Heath is set in peaceful Balnarring, a world away from its Old Dart namesake and the busy A2 motorway that weaves through it. Totally private, the property is accessed via a tree-lined driveway that slowly reveals a grand, stately home. The house is surrounded by an expansive lawn area and an incredible variety of trees and shrubs that are sure to keep the green thumb of the family happy for many hours. From the wide entry, resplendent with gleaming floor tiles, is a large formal lounge featuring a fireplace with beautiful marble surrounds, a separate study, and magnificent formal dining room with large windows that provide a serene outlook to the ornamental lake. Also on the ground floor is a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a delightful dining area with garden views through a bay window. A separate family room opens out to an alfresco timber deck, and along one side of the home is an undercover entertaining area with fabulous bar and barbecue facilities. There are three double bedrooms upstairs; two share a second bathroom while the palatial master bedroom is complete with an ensuite and spa, and access out to a private verandah. The rumpus room on this level provides handy extra living space or a play area for children. The property measures about 2.75 hectares and the grounds and surrounding outbuildings are excellent. A boat-house style dwelling set on the banks of the lake features a lounge, kitchen and bathroom, and can accommodate up to eight people. There is a cubby house with swings and a slide, and a secondary house with two mezzanines that will sleep a further four to six people. The property is set up for equestrian pursuits, with space for two horse floats. In addition, there are two stables, loose boxes, arena and round yard, as well as many other facilities for a home business. Beautifully private, this tranquil property is surprisingly close to Balnarring village, and be sure to experience the wisteria walk set in a water lily alcove on the lake.

Fame waits in the hall for triathlete By Scott Grimster STEPHEN Foster of Mornington saw himself as an “abstract failure at sport” before having a light bulb moment as he watched television footage of Julie Moss crawling across the finish line at the Hawaiian Ironman in February 1982. In his first attempt at a triathlon, the 1983 Nautilus Triathlon, he was the first junior home and 15th overall. That was enough – he was hooked. Since then he has won trophies around the world and been acknowledged as a world champion. On 20 March he and Louise Mackinlay will be inducted into Triathlon Australia’s hall of fame alongside Brad Beven (2013); Emma Carney, Jackie Fairweather and Loretta Harrop (2012); and Michellie Jones, Miles Stewart and Greg Welch (2011). At age 18 Foster competed in the ironman-distance 1984 Triple M Triathlon, coming third behind 1982 world champion Scott Tinley of the United States and one of Australia’s top athletes, Marc Dragan. After another ironman event and with numerous wins in races across Victoria, Foster finished third in the 1985 Great Lakes International Triathlon behind Grant Boswell, an American athlete who had finished third at Hawaii, and Marc Dragan. He went on to win at Devonport, which many retrospectively classed as the 1986 Australian championships. Foster peaked just as the national circuit began to take shape. Although he suffered serious injuries in a

cycling accident in November 1988 and took a year to return to winning form, he was named triathlete of the year in 1987, 1988 and 1990, won the official Australian championships in 1987, 1988, 1990 and 1991, and claimed the Australian long-course title in 1988 and 1996.

Following his early success, an encouraging win against Scott Tinley at the 1986 Big Apple Triathlon, and a sprint for second place with Tinley and European champion Rob Barel at the 1987 unofficial World Sprint Triathlon Championships in Perth, Foster began to dream of competing

overseas. He finished third at the unofficial world championships in Kelowna Canada in 1988, and won the famous USTS Chicago Triathlon. Foster was unable to contest the first official world championships in 1989, but placed third the following year at Orlando, and fourth in 1992.

In 1993, he won the Embrun ITU World Cup. Foster gradually moved into coaching and age group racing in Victoria, where he continues to frequent the podium. He runs a semi-professional triathlon team in Mornington called Team Barefoot.

Healthy Living Help for feet and knees pain

ARE you one of the many who suffer arthritis in your feet, knees or hips? Arthritis can occur at any age, and literally means “pain within a joint”. As a result, arthritis is a term used broadly to refer to a number of different conditions. There are three types of arthritis that may affect your foot, ankle and knee. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative or “wear and tear” arthritis, is a common problem for many people after they reach middle age. Over the years, the smooth, gliding surface covering the ends of bones (cartilage) becomes worn and frayed. This results in inflammation, swelling, and pain in the joint.

Osteoarthritis progresses slowly and the pain and stiffness it causes worsens over time. Rheumatoid Arthritis Unlike osteoarthritis, which follows a predictable pattern in certain joints, rheumatoid arthritis is a system-wide disease. It is an inflammatory disease where the patient’s own immune system attacks and destroys cartilage. Post-traumatic Arthritis Post-traumatic arthritis can develop after an injury. This type of arthritis is similar to osteoarthritis and may develop years after a fracture, severe sprain, or ligament injury. Although there is no cure for arthritis, there are many treatment options available to assist with pain and maintain mobility so you can stay active and live a fulfilling life, reducing the need for ongoing medications or surgery. It’s important to seek help early so that treatment can begin as soon as possible but it is also important to get a correct diagnosis and address aggravating factors so the most appropriate treatment can be provided. The good news is expert help is just around the corner. Foot & Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s most experienced podiatry practices specifically focused on assisting pain, injury and degenerative issues has been having enormous success, for more than seven years, assisting many living on the peninsula. “Thanks to the latest medical research and treatments we’re now able to assist and manage arthritis better than ever before,” Foot & Leg Pain Clinics’ Dr David Kavanagh said. Visit Dr David Kavanagh at Foot & Leg Pain Clinics in Rye and Mt Eliza. Call 1300 328 300 and mention this article for $50 OFF initial consultations.

Getting kids back to nature A FESTIVAL for children aims to tackle “nature deficit disorder”, which some experts argue links children’s declining engagement with the outdoors to myriad issues from depression to obesity. The inaugural Kids’ Adventure Festival will provide children and parents with the opportunity to experience adventure activities specifically designed for the younger generation, with walks, runs, climbs, rides and plenty more “wild” play planned for the weekend event.

Taking place at Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort on 5-6 April, the festival will feature all manner of activities aimed at re-engaging children with nature while introducing them to the huge variety of adventure pursuits that make the most of nature’s playground. Further updates and news will be available on www.kidsadventurefest.com.au and on the “Mt Baw Baw Kids Adventure Festival” Facebook page.

DR Jodie Ann Senior is the director of cardiology at The Valley Private Hospital in Mulgrave and is one of handful of trained heart transplant physicians in Victoria. The case she describes is typical of those Dr Senior has encountered in her long career dealing with heart disease. “A 61 year old man walks on the beach each day while on holidays. He’s usually well but doesn’t feel quite right. His energy is a bit low and he feels like he’s getting what he assumes is heart burn in the lower part of his chest and upper part of his stomach when he goes for a walk each morning. It goes away when he rests and then he feels alright. This happens for a while. The pain isn’t pain, rather he feels uncomfortable, maybe a bit tight, like there’s a pressure in the chest. So he doesn’t take too much notice but thinks something’s not quite right. The next day, he gets that same feeling but keeps walking. This time it becomes more intense but before he can act on it, he collapses.

His wife is there and calls an ambulance but she doesn’t know CPR and the man passes away before help can arrive.� Dr Senior says: “We all have heard stories like this one and know the statistics for heart disease aren’t good. Heart disease is still the number one killer. 10 per cent of people still die from sudden cardiac death, before they can get help. We want to bring that number down.� She advises anyone with chest, throat or neck, arm, shoulder, upper abdominal discomfort - especially if it relates to exertion of some kind – to act quickly. Discomfort or pain while walking or doing housework, or going up inclines or stairs should never be ignored. There is no time to lose when it comes to your health and your heart. If you ever have any symptoms like those described in the case study, quickly let your doctor know and ask to have an assessment as soon as possible.

Thieves visit Melbourne home; dry weather to blame for fire breakouts Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 14 March 1914 AN unoccupied furnished house, owned by Mrs Harris of Melbourne, was during the past fortnight visited by thieves, and goods to the amount of £50 have been removed. The police are making inquiries. *** OWING to the continued dry weather, bush fires have been breaking out throughout the Peninsula during the last three or four weeks. On Saturday last a fire started near Sir John Maddens’, on the Mornington road, when a good deal of fencing and crass was destroyed before the fire was checked. The Frankston fire bell was rung, and a good muster of firemen and volunteers were quickly on the scene, and they did good service in keeping the outbreak in check. Though a hock of sheep were in danger, some of the fighters managed to get all but one to a place of safety. Sir John is highly pleased with the efforts’ of the brigade and fighters. The manager (Mr G. Bloxham) when spoken to subsequently, said he could not speak too highly of the assistance given by the fighters, especially mentioning Messrs Geoff Grice, Broomhead, Walker Bros, and Cousins. Mr Broomhead was one of the first at the fire, after having run three quarters of a mile through ploughed fields, and, to use Mr Bloxham’s own words, “He fought the fire with a vengeance, and it was mainly owing to his splendid work and generalship, with the assistance of those previously mentioned, that the fire was stopped. The brigade and those who arrived later also gave valuable assistance.” On Monday evening the fire bell was again rung, the fire being this time on the heights to the left of Oliver’s Hill. The brigade and a good muster of fighters again turned out, and after a most strenuous battle the flames were checked, and the houses which were in danger were pronounced safe. The bell was rung for the third time on Tuesday evening, and the brigade, with the assistance of Mr Millard’s horse drawing the hose and reel, were quickly on the spot, near the scene of the outbreak of the previous night. Fortunately, there was little wind, and a break was burned just at the rear of Mr Plummer’s house and those near him, which proved effective. A blaze occurred near “Ramslade,” the property of Mr T. Ritchie, on Monday night. A party of fighters went out from Frankston, and, with the assistance of others, the flames were subdued, though not before a considerable amount of damage had been done. *** CONSTABLE McCallum, who has been stationed at Frankston for some time, has received notice of his promotion, though his station is not yet definitely fixed. He left here on Friday, and though his friends are glad to hear of his promotion, he will be missed in many ways. His successor is Constable McCormack, of Meredith. *** MISS Meason, an organiser of the P.L.P will deliver an address on current politics in the Mechanics’ Hall Frankston on Monday evening, March 23. Miss Meason, who has previously spoken in Frankston, is a fluent speaker, and a treat is in store for those who attend on Monday night. *** ENTRIES for the Somerville Show close to-day (Saturday, 14th.) Entry forms and schedules can

be obtained from the secretary, at Somerville, and at the office of this paper, and at Messrs Brody and Mason’s, Frankston. For the convenience of residents of Frankston the latter firm will receive entries at their office up to 9 o’clock on Saturday (this) evening. *** A HIGH class concert in connection with the Frankston Methodist Church will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ hall this (Saturday) evening. First class artists have been selected, and these will be assisted by the Festal Glee party and Orchestra. Doors open at 7 30, and the concert commences at 8 p.m. The prices of admission are 2s and 1s, reserved seats 6d extra. *** READERS are requested to peruse an advertisement on the fourth page of this issue, drawing attention to the merits of the “I.H.C.” spraying outfit. A sample will be on view at the Somervilloe show, and those interested are requested to inspect. *** AT the last meeting of the Frankston and Hastings Shire Council, Cr Griffeth moved that a committee consisting of one councillor from each riding, be formed, to evolve a scheme to put the Shire in a better position with regards to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, and that a report be submitted at next meeting. Cr Keast seconded, and the motion was carried. The committee to consist of the President, and Crs Plowman and Griffeth. *** A MOTOR tour throughout Australia of over 4000 is to be undertaken by Major C. W. Campbell, of Amesfield Park, Frankston, on the 23rd inst. Mr P. V. Taylor, of Major Campbell’s staff, is to be at the wheel of the Major’s costly motor car. During the trip, the party will sleep under canvas, and as the journey proposed by the Major has never before been attempted by motorists, many of the city motorists are eagerly awaiting the smashing of records by Major Cambell. At much cost and trouble the Vacuum Oil Co. Prop. Ltd. is urgently despatching petrol and oil supplies to various points of the route for Major Campbell’s requirements, and the Co.’s American expert states that if Major Campbell succeeds, his record will be of lasting interest to the motor trade and motorists in general. We have made arrangements to secure Major Campbell’s notes, and possibly our detailed account will be more interesting than that of the Melbourne papers, whose scribes are writing up Major Campbell’s results. *** FROM Melbourne trade journals we note that a company has been registered by Messrs Hogan and Hogan, solicitors of Melbourne, for the purpose of trading as the “Frankston Motor Garage Proprietary, Limited,” and has a capital of £2000, fully paid up. The managing director of the company is Major C. W. Campbell, pastoralist, and the directors are Mr J. B. Jolly, commercial traveller, and Mr Thomas Ritchie, merchant. The above gentlemen are all local residents. The garage, we learn, will cater for the Peninsula trade, and is also certain to command much city business, as the directors are widely known. Mr F. V. Taylor, an expert motorist and mechanic, with a world-wide experience, is to have charge of the workshop, where a costly and up-to-date plant is being installed. We understand that two Ford cars of the latest design and a modern Sunbeam car is already at the command of those desiring to drive a motor.

At much cost and trouble, the Vacuum Oil Co. Prop. Ltd. is urgently despatching petrol and oil supplies to various points of the route for Major Campbell’s requirements.

Performance JEANNE Pratt AC, chair of The Production Company, has announced her company’s 2014 season. “Three very different musicals are coming to Melbourne for this year’s season. They are three of my favourite Broadway classics Guys and Dolls, Showboat and our third musical and our third musical La Cage Aux Follies,” Mrs Pratt said. “To star in these musicals, we have engaged artists who will shine and enchant our audiences. Unique stagings for each musical will be created by our brightest directors, choreographers and conductors. Melbourne is in for another great year of musical theatre entertainment”. Guys and Dolls opens in Arts Centre Melbourne’s State Theatre on July 19 for a season of ten performances. Showered with Tony, Drama Desk, Olivier and Helpmann Awards since its debut, this new staging will be directed by the award winning Gale Edwards, musical director is Guy Simpson and the choreographer is Nathan M. Wright. Show Boat opens in Arts Centre Melbourne’s State Theatre on 16 August for a season of ten performances. Alinta Chidzey, Christina O’Neill, Gareth Keegan, Philip Gould and Eddie Muliaumaseali’I star in this musical masterpiece created by Oscar Hammerstein ll and Jerome Kern. The creative team responsible for the award winning Grey Gardens, Director Roger Hodgman, Musical Director Kellie Dickerson, and Choreographer Dana Jolly return to stage Show Boat. La Cage Aux Folles opens in Arts Centre Melbourne’s Playhouse on November 22 for a run of seventeen performances. Todd McKenney and Simon Burke star as the two brilliant characters, Albin and Georges, who have lived together happily for twenty years above their nightclub La Cage Aux Folles. Georges is the owner and MC and Albin is its star drag performer,

Zaza. Rhonda Burchmore returns in the role of Jacqueline. Launching the new season at her home, Raheen, Jeanne Pratt said “With the ever increasing demand for tickets to our shows, this year we are introducing additional Performances for each production. We will be presenting a total of 37 performances. Our ticket prices are being kept competitive and we are especially proud of our 50% discount for anyone under 18, with tickets for as little as $23.” www.theproductioncompany.com.au *** Robbie Williams will appear at the Rod Laver Arena on 16 September….. Singer Percy Sledge, 73, has pulled out of a UK tour after he was diagnosed

with liver cancer. His biggest hit was When a Man Loves a Woman…..Devo guitarist Bob Casale has died of heat failure aged 61. The group’s drummer, Alan Myers, died last year after a battle with cancer at age 58. Their biggest hit was Whip it….Shirley Bassey aged 77 is set to return to Broadway in the musical After Midnight replacing k.d lang…… *** AUSTRALIAN rockers AC/DC will celebrate their 40th anniversary this year by performing 40 shows around the world, while recording their first album in five years. AC/DC formed in Melbourne in 1974 and their debut single Can I Sit Next to You Girl sold only moderately. However, the follow up single Baby,

Please Don’t Go (1975) the old Them single became a hit from the album High Voltage which became the second biggest Australian album of the year and stayed on the charts for 25 weeks. Original singer Dave Evans left the band before recording the debut album and was replaced by Bon Scott. Drummer Peter Clark departed to be replaced by Phillip Rudd and bass player Rob Bailey left to be replaced by Mark Evans. The band developed a hard rock image with a young Angus Young performing a stage act portraying a schoolboy. Follow up singles High Voltage, It’s A Long Way To The Top made the Top 10 as did the album of the same name High Voltage which also contained the controversial songs The Jack and She’s Got Balls. On 19 February 1980 Bon Scott was found dead in his car. The official verdict was that he had choked to death. After much deliberation it was announced in April 1980 that Brian Johnston from the English band Geordie had been chosen to replace Bon. Despite the setback, AC/DC went on to produce the very successful album, Back In Black, released in August 1980 which sold well over 300,000 copies in Australia and well over 4 million copies in the USA, and worldwide sales were well over the 8 million mark. Hit singles from the album included You Shook Me All Night Long, Hells Bells, Rock n Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, and What Do You Do for Money Honey. AC/DC is rumoured to be touring Australia in November. www.acdc.com *** INTERNATIONAL superstar Katy Perry has announced that she will head to Australia in November, kicking off in Perth and playing dates in Adelaide, Melbourne (November 14 & 15), Syd-

ney and Brisbane. Presented by the Dainty Group, the tour is in support of Katy’s smash hit album PRISM, which debuted at number one in Australia and has since been certified triple platinum. The album has given Katy her biggest ever single in Australia with Roar currently certified 9 x platinum. The latest single Dark Horse from PRISM is already triple platinum in Australia with the amazing video just released on 21 February. In the US, Dark Horse is Katy’s ninth No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and her eleventh No.1 hit on American pop radio. In Australia alone, Katy’s single and album sales total more than 4.6 million. Tickets 132 849. www.katyperry.com *** WOLF Creek 2 has made a killing at the Australian box office this weekend, taking in over 35 per cent more than original. The Australian-made film grossed $1,702,073 on 218 screens nationally across its opening weekend (Thursday to Sunday). “Mick Taylor is back with a vengeance,” Roadshow Films managing director Joel Pearlman said. “Greg McLean has crafted a great successor in Wolf Creek 2 and Australian audiences made this the No.1 film at the box office, which is particularly exciting for a local production.” Wolf Creek 2 is screening in cinemas nationally.

A Grain of Salt THEY hit the line in a photo finish! The judge calls for a second print in the crass stupidity stakes. Result: Myki ticketing system by a nostril from the pink batts investigation. Tony’s revenge, after some three years across the table copping it from Lady Julia. My goodness, how Tony must have seethed. Reminds me of The Taming of the Shrew. *** WELCOME back Kotter (Christopher Pyne). “Better schools, better teachers and better outcomes for students”. Chrissy is not one to go off at the mouth, allowing for his tendency to be “away with the fairies” the following hour? His reaction to the Craig Thomson saga: “Politicians have been accused of sometimes gilding the lily, but that is a far cry from standing up in the Parliament and making statements which are deliberately misleading, which are lies.”. Classic Chrissy. Politicians will lie inside and outside parliament according to their interests. Likewise judges will regularly bring down judgements according to their own advantage, sometimes at the expense of innocents, never forgetting journalists, who regularly lie to make their story and betray during the editing process without remorse. And so on. *** THIS Craig Thomson story doesn’t add up. As secretary of the Health Services Union for five years and a former feder-

al MP we can assume the man had a few brains, in his skull at least. We can assume he was getting paid good money: enough for cigarettes, movies, even the smorgasbord naughty night at $2475. So why use the card for cash withdrawals? Why use it after he left the HSU job? Where were his wages going during all this time? Where was the accounting for these items by the HSU over such a long period? According to The Age (Fairfax’s Kate McClymont) it’s been proven as truth. Maybe, but for mine there’s a back story, perhaps forever hidden? Also, the HSU gives out a dodgy feeling about it all. *** A SWEET choice: 165,000 public servants offered zero pay rise in return for three years employment and deep cuts to their entitlements. It’s always the side issue which fascinates. The government talk of wages being too high is political nonsense, however, slowly but surely the letters build up in favour of overpaid workers. So easy to con the general public into a way of thinking. I wonder if those same people truly believe Victoria is Tony’s second home? *** IN an effort to reduce excessive health costs there’s a push for the public to be educated to stop smoking, stop drinking alcohol and take up a daily exercise routine. It doesn’t concern me personally, but a ban on sex should be included.

Filthy habit. *** I WENT to Sydney. You remember Sydney? Similar to Manilla, run by crooks with different accents? Watched ABC TV at night (dangerous outside). More accurately Sydney TV. (Not 7, 9 or 10 obviously; I’m not that desperate). The Moodys is hot and cold. Good stuff from Darren Gilshenan, Patrick Brammall and Tina Bursill but Ian Meadows should look for another job. Rake Season 3 was dreadful, particularly the painful Matt Day. Janet King was OK, apart from Damian Walshe-Howling, and Vince Colosimo out of their depth and Titiel Mora (as a judge) unbeliebably still pretending to be an actor. Shaun Micallef’s work on Mad As Hell with a talented support cast (Francis Greenslade and Roz Hammond) is funny and clever. The Returned (SBS2) is spooky but good. Then I read Sigrid Thornton is playing Blanche DuBoir (A Streetcar Named Desire) in Perth. What is the world coming to, I ask? Bring on the football. *** YOU have to feel sympathy for the recently overthrown Ukraine government. Hopefully, the alleged transfer of $70 billion to offshore accounts will provide a comfort in their latter years, or

until the new government has done their dirty deeds, thus allowing the outgoing government to come home. Will Russia intervene, or back off in fear of the wrath of Julie Bishop? *** A QUIET coffee and he says to me: “I’m an organ donor”. “Well done,” I replied, which should have been the end of it, but no. He said: “Are you an organ donor?” and I replied: “No”. “Why not?” he said. “It’s a good thing and you’re helping another life”. Why do so many people, over and over, believe not only that they think they know what may or not be appropriate, but regularly take it further by giving you their unsolicitered advice? My advice to him was “piss off!” *** OPERATION Sovereign Borders. The 2300 asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru and the acquiescence of the Labor Party leave us with no heroes and a state of general meloncholy. Politicians all, bring shame on us. *** HAS the cricket finished yet? Cricket Australia’s mission statement is for cricket to be Australia’s favourite sport. Test matches a forlorn chance, even four-day state matches. The rest, money-grubbing rubbish. *** JOE, Joe, Joe...you should have been an actor. Joe commits to an econmic growth rate of 3 per cent and sweeping reforms at the G20 summit.

By Cliff Ellen

Was it a summit? What is a summit? Cutting the unemployment rate but in fact no different to Wayne Swan’s stream of blowhard nonsense served up from half baked ideas. Jerry Seinfeld’s show about nothing. *** I ASSUME Hawthorn supporters adore Shane Crawford, but why should everyone else?...Andrew Demetriou commenting on his role as AFL supremo adds to the chorus “we need to have more women in senior roles”. Why Andrew?...Former cricket great Keith Miller “Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse”...”The drugs were planted by a dingo” (Richard Opat)...“I want to go to rehab, to be away from Tony.

Monumental as anything By Stuart McCullough WHEN news broke that a giant, threestorey mango had gone missing, I’ll admit I feared the worst. Not since someone blew the backside off the Giant Pheasant outside Gumbuya Park had our nation faced so dark a day. Presumably when something of this magnitude occurs, the authorities activate some top-secret emergency plan and other national icons are immediately placed into high-security lockdown. For its own safety, Lang Lang’s Giant Earthworm would be cordoned off from the public. South Australia’s The Big Lobster would be ushered into its own underground reinforced concrete bunker. Adaminaby’s Big Trout would be placed into the witness protection program and forced to change its name to ‘Dennis’. Not that everything needs such high level security. Such measures are largely unnecessary for Tasmania’s The Big Potato. Nobody’s going to steal that thing. Nobody. When a humungous piece of fruit goes missing, it’s natural to speculate whether it’s the first part of a broader campaign of terror. My fear was that we were obviously dealing with some kind of evil genius super-villain hellbent on making a gigantic fruit salad and that the Big Pineapple and Big Banana might be next. But who would do such a thing? It’s obvious. I don’t want to point the finger but, personally, I’d be on the lookout for a mutant forty-foot Wiggle.

He shouldn’t be hard to spot. Granted, he’ll probably be wearing a black skivvy rather than the customary red, yellow, blue or purple, but it’s difficult to hide your getaway vehicle when it’s a Big Red Car, no matter how hard you try. A fruit salad may well be ‘yummy, yummy’, but there’s just no excuse for this kind of anarchic malarkey. For a few anxious days, there was little to do other than wait for the ransom demands. They never arrived. Turns out, it was merely a publicity stunt. What, precisely, they were seeking to publicise remains a mystery. Which, when it comes to publicity stunts, suggests failure on an epic scale. If these people want to perform a

stunt, next time they should try jumping a motorcycle over thirty burning busses whilst blindfolded and, for all our sakes, leave the oversized fruit alone. On the plus side, I guess this means The Wiggles are now free to go. But whilst pretending to abduct a giant mango might sound like a bit of harmless fun, it speaks to a diminished respect for our national treasures. Suffice to say, for someone to load America’s Lincoln Memorial onto the back of a ute for a bit of laugh would be utterly unthinkable. Sadly, the Western Port region has not been immune to this tidal wave of disrespect. On Frankston Flinders Rd in Somerville stands a fibreglass Tyrannosaurus

Rex. Well, not ‘on the road’ as such – that would startle the drivers and hamper the flow of traffic. But right alongside it. Some may question why there’s a four-and-a-half metre dinosaur by the side of the road. To those who ask ‘why?’ I can only say that when you’re a T-rex, you don’t need to explain yourself to anyone. You stand wherever you want. But, clearly, somebody has a problem with it. Sadly, it appears that someone has it in for our prehistoric friend and has gone and knocked it over for the second time in a fortnight. How senseless. How puerile. How dumb. No wonder the poor things are extinct. Forget comets or the sudden on-set of the Ice Age; the world’s prehistoric creatures were wiped out by idiots who decided to tip them over for a joke. Or perhaps there’s a more sinister motivation at work? Maybe the perpetrator was forced to sit through multiple screenings of Jurassic Park as a youngster and, as a result, has been trained to loathe dinosaurs and everything they stand for. They have then devoted their lives to plotting against dinosaurs in some kind of ‘Jurassic jihad’. Or maybe Dorothy the Dinosaur was jealous. Or, then again, perhaps trying to ascribe a motive to something so stupid is simply futile. When something like this happens, the authorities fear the obvious: reprisal attacks. If I were a T-rex, even a replica one, I wouldn’t take that kind of nonsense ly-

ing down. Granted, I’d be lying down for a while, but only because some fool pushed me over and it’s hard to right yourself when you’re made of steel and fibreglass. But wouldn’t it be glorious? The culprit will be sitting at home when there’s a polite but insistent knock. He opens the front door to find a four and half metre T-rex standing out the front with a baseball bat. Maybe he’s brought a few buddies along with him. Two paces behind the dinosaur, Goulburn’s The Big Merino stands menacingly with a pair of numchucks whilst beside him, Ballina’s The Big Prawn is nursing a piece of timber with some nails sticking out. Suddenly, picking on a fibreglass dinosaur doesn’t seem so funny. If only. In real life, things don’t always turn out quite so neatly. These objects can’t defend themselves, so it’s up to the rest of us. These monuments shouldn’t be abducted, blown up or pushed over. They ought to be cherished. I, for one, love that there are people among us who are willing to take a chance and build these objects. They don’t always make a lot of sense but that’s precisely what’s so great about them. Big objects help bring a little wonder and surprise into our lives and, if for no other reason, they deserve our love and respect. So if it’s been a while between dinosaurs, maybe it’s time for you to head over to Somerville and pay your respects. I’ll see you there. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Dogs maul Kangas in semi PROVINCIAL

first wicket before the score had reached 20. Simon McEvoy (10) was the first man to go and David Ross, who hit two sixes in his innings, lost his wicket for just 17. Luke Popov was superb for the Dogs, snaring three wickets, including the two openers. He only bowled 9.1 overs, the most of any Mornington bowler during the innings. Langwarrin lasted just 44.1 overs and was dismissed for 117. Skipper Mark Cooper, who was recruited as an opening batsman, batted

By IT Gully MORNINGTON beat Langwarrin and advanced to the MPCA Provincial grand final on Saturday. The Doggies cruised to victory on the opening day of the two-day semifinal. Langwarrin failed to offer any resistance when the teams first met before Christmas and history repeated itself on the weekend. The only thing the Kangas did right was winning the toss. They elected to bat but lost their

at six once again and top-scored with 23. Mornington teenager Jack Heseltine picked up 3/34, including the crucial wickets of Andy Johnson and Danny Weare who were both dismissed for 17 runs. Luke Harper was also very effective with the ball, snaring 2/20 from eight overs. Mornington batted the final 31 overs of the day and eased its way to victory. Ben Clements is a star and he proved it again on the weekend, belting 11 fours and two sixes on his way

to an unbeaten 73 after the first day. The Doggies concluded on Saturday at 1/126. In the other semi-final, Sorrento is in a wonderful position after the first day of the semi-final against Long Island. While the Sharks got touched up by the Islanders in the final home and away game of the season, they weren’t about to fall into the same trap in the semi. Sorrento won the toss and elected to bat, the old dynamic duo of Jedd Falck and Nick Jewell coming to the crease.

They got their team away to a flyer, scoring 70 for the opening stand, Falck making 51 and Jewell 36. Liam O’Connor made 29 batting at three and Leigh Poholke whacked 83 to set the Sharks up. With 22 from Anthony Blackwell and 26 from Mark Dunball, the home side managed to score 281 after batting for 79.3 overs. Scott Phillips bowled 25.3 overs for the Islanders, finishing with 4/99. Andrew Tweddle snared 3/48 and Fergus O’Connor chimed in for 2/25 from nine overs, including the wickets of Falck and O’Connor.

Pines blitz Main Ridge DISTRICT

while Brad Rossborough showed the class act he is with 2/45 from 21 overs. Scott Millar toiled for 25 overs and finished with 1/116. Delacombe Park batted first after winning the toss on Saturday but didn’t dominate the opposition bowling as the team has done throughout the season. The home team started well, Jon Guthrie and Nick Christides putting on an opening stand of 51. Christides made 43 of them before falling victim to Justin Allsop. Allsop claimed three wickets, while Aaron Kaddadz and Jack Kennedy were also among the wickets with three and two scalps respectively. Chris Brittain continued his outstanding season in the final with 53 while Joel Malcolm made 30. Ben Brittain (22) and Shane Deal (21) offered some resistance at the end and were able to push the score beyond 200. Chasing 210 is never an easy task in a final and Somerville was left with that challenge on Sunday. Stop press: On Sunday, Pines bowlers dismissed Main Ridge for a lowly 85 runs with Brett Remy taking 4/11 off 14 overs, Nick Wilcox 2/28 off 17, Pat Jackson 1/4 off 6, Ricky Ramsdale 1/4 off 6, Brett Hudgson 1/25 off 3 and Jeremy Weare 1/4 off a single over.

By IT Gully PINES tailenders Nick Wilcox and Pat Jackson put on 58 for the 10th wicket on Saturday to place the Piners in a strong position against Main Ridge after the first day. In the other MPCA District semi-final between Delacombe Park and Somerville, things were truly in the balance after the first day of play. Pines won the toss and batted first on Saturday and, thanks to Wilcox and Jackson, was able to see out its 80 overs with the bat. A score of 9/283 looked enough after the first day for the Piners, especially with the experience of Ricky Ramsdale, Brett Remy and Brett Hudgson leading the attack. Nick Wilcox was superb with the bat for the Piners, showing class and commitment to help himself to an unbeaten 75. Jackson finished with 26no. Earlier in the day, the middle order failed for the Piners, Jeremy Weare (3) and Harley PeaceStirling (4) having little impact on the scoreboard. However, they were able to get some contributions from Jake Prosser (20), Ramsdale (47), Remy (39) and Rhys Chalkley (24). Gareth Wyatt was the key to the Main Ridge bowling attack, picking up 5/91 from 23 overs,

Buds’ reverse outright against YCW to reach final after thrilling finish SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully FRANKSTON YCW was just 45 runs away from victory against Rosebud at the close of play on the first of two days of the Sub-district semi-final. In the other semi, Red Hill had set Balnarring a massive task of scoring 323 to win the match and advance to the grand final. The Stonecats produced some wonderful bowling to push the Buds onto the back foot in the match at picturesque Olympic Park in Rosebud. No Rosebud batsman was allowed to get going and it took a 25 from Jason Nagel at the bottom of the order to get the score beyond 100. At one stage the Buds were 6/61 with Greg McCann, Matty Maher, Brad Glenn and Darren Kerr all back in the sheds. Andrew Kitson opened the bowling for the Stonecats with 3/35 while Adam Muirhead was on fire, snaring 5/59 to give him 29 wickets for the season. Paul Bradley also chimed in, taking 1/12 from five overs. Red Hill skipper Simon Dart stepped up to the plate and produced one of his finest innings with an unbeaten 135 on Saturday. When he came to the crease, his side was in early trouble at 2/1.

Dart had plenty of support throughout his innings with Rheede Hopgood scoring 40, Riley Shaw getting 29 and the elder statesman of the team, Andrew Brown, hitting 64. Lincoln Toy was also great at the end with a quickfire 29. Even without Glenn Collett, the Red Hill score of 322 was always going to be tough to track down. Stop press: In a game that will be remembered for years, Rosebud defeated Frankston YCW via a reverse outright on Sunday. Details next issue.
