Quarry tip refused by EPA By Mike Hast THE Environment Protection Authority has knocked back the application for a rubbish tip, or landfill, in the old Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana. On Friday morning the EPA said the
proposal did not comply with “threshold issues around groundwater, construction design and management”. The decision is a blow to tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management and its owner R E Ross Trust as well as Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management Group of which Morning-
Marshall’s HOLIDAY RENTALS
ton Peninsula Shire is the sole member. The waste group earmarked the quarry as a potential tip site in the late 1990s. PWM wanted the old quarry on Boundary Rd for up to 150,000 tonnes of municipal waste a year for up to 20 years. Less than one-third of the waste would have come from the peninsula.

The proposal generated massive opposition and the formation of a highpowered lobby group called Peninsula Preservation Group. It was formed soon after the plan became public in late January (“Arthurs Seat tip plan”, The News, 24/1/13) and members include successful business people, law-
yers, scientists, doctors and teachers. More than 20,000 peninsula residents and others had signed paper and electronic petitions objecting to the tip. Thousands had attended protest meetings, a rally in Dromana and an EPA conference in Mornington. Continued Page 9

Young teach lessons on the environment PUPILS and students from seven Mornington Peninsula schools changed roles last week, trying their hands at being teachers during an environmental youth leadership program at Point Nepean National Park. Now in its 13th year, the Kids Teaching Kids event is aimed at helping primary school-aged children put the environment and its challenges under the microscope and feel empowered to make meaningful contributions to local and national issues. More than 120 pupils from private, Catholic and public primary schools
spent the day delivering presentations on such topics as mangrove ecosystems, endangered animals, marine debris, hooded plovers and recycling and renewable energy. “Adults take a back seat at this event – kids teach each other in much more interesting and creative ways than the usual classroom format with songs, dance, poems, games, interactive quizzes and crafts,” former Australian Environmentalist of the Year Arron Wood said. Boneo Primary School principal Gill Wright said the school was thrilled to
be a part of the program. “In preparing for Kids Teaching Kids, our pupils get to make very tangible connections with the wetland and coastal environments surrounding us and through the program they’re extremely motivated and inspired to share their environmental know-how with other kids regionally and nationally,” she said. The teaching day included field trips with rangers and environmental experts. “Last year these very engaged and confident pupils were presenting com-
plex issues in such a simple way that we wished they had been televised nationally,” head ranger Victor Teoh said. “Parks Victoria is also delighted to be sponsoring St Macartan’s Primary School to attend the national Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids conference in October and present their environmental topics to a wider audience.” Schools involved in the program were Mt Eliza Secondary College as well as Boneo, Derinya, Our Lady of Fatima, Rye, St Macartan’s and Sorrento primary schools.
PUBLIC comment is being invited for a draft planning strategy by the Victorian Coastal Council for the state’s coastline. The strategy is described as a “whole-of-government policy and long-term framework for planning and managing the coastal and marine environment”. The first stage in preparing the strategy is releasing the draft for public consultation. The draft strategy outlines a proposed approach to planning and managing the coast and marine environment. The coastal council says the draft gives Victorians a chance to have a say on how the coast is managed. The strategy can be found at vcc. vic.gov.au and submissions can be made by post or email to: Victorian Coastal Council, PO Box 500, East Melbourne 3002. The nearest public meeting being held to discuss the strategy is 6-7pm on 21 October at the Silverwater Resort in San Remo.
Top spa award PENINSULA Hot Springs near Rye has won the Australasian Spa Association best natural bathing spa award. When accepting the award at a ceremony on the Gold Coast last week, director Charles Davidson attributed the win to the 190 “incredible staff members who make the whole experience possible”. Two spas from New Zealand – Polynesian Spa and Hanmer Springs – were the runners-up. Mr Davidson said it was a “proud moment … to be recognised among world-renowned thermal mineral springs facilities and regions”.
Governance manager Noel Buck to retire By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s long-time governance and corporate support manager Noel Buck is retiring. Mr Buck’s job was advertised in The Age last Saturday. The shire is offering a salary package of $160,000 for someone who will “provide strategic advice and management of customer service, risk management and insurances, and governance support for the whole organisation”. The governance manager oversees four team leaders and 42 staff. Mr Buck is also executive officer of the Mornington Peninsula Cemetery Trust. He has been in the local government sector for 38 years.

A resident of Beaconsfield Upper in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, Mr Buck will unlikely miss the long commute to the shire’s Rosebud office where he is based. He joined the shire after Victoria’s 1994 council amalgamations when 210 municipalities were reduced to 78. The shire was created by the merger of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings shirs. Mr Buck’s job is generally low profile but he made news in 2011 over the reappointment of shire CEO Michael Kennedy in 2004 and 2008 when a ratepayer in 2009 asked Mr Buck for Dr Kennedy’s contract. There followed months of controver-
sy involving the Victorian Government Solicitor, then Local Government Minister Richard Wynne, peninsula Liberal MPs Neale Burgess and David Morris, the Municipal Association of Victoria, consultants FOI Solutions, shire lawyers, two mayors (2008 mayor Anne Shaw and 2009 mayor David Gibb), and Tim Ginnane, SC, now a judge, who provided a legal opinion for the shire. The Victorian Ombudsman, George Brouwer, ordered the shire to review its freedom of information processes and procedures, including recordkeeping and records management. He also ordered the shire to consider counselling Mr Buck in relation to his
“Mad Matty” Karaoke Show spot prizes
role “in this matter” as well as Dr Kennedy. Mr Buck received some kind of counselling, Dr Kennedy received none and in January 2010, Local Government Victoria said the CEO’s contracts were valid. He was in the news again in late 2011 during the Victorian Electoral Commission review into shire ward boundaries and how many councillors should be in each ward. VEC chief Steve Tully queried Mr Buck about a possible conflict of interest as a senior shire staff member when making a verbal presentation to the committee. Mr Buck said that in discussions

with colleagues at Local Government Victoria it was indicated there was no conflict of interest. Mr Tully responded: “If you’re happy, I’m happy. I’m just raising it because it’s so unusual ... so unusual ... I’m not saying it’s wrong ...” Mr Buck said that “as a practitioner of 35 years in local government I think that I should have at least a view on council structures and council wards, etcetera”. “That may be true, Mr Tully said. “As I say, I’m only putting it there for you to consider.” Mr Buck then proceeded with his submission, telling the chairman: “Look, I don’t have a lot to add.”

Government drives in with advice for businesses PENINSULA business operators will be able to access vital information, support and mentoring when the state government’s Mobile Business Centre visits Mornington on 26 September. The centre, which visited two years ago, provides free information about Small Business Victoria’s year-round services, including low-cost seminars, workshops and programs. The advice centre also provides lit-
erature about planning, starting and growing a business, with information on everything from registering for taxation to formulating a business plan. Mornington MP David Morris said people running small businesses on the peninsula were often too busy to seek information or assistance. “Having the mobile centre in Mornington gives businesses the opportunity to find out about the range of small
business programs and services on offer. It also gives local small businesses the chance to access expert mentoring services,” Mr Morris said. Minister for Innovation Services and Small Business Louise Asher said the centre would visit a number of places in Frankston and the peninsula, including Hastings. “The centre is a pivotal component of the government’s commitment to
improving productivity, encouraging innovation and providing a fair and competitive small business environment,” Ms Asher said. “Advice is also provided by a pool of volunteers from the Small Business Mentoring Service. They have experience either running their own business, or working in senior management. Their skills range from marketing, finance, human resources and sales.
“Last year, the mobile centre visited more than 90 towns and suburbs and mentors delivered more than 670 mentoring sessions to small businesses. “We provided face-to-face, low-cost and expert help to those at the coalface of the state economy,” Ms Asher said. The centre will be at 216 Main St, Mornington, 10am-4pm on 26 September from. Details: business.vic.gov.au/ mbc or call 13 22 15.

THERE’LL be plenty of horsing around at the Mornington Peninsula’s latest Landcare group where equine topics will be the focus of attention. Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group aims to assist horse owners access information and support on sustainable horse management. The group’s first meeting will be held on Saturday at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre and follows the successful establishment of similar equine Landcare groups in neighbouring areas. Mornington Peninsula Landcare facilitator Jacqui Salter, who organised the meeting, said she had received a high level of interest from horse owners and expected an enthusiastic response. “We had a great turnout at our horse property management course and horse owners are keen to further their knowledge of sustainable horse management through the formation of a Landcare group,” she said. Ownership of horses required thoughtful land management, especially in light of their comparatively large size and hard hooves, Ms Salter said. “Owners sometimes despair as they see their paddocks turn to dust in summer and mud in winter; but there are experts who can help them manage their land so their horses are in the best of condition – and so is their land.” The Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group will offer support, information and workshops for horse owners and property managers. Sustainable horse management includes topics such as the importance of perennial pastures, the benefits of rotational grazing, use of sacrificial paddocks, weed control, and use of vegetation for shade and shelter. Ms Salter said although Landcare groups had been historically based around particular catchment areas, equine groups were rapidly spreading across the state, with groups already established in Mitchell, South Gippsland and the Yarra Valley. Members of the Yarra Valley group will attend the inaugural Mornington Peninsula meeting to share their experiences. Boneo Park owner Rob McNaught will give attendees an insight into the major restoration work being undertaken on the property “In addition to being a well-respected establishment for horses, Boneo Park is one of the most ecologically significant areas on the Mornington Peninsula,” Ms Salter said. “It has 50 hectares of the endangered Moonah woodland and 150 hectares of wetlands. We thank Rob and Boneo Park for kindly offering to host our first meeting.” Mornington Peninsula Equine Landcare Group will meet 2-4pm on Saturday 21 September at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre, 312 Boneo Rd, Boneo. To find out more, contact Jacqui Salter by email at jacqueline. salter@mornpen.vic.gov.au or call 5950 1279 or 0408 213 079.

Award for sea care program AN INNOVATIVE program that teaches students the environmental importance of marine life in Port Phillip and Western Port has received statewide recognition. The Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute received a “Community Action and Partnership” category award for its “i sea, i care” school ambassador program at the 2013 Victorian Coastal Awards for Excellence. The “i sea, i care” program promotes the message that marine ecosystems and species are “too precious to lose”. Its ambassador program visits schools to spread the message and recruit student educators to help classmates understand how the actions of those living near marine areas can put marine life at risk. Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir said the program exists thanks to the support of many partners, including the City of Kingston, which shared the award with the institute as a leading council partner. Many Kingston area schools have participated in the program. “We are very proud of our young ambassadors and our wonderful team,” Mr Weir said. The Victorian Coastal Awards for Excellence are awarded by the Victorian Coastal Council, which provides advice to the Minister for Environment and Climate Change Ryan Smith on the strategic planning and management of the Victorian coast. Mr Smith presented the award to Mr Weir and Dolphin Research Institute education director Mandy Robertson at a function held at Melbourne Museum.
Reward: The Dolphin Research Institute’s executive director Jeff Weir and education director Mandy Robertson at the Victorian Coastal Awards.
Never to young to learn By Barry Irving EACH time Jacob’s mother drove past the metal sheds at the corner of Hinton Ave and Boneo Rd, she wondered why so many cars were gathered there. Finally one day she stopped to inquire. On venturing inside she discovered a group of men and women who met several times a week to learn woodworking skills and enjoy each other’s company. As Jacob had already expressed a desire to become a builder when he grew up, his mum asked if a 12 year old could join the group. As it turned out, he could indeed and the Boneo Primary School pupil was promptly assigned a mentor.
Rob has spent the past six to eight months teaching young Jacob how to use the tools and the safety measures needed to protect himself and others while making a number of items. So far Jacob has made a foot stool, a toolbox and a birdhouse for the garden. He is now finishing a surfboard wall-hanger that will have a clock mechanism mounted in it. Jacob is the first young person to join the group but others are welcome. The woodworkers conduct a number of skillbased workshops including: wood carving of rocking horses and dolphins, toy making, wood turning and cabinet making. New members are always welcome. Contact club president John Bayliss on 5986 2231.
Traffic lights for off-ramp THE state government will spend $480,000 to install traffic lights at the intersection of Mornington Peninsula Freeway off-ramp and Nepean Highway at Dromana. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said in the five years to December 2012, there have been eight crashes including one fatality and three serious injuries at the intersection. The money will come from the government’s Safer Road Infrastructure Program. He said the lights would “reduce the likelihood of motorists turning right from the off-ramp and failing to give way to eastbound traffic”. The work would start early next year and be completed in June.
Airmen’s tales THE extraordinary deeds of Australian airmen during the Second World War will be discussed at a lecture at Rosebud RSL next week. Author, broadcaster and performer Michael Veitch will present a talk entitled Fly: Australian Airmen of the Second World War as part of a Shrine of Remembrance regional lecture series. Over three years, Veitch interviewed more than 60 former Second World War airmen and recorded their stories of flying, combat and survival, largely for the first time, compiling the material in two books. The lecture is at Rosebud RSL, 117 Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud, at 5.30pm on Tuesday 24 September. Entry is free, although a gold coin donation is welcome. For more information visit www. shrine.org.au or call 9661 8100 or email reception@shrine.org.au
Super vehicle: Leading Senior Constable Teresa Baker was joined by the dynamic crime fighting duo Batman and Robin to inspect the new vehicle.
New police vehicle to tackle all terrain ROSEBUD police have taken delivery of a new all-terrain vehicle. This is the second such vehicle to be used to expand police patrols around peninsula beaches. The new vehicle will start being used for patrols early in the summer season and is hoped will give police a more visable profile as they patrol the highly popular camping areas along the foreshore. The new vehicle was on display for the first time at the emergency services morning held at Rosebud Bunnings store on Saturday.

EPA came, saw and concurred – but will VCAT? COMMENT By David Harrison THIS is a magnificent, resounding win for the Mornington Peninsula community on all fronts. A foolish plan has been chucked in the rubbish tin and the lid has been slammed shut. The proposal to use a beautiful landscape feature – the worked-out Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment – as a tip was nonsensical, unnecessary and a blot on the reputation of the Ross Trust, which claims to protect the environment. That some shire staff and councillors advocated for it in whispers behind their hands is disgraceful. “Don’t forget you are the Environment Protection Authority!� a heckler had yelled during the EPA’s community meeting on 14 August, to enthusiastic applause from the hundreds of antitip protesters at Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington. And the EPA didn’t forget – perhaps somewhat overwhelmed at the memory of that huge, passionate turnout and the diligent and detailed rebuttals to the proposal Peninsula Preservation Group put to the meeting. Both the EPA and spokesmen for the proponent, Peninsula Waste Management, a Ross Trust subsidiary, looked shell-shocked as the meeting proceeded and protesters chopped to pieces PWM’s inadequate case for the tip. The EPA has found that “the Dromana landfill proposal does not comply with a number of threshold issues around groundwater, construction design and management, the need for a landfill and consistency with applica-
ble policies administered by EPA under the Act�. It concluded: “The authority therefore determines that the application should be refused.� It cites the precautionary principle – now gaining prominence as climate change lifts the sea level and brings the world floods, droughts and wild storms – to conclude that “the proposed additional design measures and management measures ... are not sufficient to comply with� EPA requirements. The EPA decision will be a huge blow to the Ross Trust. It was planning to use profits from the tip to fund its other activities. Rumour had it the trust would have sold the tip if the go-ahead had been granted. The trust may now appeal against the EPA refusal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, whose track record of approving developments, including a contentious tip in Kealba, near Sunshine, might give it comfort. Alternatively, it could approach the state government to take the property off its hands for a reasonable consideration, to be added to Arthurs Seat State Park, which surrounds the quarry site. Any government with vision and entrepreneurial flair would see the possibilities for recreation – picnics, concerts, sport – that this site fair shouts “recreation� at visitors. Governments in the shadow of an election (November 2014) can become remarkably rational, logical and generous to shore up support, especially those dangling by a thread like the Liberal-Nationals Coalition led by Premier Denis Napthine. And speaking of politicians, it was

indeed pleasant to receive a media release from local MP Martin Dixon, until now remarkably and unnaturally invisible on the subject of the tip. He leapt into print to welcome the EPA decision “as a great result for the local community�. It was all the doing of the state government, he trilled proudly. “Under new landfill guidelines we recently introduced, the EPA ruled there is now no need for a further landfill in this area.� So hasty was Mr Dixon to speak

out that he released the EPA decision ahead of the EPA’s official announcement and then tried to impose an embargo on his media release. And so hasty was he that he administered a kick to the shire – possibly out of ignorance. “In addition,� his media release read, “the Victorian Coalition Government recently decided to close the Mornington Peninsula Waste Management Group and then merge it with greater Melbourne’s waste management network.

“The result of this merger means there are now more metropolitan waste disposal options open to the Mornington Peninsula.� This is a most sensitive subject with the shire. Did Mr Dixon not know this, and not know that a bevy of shire staff and councillors had urgently visited Melbourne to try to head off the waste amalgamation plan? Has he blown their chances?

Error sees early release of news NEPEAN MP Martin Dixon’s office appears to have stolen the thunder of Environment Minister Ryan Smith over the proposed Dromana quarry tip or landfill. On Friday at 10am, Mr Dixon’s office emailed the media with news that the Environment Protection Authority had rejected the application. Soon after, media outlets, including The News, received phone calls from Russell Joseph, one of Mr Dixon’s electorate officers, saying the media release was embargoed until 3pm and asking if we could sit on it. This was confirmed by an email sent at 10.42am by Mr Joseph. But the cat was out of the bag and peninsula reporters had already started making calls to various par-
ties involved in the matter, including tip proponent Peninsula Waste Management and lead objector Peninsula Preservation Group. At 11.34am, Mr Joseph sent a third email: “Please note that I have received advice from the minister’s office that the earlier embargo on Mr Dixon’s media release has been lifted and the EPA decision and various other documentation is now available for download.” The News understands Ryan Smith’s office called Mr Dixon’s office complaining about the mistaken release of the EPA decision. Mr Joseph told The News Mr Dixon’s office had not been told about the embargo until after the media release had been sent. Mike Hast
In the decision, posted on the EPA’s website on Friday, the agency stated the tip did not comply with the state government’s Waste Management Policy 2004 on “the siting, design and management of the landfill”. The plan was “inconsistent with the objectives, principles and approach of the Victorian government’s new waste and resource recovery policy and EPA statutory policy”. “In addition, the location of the ... site does not align with the modelling undertaken by MWMG [Melbourne Waste Management Group] and Sustainability Victoria on the optimum locations for strategic hubs,” the EPA said. This is a reference to a recently announced state government plan, Getting Full Value, for “an integrated, statewide waste management and resource recovery system that provides an essential community service by protecting the environment and public health, maximising the productive value of resources, and minimising long-term costs to households, industry and government”. The government wants to establish hubs where municipal waste can be sorted into recyclables and green waste converted into mulch to reduce the amount going to tips, or landfills. The Pioneer quarry site does not have enough space for such a hub. The government is cutting the state’s 12 regional waste groups to six and forcing the peninsula waste group to join the Melbourne metro group. Peninsula Preservation Group president Jacinta Banks said the group applauded the EPA’s decision but this was “a round one victory only”.
There would be more organised community opposition if PWM appealed the EPA decision in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, she said. “The landfill plan was flawed and this is why there was such a high level of opposition,” she said. Ms Banks said the group hoped Peninsula Waste Management and Ross Trust “would abide by the umpire’s decision and not challenge the EPA decision in the tribunal as Ross Trust trustee Ian Vaughan stated on 3AW on 7 September”. Ms Banks held out an olive branch to Ross Trust: “PPG and the wider community acknowledge the charitable generosity of the Ross Trust, and would welcome a quick resolution of the matter, which would maintain their good reputation, rather than a protracted battle that would inevitably cause further community angst”. Nepean MP Martin Dixon welcomed the EPA decision and said it was “a great result for the local community”. Mr Dixon, whose electorate covers the tip site, said the EPA had based its “decision on recent changes” to state government policy. “Under new landfill guidelines we recently introduced, the EPA has ruled there is now no need for a further landfill in this area.” Mr Dixon said the government’s decision to close the peninsula’s waste management group and merge it with greater Melbourne’s waste network meant “there are now more metropolitan waste disposal options open to the Mornington Peninsula”. “I am very pleased these new government policies have led to this decision,
which is consistent with the overwhelming wishes of both our local and broader community.” Flinders federal MP Greg Hunt, the nation’s new environment minister, said he was “pleased that community concerns about the need for a tip at Arthurs Seat have been heeded”. “Consolidating landfill in key regional locations makes a huge amount of sense,” he said. “Taking a regional approach to landfill means waste can be consolidated at the most appropriate location, regardless of municipal boundaries [and] we can achieve the best environmental outcomes possible.” Peninsula Waste Management said it was “perplexed by the decision”. PWM chairman Ian Vaughan said the quarry had been listed as a replacement for Rye landfill by Mornington Peninsula Region Waste Management plan and had been “endorsed by the EPA”. He said the EPA had rejected a “practical, lowest-cost solution … in favour of an as yet unidentified solution”. Without the quarry “waste will have to be transported long distances and there will have to be a transfer station on the peninsula for kerbside collection vehicles”. The station would cost $10-15 million to construct. Peninsula residents would have to pay more than $60 a tonne extra to take rubbish to landfill once the Hampton Park landfill closed and this would see rate rises, he said. “We will try to understand the reasoning behind the EPA’s decision and then consider our options,” Mr Vaughan said. PWM has 60 days to appeal the EPA decision.

Threat to water security grows By Chris Brennan THE Mornington Peninsula faces growing risk of flooding and increased threats to water security unless significant improvements to water management practices are made, shire councillors were told last week. The shire’s latest water management plan, which was presented at last week’s council meeting, warns that without further investment in new sources of water, current efficiency programs would “fail to provide water security for the community past the next decade”. Councillors voted to endorse the release of the 2013-2017 Draft Smart Water Plan for public comment for a period of six weeks to ensure it “represents community expectation for sustainable water management into the future”. The draft plan states that, with a growing population, increased tourism, changes to land use practices and climate change pressures, traditional water supply solutions were not sufficient to provide adequate water security. “Without actively addressing water management issues, the peninsula is likely to become increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of reduced potable [drinking] water availability, increased susceptibility to flood events and urban heat island impacts, and environmental degredation of waterways, beaches and other natural assets.” Key targets contained in the draft
plan include a 30 per cent reduction in the shire’s 2010 potable water consumption, a 20 per cent reduction in groundwater use, and a doubling of council investment in water quality treatment measures. The plan, which was prepared by the shire’s renewable resources department team leader, aims to ensure the shire maintains its position as a leader in sustainable water management practices. “The Shire’s Draft Smart Water Plan sets the trajectory for achieving bestpractice environmental protection of waterways and bays, while integrating whole of water cycle management objectives,” a report prepared for council accompanying the draft plan states. “Mornington Peninsula Shire is considered a leader in sustainable water management within the industry. “With significant commitment to key projects such as the Boneo Recycled Water Scheme, the Mornington Community Recycled Scheme and strong advocacy for groundwater protection in the Nepean Aquifer, the shire has successfully continued to lead by example in sustainable water management. “The shire has also reduced its water consumption by 52 per cent since 2001 and has implemented more than 100 water sensitive urban design assets, which improve the quality of stormwater entering the bays and waterways. “The Draft Smart Water Plan integrates existing sustainable water management plans that were integral to these achievements since 2001.”
Curtain closer: IKARII bandmates Riki Platt, left, Mike Power, Sean Marsh and Tim Haberfield are set to play one last series of concerts and release an new album before leaving the stage as a group.
IKARII bows out with new notes THE Frankston and Mornington Peninsula-based rock band IKARII is breaking up. The group’s four members made the announcement to their Facebook friends last week. “After seven years of playing music in IKARII with three people who have become my closest friends, I have decided it is time to move on and embrace other aspects of life,” guitarist Mike Power wrote in a letter to fans. “After telling the guys, they all agreed that if I left they wouldn't

replace me as it wouldn’t be the same IKARII.” The timing of the split comes as the band – Power, Sean Marsh (guitar, vocals), Riki Platt (drums) and Tim Haberfield (bass) – was about to release a new album recorded and written over the past two years. The ironically titled Never is a Long Time, due in early October, will still be released and coincide with what will now be a farewell tour. “We are definitely still releasing the album and have never been more excited to do so,” Power said. “These

THE result of five months of work has been unveiled in Flinders. Embroidery on the banner created by members of Flinders Country Group features the pier, sand, boats, birds and cliffs they see every month when working from Flinders Yacht Club. The group operates under the Embroiderers Guild of Victoria. The banner was designed by Pam Edwards, with inspiration for the
smaller tiles coming from photos taken from the yacht club. Ina Stephan attached the borders and created the background and seagulls before the tiles were attached. Lacemaker Mardie Akers created the Flinders GC lettering. Flinders Country Group meets on the first Monday each month. For details call Elizabeth Rowe on 5986 3220.

Youngster’s fall draws needed attention TWO-year-old Pippa Nyssen spent unexpected time in hospital after falling and bumping her head at her Mt Eliza home. Pippa’s mother Corinne Nyssen was scared when she found Pippa with a large blue bump on the top of her head. Ms Nyssen and her husband realised she was starting to go to sleep and, concerned that she may be suffering from concussion, called an ambulance. “I had done a first aid course when Pippa was three months old through KidzAid,� Ms Nyssen said. “While I was really worried that she might have seriously hurt herself, I remembered them saying that if you are unsure, call an ambulance. “You can always cancel an ambulance but you can’t call one if it’s too late.� After the ambulance arrived, paramedics decided to take Pippa to Frankston Hospital’s emergency department for a further examination and observation. Hospital staff assessed Pippa in the paediatric room and diagnosed her as having a moderate head injury. She was moved to the short stay ward for further observation. “The staff kept me informed the whole time I was there,� Ms Nyssen said. “It was a real educational experience too, I learnt when to administer Panadol and they provided me with additional information on head injuries.� Pippa is making a speedy recovery. When asked what advice she would give to oter parents in a similar situation, Ms Nyssen said: “Ask

questions when you are in the hospital. They will always be happy to answer you and often you will find useful information that you never knew. “One of the questions I asked was
‘what symptoms would I look for to identify if she was concussed?’ These questions also put your mind at ease. We have to remember [young children] have no voice [and] we as their parents are their only advocate.�

Friends rally behind Jayden By Keith Platt THIS time last year, Jayden Davies was preparing to play grand finals for the Frankston Dolphins under-15 and under-16 teams. There was a bit of pain in his chest, but this came from a benign osteoblastoma tumour doctors had diagnosed on one of his ribs. Between November 2012 and March this year, Jayden played cricket for Baden Powell, although pain from the tumour limited his bowling. In April surgeons removed the rib and tumour, providing pain relief for Jayden and giving him the all-clear to again play sport. However, in late June and early July the now 17-year-old experienced pain in his knees. Specialists at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre conducted more tests, which revealed new tumours caused by the aggressive bone cancer osteocarcoma. Tumours were found in Jayden’s knee, pelvic bone and chest. “The news came to us with a thud; it was a big shock and there are days now when we feel pretty ordinary,� Jayden’s father Lindsay told The News. “They told us it couldn’t be cured; there were too many bones involved. “Jayden is a very tough boy who’s endured a lot of pain and is inspiring a lot of people.� A fundraiser in Mornington last week to allow Mr Davies and his wife Tahlea to spend more time with their

some of the pain and is helping keep him mobile.� Before being struck by the illness, Jayden had completed year 10 at Frankston High School and was enrolled with Sport Education Development Australia with hopes of

becoming a teacher or having a role in sports management. In late July he was thrilled to spend “a very special day� meeting many of his football heroes at a Richmond training session arranged by one of the Mt Eliza Football Club coaches. However uncertain the future, Mr Davies is grateful and overwhelmed by the efforts being made by so many people to help Jayden. He had been reluctant to seek help from the public, but friends had persuaded him that there were many people who would like to contribute. A storeman with a Springvale company, Mr Davies said his employer was sympathetic to his plight and would allow him to spend more time with Jayden if it was financially possible. “We don’t know what the future holds, but Jayden is very strong and determined. He struggles with pain and the effects of medications and treatments, but he doesn’t complain.� Anyone who would like to help Jayden and the Davies family can go to www.facebook.com/ jaydendaviessupport or call Michelle Roberts on 0478 082 646.

All shipshape for maritime centre By Graham White THE Victorian Maritime Centre in Hastings has officially taken possession of its second ship with the historic MV Wyuna joining the submarine HMAS Otama as marquee attractions. Western Australian businesswoman and mining investor Gillian Swaby handed over Wyuna before an audience of 80 volunteers and supporters at the museum’s headquarters in Crib Point on Friday night. Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden described the gift as “more than the gift of a ship; it is an economic boost to a deserving community”. Cr Bowden predicted the twin attractions of Otama and Wyuna, backed by onshore displays, would make Hastings a tourism destination in its own right, drawing thousands into a “delightful seaside community that too many now bypass”. Wyuna is being overhauled in Launceston before the voyage to Hastings where she will be temporarily moored until the new museum is built adjacent to Western Port Marina. Victorian Maritime Centre project spokesman Max Bryant said the ship would provide the centre with more than just another historic attraction: she is capable of sleeping 70 and would be ideal for live-in education programs. The 1800-tonne Wyuna has an indelible place in Victorian maritime history. Originally envisaged as a sister ship to the Royal Yacht Britannia, she was reconfigured as a seagoing pilot
All aboard: Lyn Beaumont, Rebecca Hamersley, Max Bryant, Gillian Swaby, shire mayor Cr Lynn Bowden, Wyuna model-maker Brian Wastell and partner Rosey Kendall, and Bill Barber with a model of the ship at Western Port Oberon Association’s information centre in Crib Point on Friday night.

ship at the behest of the Victorian government. For almost two decades after her completion in 1952 she met new arrivals off Port Phillip Heads and sent pilots aboard to guide them into Melbourne. When it was decided a small vessel might do the job cheaper, Wyuna became a training vessel for a generation of Australian merchant seamen.
Later she was bought by mining magnate (and now would-be politician) Clive Palmer to be used as a floating hotel for one of his Queensland projects. This did not go ahead and Wyuna was acquired by another mining company with which Ms Swaby has an association. When they learned of the ship’s history and her long links with Victoria,

the museum project team approached Ms Swaby to see if they might acquire the vessel. Impressed by the project and by the volunteer support that has brought it to this point, Ms Swaby agreed not only to donate the ship but also to provide help in restoring it to seagoing condition for the journey to Hastings. Legal formalities began in Melbourne last week for the transfer of
ownership and Ms Swaby travelled to Crib Point on Friday to make the formal presentation. Thanking Ms Swaby, Western Port Chamber of Commerce chief Lisa Dixon said the gift would be an enduring legacy to a town that had thrown its support behind the museum project to enhance the region’s tourism appeal and would create a much-needed additional strand of prosperity.

Hospital unit named for officer THE memory of a 33-year-old policeman killed while on duty at Oliver’s Hill will live on with an emergency resuscitation unit at Frankston Hospital named in his honour. First Constable Edward Keith Simmons was on patrol when his motorcycle ran off the Nepean Hwy at Oliver’s Hill on Christmas Eve in 1957 and struck a fence, killing him instantly. The Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation and its peninsula branch donated $100,000 to buy equipment for the Edward Simmons Emergency Resuscitation Unit. The family of Constable Simmons, including his two children Andrew and Catherine who were aged two and four, at the time of their father’s death, attended a dedication ceremony naming the unit at Frankston Hospital last week.
Andrew Simmons spoke at the ceremony and said his father’s death devastated his then 31-year-old mother, June. He said he sadly did not remember his father, but his mother often talked about him as “her hero”. His mother died 18 years ago and her final resting place is with her late husband at Frankston cemetery. “Never would we imagine that 55 years after dad’s death we would be honouring him,” Mr Simmons said. “I know that you have a good man watching over you.” Blue Ribbon Foundation peninsula president Darryl Nation said the organisation was proud to see the unit in the emergency department named after First Constable Simmons. “Symbolically, it puts First Constable Sim-
mons back on duty and serving his local community,” Mr Nation said. The $100,000 raised by Blue Ribbon will fund three glidescopes for the hospital. They are used by medical staff to see a real-time view of a patient’s airways when inserting breathing tubes. Peninsula Health board of directors chair Nancy Hogan acknowledged the great community work done by the Blue Ribbon Foundation. “This dedication is a permanent reminder of the work and sacrifice of our police members,” Ms Hogan said. The annual Police Blue Ribbon Day, commemorating Victoria Police officers who have died on duty while serving their community will be held on Sunday 29 September.

Analog TV is being switched off in Melbourne and surrounding areas on 10 December 2013*
Kilmore Macedon
Marysville

The areas shaded maroon above show where the analog TV signals will be switched off on 10 December 2013*. After this date, these areas will receive digital-only signals. If you haven’t already done so, you need to get ready for digital-only TV.
How do I tell if I have digital TV? If you can see ABC2, SBS TWO, GO!, 7TWO or Eleven, you are digital ready and don’t need to do anything.
If I can’t see those channels, what do I have to do? Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner. Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to. Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling. If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.
Get ready for digital TV today. *Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about the switchover dates. See the website for more information.

By Jacqueline Conquest A GROWING number of separating families are choosing family lawyers to help them work together rather than fight. The breakdown of a significant relationship is one of the most difficult experiences in life. Separating couples are faced with the challenge of trying to deal with the emotions and conflict that comes with relationship breakdown while trying to work out what’s best for their children and how to reallocate finances. It’s a difficult task for anyone and sorting out the issues usually requires the help of a family lawyer. Given the emotional complexities of family separation, and the impact of conflict on children, a growing number of separating families are now seeking family lawyers who practice collaboratively to help them manage their separation. Collaborative practice means lawyers help separating families to work together (or collaboratively) to work out children and financial issues during this emotionally difficult time. Collaborative practice is an alternative to traditional legal practice and not all family lawyers practice this way. Traditional legal practice is adversarial in nature. This means that each lawyer and their client is “opposed” to the other. The bigger picture of what’s best for the separating family as a whole is lost. Unresolved conflict between parents is extremely damaging for children. The impact of conflict on children and family relationships is made worse when parties are locked in a bitter, adversarial battle over entitlements. In collaborative practice, the lawyers are not “hired guns” to battle it out in court. Rather, lawyers work together to help clients focus on the bigger picture of what’s best for themselves and their children now and into the future. Collaborative practice is wholistic and draws on the resources of other professionals in the community where needed to assist the separating couple. Mediators, psychologists and health care workers can be involved in the process to assist with managing conflict, enhancing communication between the parties, and mediating aspects of the dispute. They can also help with parenting issues. The benefits to families of collaborative practice are that separating families have the opportunity to make best use of the resources available to them to achieve beneficial outcomes, rather than on wasting resources fighting legal battles. The outcome of the separation process results in court orders or a financial agreement or parenting plan. The important point for couples is to know in most cases they have a choice about which process they want to use and what sort of lawyer they want to engage. Jacqueline Conquest is an accredited family law specialist, collaborative lawyer and founding principal of Walls Bridges at Southern Partners in Mornington.

November reopening for aquatic centre cafe By Keith Platt THE former Waterfront Cafe near Hastings pier is about to reopen with a new name and new managers. The Pelikan Societe will continue to serve breakfast and lunch, but with a new menu and possibly afternoon functions. Mornington Peninsula Shire last week agreed to lease the cafe – part of Pelican Park Recreation Centre – to Toula Bradshaw and Michael Greener. They will continue to run their Cafe Villa, in Langhorne St, Dandenong, Mr Greener told The News. The $70,000-a-year lease includes GST, equipment and furniture, although Mr Greener said new tables and chairs would be brought in as part of an upgrade. He said they planned to open Pelikan Societe on Friday 8 November “or earlier if possible”. The previous tenant walked away from the business in July, citing the annual $96,000 a year rent as being too high. Scott Elks, who was also running Western Port Hotel, had been leasing the Waterfront Cafe for just on a year and wanted the rent reduced. He said he gave up asking after being repeatedly promised by council officers that councillors would be told of his request.
Food coming up: A new cafe will soon be serving coffee and meals at the aquatic centre opposite the pier at Hastings. The Pelikan Societe will replace Waterfront Cafe, which closed in July, one year after opening.
“But it was not listed on any agenda and that’s what tipped me over the edge,” Mr Elks said at the time. Councillors last week agreed to grant a 21-year lease to Ms Bradshaw and Mr Greener. They were given immediate access to the cafe with assurances they could recoup up to $15,000 in expenses if the
deal fell through after being advertised for four weeks. Granting immediate access to the new tenants was designed to allow them to complete an upgrade and open as soon as the four-week advertising period ended. Mr Greener said the menu had yet to be worked out with the chef “but we’ve got some great ideas”.
“We’ll have a totally different menu. It will be wholesome food and there will be a lot of changes to the cafe, which is looking a bit tired.” The dispute between the shire and Mr Elks led to the loss of four full-time jobs and six to 10 casual positions. Mr Greener said he would “play it by ear” on staffing, although Pelikan Soci-
ete could have six to eight staff. Under the terms of the new lease, Mr Greener and Ms Bradshaw will not face a rent review for three years and then in years seven, 10, 13, 16 and 19. Councillors voted to make their decision on the lease public but kept a related report secret.
Fringe councils call for transport billions By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has backed a call for urgent investment in outer suburban public transport and roads. The request was made in state Auditor-General John Doyle’s report “Developing Transport Infrastructure and Services for Population Growth Areas”. Mr Doyle called on the state government to spend $18 billion over the next 30 years, saying liveability in greater Melbourne would be at risk without urgent action to address transport infrastructure in outer areas.
His call has been backed by Interface Councils, 10 municipalities that form a ring around metropolitan Melbourne and include the shire and neighbours City of Casey. Over the next 15 years, interface areas will accommodate 60 per cent of metropolitan population growth – about 650,000 more people. Mr Doyle’s report blamed successive state governments for failing to build transport infrastructure in Melbourne’s growth corridors. He said without action, there would be a continuing increase in “traffic
congestion at significant community cost” and a risk to productivity and liveability. Delaying transport measures would only increase the cost. Interface Councils spokesman and Whittlesea mayor Cr Rex Griffin said the report confirmed the long-held position of the group that “the state has failed to deliver the transport infrastructure and services needed to support rapidly growing communities”. Deficiencies were increasing car dependence, pollution and exacerbating traffic congestion at significant community cost, he said.
This limited state productivity and the time people can spend with their families. “Why should there be $1 billion just for the Regional Growth Fund when the greatest growth is happening in the ring of municipalities around metropolitan Melbourne? “It is time for the state government to create a pipeline of guaranteed funding for Melbourne’s seven ‘growth’ municipalities and appoint a Minister for Growth Areas to ensure residents in the booming outer suburbs have access to core services and infrastructure too.”
The councils have called for “a significant ongoing annual commitment to bring identified priority bus routes up to minimum service levels”. Residents of Interface Councils had half the access to public transport routes of those living in metro Melbourne. “By 2026, 63 per cent residential interface households will not have a bus route within 400 metres of the property, an increase of 15 per cent from today,” Cr Griffin said. He said the Auditor-General’s report showed the critical need for heavy rail services to growth areas.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Thief makes off with daily takings, local properties in great demand Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 20 September 1913. THE Criminal Investigation department was informed early on Thursday morning that a bag answering the description of the one which was stolen from Epsom racecourse on Wednesday, together with the day’s takings, totalling between £700 and £800, had been recovered. The discovery was made by a Mr Thomas, who lives at “Koonwarra,” St. Kilda Road. The bag, which has been identified by the club officials, was lying open in a right of way off Commercial road, Prahran. Needless to say, the bag was minus the cash which it had contained on the previous day. Several detectives are engaged in investigating the mystery, but suspicion cannot be fastened upon any individual, and as the stolen money is not identifiable it seems more than probable that the thief or thieves will go undetected. *** THE demand for properties in Mornington is still very great. During last week, the following lots changed hands:- Mrs Auld’s cottage in Tanti road was purchased by Mrs Lewis, who also bought Mrs Bradford’s house in Waterloo Place. Mr T. Coxhell disposed of his cottage, at the corner of Queen Street, to Mr Easterby, all at satisfactory prices. Several building allotments have also changed hands. Mr R. Ford, grain merchant has sold his business, in Main Street, to Mr Blacker, who will take possession in the middle of October. *** MR Geo. A. Parrett, dentist, of 233, Toorak Road, South Yarra, noti-
fies that he visits Mornington every Monday, and may be consulted at the Pharmacy. *** OWING to the absence of Messrs A. Millard and A. Thomas, two of the leading players of the Frankston Brass Band, the band will not be able to play out for about three weeks. *** MR T. Sage met with a very painful accident on Tuesday. While riding one horse and leading a young one, the led animal suddenly pulled back, and nearly tore his thumb off. *** A WORKING bee did great work at the Somerville show ground lately, under the leadership of President C. Grant. Over 100 young pine trees were planted along the east and north sides of the ground. *** THE annual ball in connection with the Frankston tennis club will take place on Wednesday evening next. Elaborate preparations are being made, and everything points to a most successful evening. Tickets may be obtained at 3s for gents and 2s for ladies. *** THE names of Mrs O’Grady, and Misses Hogan and Brody were inadvertently omitted from the list of assistants in our report in last week’s issue of the Frankston Brass Band bazaar. These ladies worked hard, and rendered valuable assistance, to the bazaar committee. *** BY an advertisement in this issue it is notified that Major Chas W. Camp bell has arranged with Mr H. C. Dannevig, Director of Fisheries, to give a
lecture, illustrated with lantern slides, on fish life, in the Mechanics’ Hall, Mornington, on a date to be fixed in October, due notice of which a will be given. *** THE annual meeting of the Frankston Horticultural and Agricultural Association will be held in the local hall on Tuesday evening next, at 8 o’clock. The business of the meeting will be to receive balance sheet and report, election of officers and committee, and any other necessary business. A full attendance is requested. *** THE Somerville Fruitgrowers’ Association are planting ornamental trees, around their ground in Somerville. This Association is a lively body, and its president and secretary, with their committee, are always on the qui vive for anything that will tend toward the beautification of their grounds or the advancement of the society generally. *** MR W, Hayes, sanitary expert, submitted to us an automatic disinfecting and hermitically sealing W. C. cover, a most effective sanitary contrivance, which is rightly called a necessity and not a luxury. The formula will destroy all obnoxious odours, and a fly or mosquito will not enter the pan thus installed. Orders may be booked at Brody and Mason’s, Frankston, where a sample can be seen and all particulars supplied. The price comes within reach of every householder. *** IT is with the deepest feeling of regret we record the death of Mrs W. White, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Wilson, of Mornington, which took place at Mrs Thompson’s private
hospital on Saturday afternoon last. The deceased was only 25 years of age, and a native of Mornington. The sad news came as a great shock to her many friends, as only a few days previous she, in company with her husband, journeyed to Melbourne, to see Mr Andrew White, who is in ill health. Great sympathy is felt for Mr White, who is left with two young children. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, and was largely attended. *** WE have secured the agency in the Peninsula for Lonsdale and Bartholomew’s beautiful “Art” series of Private Xmas Cards. A sample book will be on view at our office, and inspection is invited. Prices range from 4s a dozen upwards. *** WHILE riding Stripe in the Hurdle Race at the Wangaratta Turf Club Show Races on Thursday, C. Clarke, of Frankston, was thrown heavily, owing to his mount falling. He was picked up in an unconscious state, suffering from slight concussion, but an hour later he was recovered sufficiently to be removed to town. *** THE annual rally of the various branches of Christian Endeavours on the Peninsula was held in the Frankston Methodist Church on Thursday evening. Notwithstanding the showery nature of the evening there was a good attendance, representatives being present from Somerville, Hastings, Langwarrin and Mornington. Rev R. Jackson conducted the meeting. Greetings were received from the Somerville, Hastings, Langwarrin, Red Hill, Morning-
ton, and Mordialloc branches. Rev J. F. Butler, of Mornington, gave an interesting address on the “Definition of Christian,” and harmony was rendered by Misses Twining, Croskell, and Messrs Reed and C. Ellis. Miss O. Sherlock presided at the organ. The secretary (Mr Ellis) read his report, which showed that good success had been made during the year. Previous to dispersal the visitors were hospitably entertained by the local branch, which concluded a most pleasant evening’s entertainment. *** AFTER months of hard travelling over roads that were mainly bad and often non-existent, the Country Road Board has completed its inspection of Gippsland, which was undertaken to enable the board to draw up its plans for road construction and maintenance in that territory which has been so greatly neglected in regard to road facilities. Mr W. Calder, the chairman of the board, yesterday discussed with Mr Hagelthorn the schedules and maps prepared. Mr Hagelthorn suggested to Mr Calder, that before sending out the schedules to the municipalities for consideration, the board should work out an estimate of cost, lest after approval of the schedules it should be found that the work in Gippsland would absorb an undue proportion of the amount available for expenditure on the roads of the State. It is proposed to expend in the next five years a sum of £2,000,000 on road construction, and £2,000,000 on maintenance. The board is completing surveys for urgent work in Gippaland. in order that provision may be made in the estimates for its commencement.

Riding Develops Abilities (RDA) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rotary Project The Rotary Club of Dromana is hoping to obtain a Matching District Grant when Rotary Foundation Funds are allocated soon. The project, for which an application has been submitted, is to support Western Port RDA, which runs a horse riding program, each Saturday for disadvantaged children. The venue is the Woollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Road Equestrian Reserve at Crib Point. Currently they have nine riders and twenty volunteers.

Currently our riders in wheelchairs are not able to access the tack room to get their own equipment out, our tack room runs next to a path that is used on other days so it would be required to be a portable ramp to Australian Standards for wheelchair accessibility. 2. Update on existing ramp into the club rooms. Currently we are not able to use the clubrooms as the existing ramp has a gradient that is to steep for wheel chair access.
3. Equipment for Trail Practice. Our centre focuses on the western riding discipline and we have a team that is starting to compete at western events. One of the events is called trail and to practice this we require a portable stand alone gate that the riders have to open, walk through and close on horse back. 4. We also require a portable low wooden bridge for the horses to walk over.

She helps to brush, wash and tack up the horse and mounts from our new wheelchair on the mounting ramp. Her goals with riding are to be able to ride on her own and be able to ride in a saddle. She also want to strengthen her body so that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wear her second skin body suit all the time.

Everybody wants to twerk (but me) By Stuart McCullough SO it has come to this – mankind’s endless quest to discover what lies beyond the bottom of the barrel has given us ‘twerking’. Never again will we be forced to ‘flash mob’, go ‘planking’ or perform the Harlem Shake because now we have something even stupider to do. Yes, it seems the fickle finger of fate is both pointed skywards and surrounded by two other fingers on either side as the letters ‘I’ and ‘Q’ are officially removed from the alphabet, pending a review. Where did it all go wrong? I’ve nothing against dancing. Indeed, I’m one of the few people I know who owns a copy of Footloose on both VHS and Betamax. If that doesn’t sound convincing, you should know that I frequently wear leg warmers to work on days other than casual Friday and take the notion of cutting the rug so seriously that I never go anywhere without scissors. But despite my passion for dancing, I cannot abide the appalling social phenomenon that is to ‘twerk.’ That said, at least the name is apt. One thing I love about dancing is that the moves are often appropriately named. ‘The Twist’ is exactly as it sounds. So too ‘the Jerk’. Sure, things start to get a little hazy around ‘The Bus Stop’ and the less said about ‘The Mashed Potato’ the better, but no system is infallible. However, for all the controversy it attracts, we can at least say that ‘twerking’ is the perfect name, because anyone doing it looks like a complete and utter twerk. Apparently, twerking has taken social media by storm. By ‘storm’ I don’t
mean a few drops of rain and a puff of breeze but, rather, the kind of deluge that destroys umbrellas and ruins your guttering. Many people have been quick to point the big foam finger in the direction of Miley Cyrus, but those people are simply twerks-come-lately who don’t understand the complex history of twerking. To grasp this most heinous of phenomena, it’s necessary to go right back to the beginning. For those unfamiliar with this particular dance style, let me come right out and say it’s a long way from the foxtrot. It is, however, probably the biggest dance phenomenon we’ve seen since Peter Andre’s Funky Junky swept across Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs in 1993. To ‘twerk’ involves a dancer moving his or her hips
in a vigorous motion in order to cause their buttocks to wobble like a plate of day-old jelly. Granted, right now it looks somewhat shocking, but in fifty years time, couples will be twerking at their weddings. The earliest recorded twerk was in June 1776, when noted polymath Benjamin Franklin first performed the controversial dance during a break from drafting the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was heard to remark at the time: “Some things, once seen, can never be unseen”. Indeed, a fear that Ben Franklin might have a couple of sherries and twerk some more helped ensure the Declaration remained a relatively concise document. Naturally enough, the practice had
spread to Europe by the early nineteenth century. Mostly it was act performed in the dingiest and most squalid of public houses, where liquor ran freely and buttocks shook into the small hours. For that reason, it remained something of an underground movement until in 1838 it threatened to break in to the broader public consciousness. The original draft of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens had the eponymous hero’s request for “more” greeted with a severe outbreak of twerking by Mr Bumble. Thankfully, the scene was excised from the novel and the dance remained largely unknown. Sadly, not everyone showed as much restraint as Charles Dickens. Steadily, twerking garnered public acceptance
until, last century, it officially entered the mainstream. In 1951, Melbourne’s first Moomba Festival contained a twerking competition until it was replaced by the Birdman Rally in 1965. It was also the official exhibition sport at the Helsinki Olympic Games in 1952 (with Liechtenstein beating out traditional rivals, Freedonia for the gold medal) and used by Henry Kissinger to clear the room during a particularly testy negotiation with Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai in 1972. After that particularly fraught exchange, things went kind of quiet on the twerking front. Until now. Life’s a funny old thing. It’s strange to watch a young woman – whose father inflicted ‘boot scooting’ on the world courtesy of the crime against music and spelling that was Achy Breaky Heart – embrace twerking so fulsomely. Mostly it’s a shame to see anyone who can actually dance choose to dance like that. More disturbing still is the sight of prime ministerial aspirant Clive Palmer (regardless of how deeply misplaced that aspiration might be) decide that the best way to connect with ‘the kids’ is to sacrifice any notion of dignity and ‘twerk’. Granted, the act occurred on radio, which was probably the perfect medium. Still, if Thomas Jefferson was still with us he would, doubtless, shake his head in despair and most definitely not his buttocks. I hate to say it, but I almost miss planking. It seems intellectual by comparison. Come back Harlem Shake, all is forgiven. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Join in the magic with Mickey Mouse and his Disney friends for a mystifying, energetic and hilarious magic show filled with spectacular illusions. Children of all ages will be mesmerised when Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and a host of Disney friends including Cinderella, Princess Jasmine, Mad Hatter, Belle and Snow White, come together with international illusionist Zak Williams to perform the most exciting magic from legendary Disney films. Famed illusion designer Jim Steinmeyer - who has worked with leading magicians David Copperfield, Lance Burton and Siegfried & Roy - brings his more than 20 years’ experience to the illusions in the show. The magic is complimented by appearances from Disney princesses Belle and Snow White and Mickey’s pals from Toontown — Donald Duck and Goofy. For tickets and touring information, go to www.disneylive.com.au. The Plenary, Melbourne Convention Centre, 9-11 January. Tickets 136 100 *** PRODUCERS Howard Panter and John Frost last week confirmed that the new Australian production of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show will play a limited season at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre, opening 26 April. Melbourne audiences can waitlist to buy tickets at www. rockyhorror.com.au/melbourne before they go on sale on 7 October.

series of ABC TV’s top-rating drama series The Doctor Blake Mysteries. Further cast members will be announced on 30 September. The Rocky Horror Show is a true classic and one of theatre’s most endearing and outrageously fun shows. It opened at London’s Royal Court Theatre on 19 June 1973, quickly developing a cult following, and was adapted into the 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which holds the record of the longest-running release in film history.
*** LOST radio recordings of The Beatles are to be released on the follow up to the band’s 1994 album On Air – Live at the BBC. Fans were asked to delve into their personal archives to find taped recordings of the Fab Four for the new anthology, On Air - Live at the BBC Volume 2, which will be released in November.
*** Australia’s Princess of Country Music and Golden Guitar nominee, Aleyce Simmonds will release her latest album Believe this week. It follows her 2011 acclaimed album Pieces of Me which gave me my favourite song Bondwood Boat. Believe was produced by bass guitar maestro and record producer, Simon Johnson, featuring some backing vocals from sister Karlee Simmonds and Mornington Peninsula singer/songwriter, Lachlan Bryan. “I’m really proud of the new record, it’s me and the fact my family had a part of it. Simon Johnson is an incredible producer and we did this album over four months. He is a beautiful person to deal with,” Aleyce said. “To record a song with my sister Karlee was very special to me. “Glenn Hannah, apart from doing the artwork, played guitar and played a big part in the recording of this album.” The first single, the title track, debuted at number five on the iTunes charts and has already found a home on country music radio across the country. The accompanying video clip produced and directed by Ross Wood, will be released alongside the album. The album Believe was officially launched this week. Standout tracks include Joshua, The Tree House Song, My Life Drives Me to Drink, Tonight,
Born in a Tent: How Camping Makes us Australian. Does this equate with those who loathe camping being unAustralian? I went camping as a boy over Christmas; the backyard of some property way, way away in a foreign place called Tootgarook that was full of croaking frogs and Frenchmen. A tent, hard work, spiders, centipedes and ants. Shared a tin of baked beans for lunch. Home two days later with an entrenched decision: never again. That and “psycho” motels. Fortunately there was food in the ice refrigerator when safely home. *** MINISTER for Ageing David Davis explains the measured reallocation of government-managed aged care services to non-government providers and with it budget documents revealing an expected saving of $25 million in 2014-15. So they switch to privatisation (read: profits and a reduction of nurse-topatient ratios) and they save heaps. In the same breath they say the quality of care will not suffer. I smell a rat. Aged care services, profit or quality? You cannot have both. *** SO Daisy Thomas (Collingwood) has a foot problem. Specialist surgeon says operation. Second specialist says no need, just rest. Third specialist agrees
with the second. Football manager Rodney Eade says they will get two more medical opinions for certainty and reassurance. What certainty? Many years ago when my son was a small tyke, my wife took him to a “growth specialist”, amusing me for years to come. Lawyers, doctors and the Treasury are licensed to live on robbery, thereby embarrassing Robin Hood. (Dithmarus Bleskenius, in his accurate description of Iceland, 1607: “They lived on dried fish, water and whey (the water part of milk after the formation of curds) and yet, without doctors or specialists, many of them lived to 250 years.) *** THE Australian Charities and Notfor-Profit Commission set up to be the watchdog of the $43 billion received and spent by Australian charities could be scuttled under the Liberals. (60,000 large charities and 600,000 not-forprofit groups). Cardinal Pell’s crowd and his Sydney push have been active in reducing their scope and no doubt backed by Kevin Andrews and his Catholic mates in Barnaby Joyce, Joe (“Get over it”) Hockey, Andrew Robb, Christopher Pyne and, of course, Truthful Tony. The self-righteous few. Let us remove the mining companies’ tax on excess profits, scrap the school kids bonuses and rewrite history by deleting all left-wing
This iconic brand holds a unique place in theatre history, a show which has defied the decades and continued to grow in popularity. In 2010 the music of Rocky Horror was showcased in the smash hit TV show Glee, seen by over 20 million people worldwide. Rocky Horror even has its own postage stamp. Millions of people all over the world have and continue to see productions of The Rocky Horror Show and sung along to classics like Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet, I Can Make You A Man, Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me, Over At The Frankenstein Place and of course The Time Warp. Time Warp hit the Australian singles chart in 1977, and again in 1980 and 1991. www.rockyhorrormusical.com.au

A Grain of Salt AS a boy, I rarely won at Snakes and Ladders; a sign of life to follow? Roll the bloody dice. Not another snake! Followed by the child’s catchcry “It’s not fair”. My mother would say “Neither is Joe Louis’s backside”. Saturday 7 September was the nerve-wracking doom and gloom double-header. Prior to the election I did another of my famous surveys (OK, I exaggerate) asking the reason they vote for who they vote for. Two misinformed answers on the economy, one hated Kevvy (he being a Queenslander) and the rest voted “because they had to”. I wonder about the many following the word of Sir Rupert but then remembered the brilliant minds of the German inventors of the Mercedes motor car, despite the German masses voting for the failed Austrian artist Adolf. We voted in favour of vested interests, corporate and private wealth, privatisation and taking people’s houses for commercial profit. Andrew Bolt calls my lot the cultural elite. Is that a compliment? Like football it’s all about revenge; the anticipation, sooner or later they eat humble pie. Carlton finished above Collingwood; the pain. Sunday 8 September the sun was shining and Dromana had won a premiership. It’s all about bias. One may well love a football team and hate the others, ditto politics but my theory is if you

were to truly research your reasons, you would arrive at nothing to enforce or change your mind. The same applies to a play, a movie, a television show, a painting. I was asked once if I was given the choice of having (owning) one piece of art in the world what would it be? Perhaps something expensive enough to sell, to buy a unit in Sorrento with a lift, double glazing, private CCTV and a revolving north-south balcony? Nah – too far from the RSL. As for my once mighty Magpies, instead of Buckley talking of blame, culture change and lazy footballers maybe a look in his mirror? Didak as a sub, no Jolly, and Reid wasted? Outcoached. *** I GREW up amid an aura of rejection. We played cricket or football in the street; lightpoles for wickets; homemade footies; kids everywhere, fathers overseas. A car once or twice a day, the horse-drawn baker’s cart and the iceman; the smell of fresh bread or pinch a block of ice. Two captains, each to pick their sides. In case of an uneven number the captains tossed for the last one – regularly me. Was I afforded counselling? They laughed? Mongrels. One time my sister wanted a game and they tossed up for her. I’d like to say I felt sorry for her, but I laughed. *** BILL Garner has written a book:

Premiers: Edithvale-Aspendale celebrate a turn around season and a come from behind grand final win. Picture: Andrew Hurst
Eagles soar in final term to drown Sharks PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly EDITHVALE-Aspendale created Mornington Peninsula Football history on Sunday when it went from the wooden spoon to Peninsula League premiers in the space of one season. Edithvale trailed by 30 points at three quarter time against Bonbeach, but booted six goals to none in the last quarter to grab victory 13.15.93 to 12.14.86. It was a rags to riches story. Edithvale finished on the bottom of the ladder last season. It had to play an Elimination Final, where it came from behind to beat Mornington, then easily defeated Mt Eliza in the First Semi before beating Frankston YCW last week in overtime to advance to the Grand Final. The Eagles did it the hard way. Ruckman Markham Johnson carried a hip injury into the match, full back Nick Connellan punctured his lung before the finals began and star youngsters Bailey Dale and Mark Mullins
PAGE 40
suffered from gastro the night before the game. Edithvale looked like the walking wounded at three quarter time. Nathan Dunn, who came into the side after injuring a shoulder a fortnight ago, copped a knock on the same spot midway through the clash and was clearly experiencing discomfort. However, Edithvale coach Troy Shannon managed his playing group superbly. Johnson spent a lot of time of the bench, Dunn was looked after and Dale and Mullins spent long periods on the pine. The common thought going into the game was that Edithvale needed to stay within striking distance. Given Bonbeach had an easy pathway through to the grand final and Edithvale did it tough, many believed the Sharks would finish the game with greater run. How wrong that was! The Eagles booted five goals in eight minutes to hit the front and then sealed the match at the 28-minute mark of the
Southern Peninsula News 17 September 2013
last quarter to win by seven points. Earlier in the match, it was the even spread of the Sharks that saw them boot six goals to two in the second quarter and four goals to three in the third to lead 12.10 to 7.10 at the final change. Paul Rebeschini was providing enormous drive from half back, Shane McDonald was dangerous through the middle and Calhan McQueen was proving to be a handful in attack. Both McQueen and McDonald booted three goals in the first three quarters, while Owen Hulett, Shaun Foster and Michael Turville also kicked multiples. Edithvale constantly wasted opportunities going into the forward line and the hero of the week before, Matt Kremmer, couldn’t get his hands on the footy. Shannon moved Kremmer up the ground in the last quarter and shifted Connellan from full back to full forward. He also asked for one last effort from the likes of Johnson and Dunn, as well as his youngsters.
Shannon also called on his defenders to work hard, play in front and leave nothing in the tank. The moves paid dividends and the players responded to their coach. Kremmer began to clunk everything, Connellan looked dangerous in attack and had a hand in three last quarter goals, Johnson went out and gave his all, Steve and Tim Mannix devoted everything they had for the good of the team and the defenders, led by Drew Westfield and Jordan Derbyshire, rebounded every Bonbeach entry. Brent Bowden was also moved back and was a rock down there. Then there were the unsung heroes such as Jack Holden, who was simply superb with more than 20 touches. Tom Turner came on and did a job on McDonald, Jeremy Heys was huge in the last with three goals and Brad Tagg never stopped running and working. Troy Ogier got his hands on the footy through the middle, Pat Poore shouldered a lot of responsibility in the ruck with Johnson being injured
and Zac Muscialli and Adam Budge constantly drove their team forward. Craig Wray was strong when he was called upon and Todd Woodbridge continued to stick his head over the footy despite his light frame. The Eagles simply needed a sniff of victory. The first opportunity came at the six minute mark when Connellan marked and goaled and then they had to wait until the 16-minute mark to really start their charge. What unfolded in the last quarter was incredible. Edithvale looked gone 30 minutes earlier. Make no mistake, Bonbeach didn’t lose this Grand Final, Edithvale won it. They did it the hard way, from last in 2012 and going into the biggest game of 2013 with some injured players. The Eagles rolled the dice, stayed loyal, managed the best they could and won. The Edithvale-Aspendale Football Club should be extremely proud of their players’ efforts.
SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard
Artico to cool jets before making a move DROMANA Premiership coach Gavin Artico intends to spend the next three weeks celebrating his 40th birthday and enjoying a family holiday in Bali. Since announcing his resignation from the Tigers a week before the grand final, Artico has been linked to a number of clubs to coach them next season. On Nepean League Grand Final day, it was rumoured that Artico had accepted the Frankston YCW coaching position. From the horse’s mouth, this was far from the truth, although the Stonecats did want to talk to him on the morning of the Grand Final. The two-time premiership coach has also been linked to the club where his coaching career began, Langwarrin. This rumour emerged after Artico attended the engagement party of one of his former players. And then there’s the Seaford rumour, as well as positions further up the line in the Eastern Football League and Amateurs. Artico said he was going to be a “very busy man” over the next 12 months. “If you believe all the rumours I’m locked into a few jobs, so I’ve got some juggling to do,” Artico joked. “The reality is that I’m keen to coach next year but I have some personal things that I want to do before I make any firm decisions. “The most important thing I wanted to do was share the celebrations of a premiership with the players and committee of the Dromana Football Club. “We all worked so hard to achieve the result and I couldn’t believe that there were clubs
calling me about their coaching position less than 24 hours after the final siren of a premiership. To me, that was just disrespectful and said a bit about their club and how they go about things to be honest. “In the next few weeks I have the Dromana presentation night, my 40th birthday and a trip overseas with my family. I’ll probably make my decision on the beach, I reckon. “If it comes to the stage where I get back and there are no positions available, I’ll just take a year off and go around and watch footy,” he said. Artico said the celebrations after the Grand Final in the town of Dromana were like something he had never experienced before. “I just couldn’t believe how much this premiership meant to the whole town – community, businesses, football club supporters,” Artico said. “We posed for photos with the cup with people in the street, hotels, restaurants, local businesses – it was just amazing and very humbling. “We spent some time with some of the 1971 Dromana Premiership players, which was just sensational, and we even paid a visit to a member of that ’71 team who had missed the game because he was in hospital. He broke down and cried he was that proud of us. “It was just a wonderful experience and one that will stay with me forever. Premierships really are something that need to be respected and treasured,” Artico said.
Sharks still circling FOLLOWING the ‘exclusive’ article last week in The News about the Sorrento coaching position being up in the air, no-one from the club has denied the story. It is believed that the committee is divided on the direction of the footy club next season. The football department are keen to see Nick Claringbold reappointed as coach while the decision makers at the club are looking for someone more high profile. Reading the story last week, there is already
one club that has officially made contact with Claringbold, should he not be a reappointed at Sorrento. It is amazing to think that the Nepean League Team of the Year coach had still not been spoken to by the Sorrento Football Club as late as Thursday of last week. Still on the Sharks, it is rumoured that Nepean goal kicking winner, Leigh Poholke, might be following James Hallahan interstate to play next season.
Yabbies appoint Hallal TYABB has appointed Ray Hallal as its senior coach. Hallal took over the role as interim coach last season after the club parted ways with Brad Coller. There were strong rumours last week that Tyabb was either going to fold as a club or apply to play in the Southern League. However, president Terry McGrath said that rumour was garbage. “We have appointed a senior coach in Ray, we are financially sound as a club and we are looking to recruit a few players,” McGrath said.
Blackford on the blower NEW Red Hill coach Tony Blackford has been tirelessly working the phones since becoming the head honcho a month ago. Blackford said the club was in a very strong position off the field and said he was confident that with a bit of experience in the line-up, his side could move swiftly up the ladder. “A club like Edithvale-Aspendale has shown this year that with a couple of good recruits in positions where you need them, you can make a move quickly,” Blackford said.
Demons look up the line RYE is renowned for attracting players from up the line. Rarely does it look within its own backyard and once again it has had some chats and had
a round of golf or two with players outside of the league. They have one on board already and are very keen on enticing Justin Van Unen back to the fold.
Bulls after Schwarze
IT is believed the Karingal Football Club is keen to get hold of Sorrento premiership coach Troy Schwarze to coach them next season. A former teammate at St Kilda of Karingal’s Justin Peckett, the fit seems reasonable. The Bulls would also pick-up Ben Schwarze and Caydn Beetham if they could manage to lock in Troy. The downside of appointing Schwarze for Karingal would be possibly losing David Hirst, who we understand has applied for the position. ‘Budda’ Hirst is also linked to the vacant Somerville job.
