Farmer leaves growing legacy DROMANA cattle and sheep farmer Bruce Brockhoff has sold Moorunga Farm, ending 75 years of family connection to the peninsula. Bruce and his father Harold, of the famous biscuit company, turned the once 483-hectare (1200-acre) farm into a showpiece after Harold bought the first section of land for 39 pounds an acre in 1939. Bruce, who is the father of highprofile Olympic snowboarder Belle Brockhoff, embarked on a massive tree planting operation in the 1980s and won a Landcare award. Just weeks before the family moves to the city, Mr Brockhoff has donated his tree planting equipment to the peninsula’s Landcare network. Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network facilitator Jacqui Salter, pictured left, joined Bruce last Friday at Moorunga Farm to thank the Brockhoff family for their generous gift. See full story Page 5.

swap is not connected to the chairlift proposal, which was narrowly approved by the council in early June and is being challenged in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal by community lobby group Save Our Seat. The case started on 5 November and was still being heard last Friday. In March, 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 [chairlift]”. 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”. But the shire appears to have backed away from the land being used as a chairlift offset with shire property manager Yasmin Woods stating in a fact sheet that the gondola could still be built even if the land swap did not go ahead.

Cr Colomb mayor for second time Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au BEV Colomb is the new mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire. It is Cr Colomb’s second mayoral term as she was “first among equals” in 2007-08. She replaces Cr Antonella Celi of Seawinds Ward. Cr Graham Pittock, also of Seawinds, was elected deputy mayor. One of three Briars Ward councillors, Cr Colomb is the 19th mayor since the “super” shire was formed from Mornington, Hastings and Flinders shires in late 1994 (three Kennett government-appointed commissioners ran the municipality until councillors were first elected in 1997). The shire has had five women mayors – Judith Graley in 2000-01 (now state Labor MP), Anne Shaw in 2004 and 2008-09, Bev Colomb 2007-08 and 2014-15, Lynne Bowden 2012-13 and Antonella Celi 2013-14. Cr Shaw served a shortened term in 2004 as the state government altered the election cycle. Cr Colomb’s election to the $87,000 job means the shire has had three women mayors in a row, unusual in Victoria. She was elected at the shire’s annual general meeting on Monday 10 November, with Briars Ward colleague Andrew Dixon the only other candidate. Cr Dixon voted for himself and received votes from Crs Anne Shaw

First among equals: Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new mayor Cr Bev Colomb (second from left front) with her colleagues (back row) Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, Tim Rodgers, Graham Pittock, Hugh Fraser, Tim Wood, David Gibb, (front row) Anne Shaw, outgoing mayor Antonella Celi and Lynne Bowden.

and David Garnock. Cr Colomb grew up in Mornington, and was elected to represent the town in November 2005 when she narrowly defeated sitting councillor John Trantino. Mornington Ward was folded into the larger, three-councillor Briars Ward in early 2012, joining Balcombe Ward (Mt Martha) and Mt Eliza Ward. The new mayor has been a business

owner, was executive officer of Mornington Community Contact House, and has recently been teaching governance at Frankston TAFE. In her acceptance speech, Cr Colomb said the council had “an opportunity to look at everything freshly”. This was taken as an oblique reference to the departure last Friday of long-time CEO Michael Kennedy, who has had his

contract paid out. Dr Kennedy’s contract expires in February next year. Cr Colomb said “as a team we will be able to rise to the challenges and opportunities the next 12 months bring”. “I look forward to working with all of you – community leaders, councillors, officers and all levels of government – to provide an environment that allows protection of all that we hold

important and also gives us best practise to ensure the health and wellbeing of the peninsula for years to come. “We are preparing our own peninsula planning statement to be endorsed by the state government showing that the peninsula is near Melbourne but, importantly, not part of it. “Having taught volunteers, young adults and many students involved in the development of our community, I am very aware of the needs and aspirations of our diverse population. “One of my main aims as a councillor is to assist and support, where and when needed, anyone wishing to help others or protect that which we all hold dear. After many years of working in the community sector I am concerned about the lack of employment and education opportunities offered on the peninsula for both older and younger generations. “We have a terrific community on our peninsula. To me our community’s participation is our greatest asset and our commitment will be to work with you all.” Cr Colomb invited residents to contact her to “share information or discuss issues”. “For general enquiries, assistance, appointments and invitations, call Councillor Support on 5950 1428. To contact me, call 5977 0612, mobile 0418 506 638 or email colomb@ mornpen.vic.gov.au.”

Councillors reject Gandel’s restaurant plans David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au COUNCILLORS have resoundingly rejected a large restaurant-art development proposal near PointLeo by the Gandel family, describing many aspects of the application as inappropriate and inconsistent with state and local planning schemes. With four councillors absent from the meeting and officers hesitant in their responses to some intense questioning from councillors present, the recommendation to approve the plan, moved by CrAntonella Celi, lapsed for want of a seconder. The absent four were councillors David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon and David Garnock, all usually Celi allies. Some councillors expressed surprise later that the proposal had failed. A nine-point resolution to reject the proposal was put together during an adjournment. Its main points were:

THIRSTY FRIDAYS

HAPPY HOUR

& BAR SNACKS 4.30PM-5.30PM IN THE MAIN SAIL BAR

 The application inappropriately uses a Heritage Overlay provision to win approval for a use prohibited in the green wedge zone on 6.6 hectares of land – GW requires 40ha minimum for a restaurant.  The heritage benefit is substantially less than the variation being sought under the overlay.  Proposed tree removal would damage the property’s heritage value.  Relocation of the heritage house would have an adverse effect on its significance.  Relocation of the house and a rammed earth building would place them outside the heritage overlay.  No benefits from the proposed land use “can be demonstrably applied towards the conservation of the heritage place”.  The restaurant-cellar door are not, as required, in conjunction with a vineyard on the same land parcel.  The proposal is inconsistent with

state and local planning requirements as well as those of GW rules as the land is less than 40ha. When put to the vote, the proposal gained support from all but Cr Celi. The application was for a 150-seat restaurant, a cellar door, a wine store, art gallery, sculpture park and partial demolition and relocation of the two heritage buildings. Curiously, the 152 car parking spaces proposed exceeded the number of patrons permitted on the land at any one time. They anticipated 360 patrons, not counting those who might arrive on buses. Council officers were strongly supportive of the proposal, describing it as “unique” and “one of those rare occasions where a prohibited land use can be approved”. The overlay provision, that allows otherwise prohibited uses, “may be viewed as a key to ‘opening adoor’ ... where there is an expectation that

‘once through the door’ what will be seen will be truly worthy of having provided the key to open that door,” the report by planning officer Geoff Nicol said. National Trust local chair Judy Walsh did not agree. Nor did veteran Trust and heritage campaigner Peter Holloway. Ms Walsh told councillors: “It would appear on the surface that no conservation works have been attempted on the cottage since the application to demolish was denied, approximately six years ago. “Therefore the trust recommends that council consider the relocation and satisfactory restoration of the cottage and outbuilding ... be successfully completed before any other works in this application are permitted to commence.” Mr Holloway, making a personal submission, said in a statement that councillors had to decide “whether to

conserve the Green Wedge Zone on the Mornington Peninsula as intended by legislation, or to act on a historical quirk which permits a rarely used exemption in the Heritage Act[to] override the Green Wedge legislation”. Planners said that to overcome the land size problem the applicant was amenable to legal restrictions on the land that would effectively create a 40ha block from four Gandel properties comprising the land parcel, “so that future applications could not be made for another restaurant or function room”. But under questioning, a representative for the Gandels conceded that billionaire Mr John Gandel wished to retain the right to sell parcels of land included the legal agreement, thus almost certainly reducing the legal block to less than 40ha. The application is likely to go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Exit, stage right, with a chuckle and a tear Mornington Peninsula Shire annual general meeting, 6 pm, 10 November, Besgrove St, Rosebud. Followed by a superb light supper with wine and soft drink to suit all tastes, with the opportunity to congratulate new mayor Cr Bev Colomb, outgoing mayor Antonella Celi and all councillors. A nice night’s entertainment. IT WAS Antonella Celi’s night. Well, at first it was. The outgoing mayor’s ebullience and skill at ensuring she is front and centre was in full, fragrant flower. Word had swirled around the shire that she would be positively responsive to another year in the job, clearly one in which she enjoyed the opportunity to meet, greet, implement, initiate and congratulate, usually with a camera not too unadjacent. As evidence of her energy and the range of activities Cr Celi undertook over her 12 months, her review of the year was accompanied by a vast and, it appeared, unending slide show. Not a ribbon was cut, not a presentation was made. Council Watch’s physical structure seemed to fail, confronted by this endless energy. CW declines to use the cliché “boundless energy”: there was no lack of mayoral bound in 2014. Was a single blade of grass severed anywhere in the shire without the imprimatur of this relentless human version of

the cartoon Tasmanian devil? This was a single-councillor council at work. Could she handle another year of such activity? Phah! A mere bagatelle! The pictures – readers may have noticed many mayoral snaps appeared in local papers and in the shire publication PeninsulaWide, sometimes several to a page – were accompanied by the outgoing mayor’s review of having “the best job in the world” for 12 months. As expected, she “had something prepared”, but warned the room we all knew by now she might get “a bit teary” in her presentation. And she did, which was OK with us. “It has been an absolute honour to lead this council over the past 12 months and serve an amazing community that has been so supportive and encouraging of my role,” she began. Her term had been “robust and challenging”, a highlight of which was delivery of the long-awaited Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement – the shire being first council to have such a planning statement. A further highlight was having her portrait entered in the Archibald Prize. This was a “very unique experience”. Cr Celi felt humbled to be chosen as a subject. The portrait didn’t feature in the prize list, but it was “a fantastic memento”. It was the “longest time I ever sat absolutely still and that was an effort,” she told the chamber. Everyone got thanked, from her “righthand ladies” (you know who you are), CEO, directors, all the staff, fellow councillors, “who offered me both their challenges and support” – indeed, the entire peninsula community was invoked. Her most memorable day? It started

in Portsea with a fine dining breakfast and speech at a fundraiser, progressed to lunch in Mt Eliza to launch a sustainability program and ended back at her “patch” in Rosebud West with fish and chips at a community event; a day of amazing diversity. She thanked her family, ending with a word of advice. “When we get home I think you can take away that cardboard cutout of me that’s sitting at the dining room table,” she said. “I’ll be home probably a little bit more often.” All that said, it was time to elect Cr Celi’s replacement. Cr Tim Rodgers nominated Cr Bev Colomb, and Cr David Garnock threw Cr Andrew Dixon’s hat into the ring. The poll would be conducted alphabetically, chair Celi decided, with A for Andrew pipping B for Bev – demonstrating the informality of council, since C for

Colomb pips D for Dixon if one takes the more normal and formal alphabetical option. Imagine a phone book with first names first. Cr Dixon drew support from Briars Ward colleague Cr Anne Shaw, getting three votes. Cr Colomb was duly elected. Thanking her colleagues for their support, Cr Colomb said that “as a team we will be able to rise to the challenges and opportunities the next 12 months bring. The passion and energy is here to serve our community on the peninsula well”. With the skills and experience around the council table, the work recently started would continue on to fruition, she said. “We have an opportunity to look at everything freshly. As the first of 11 [councillors] I will be representing the will of council. I know already we are deeply committed to reviewing our services and

this process will involve our residents and all our officers. “We are entering an exciting stage of this council’s development. I make my own commitment to facilitate a transparent and inclusive process.” Cr Shaw thanked Cr Celi for her performance as mayor. “If there was an event on the peninsula, an AGM, presentation or gathering, Antonella was there,” she said, “always punctual, dressed for success and never a hair out of place.” And she ran a good meeting, Cr Shaw said. Cr David Gibb followed with a tribute to former CEO Michael Kennedy, who did not attend the meeting. Dr (then Mr) Kennedy took a pay cut to join Mornington Peninsula Shire from Boroondara council in February 1999, Cr Gibb said. The new CEO melded the disparate cultures of the newly amalgamated shire, “breaking down the old shire boundaries, building a shared vision or ethos”. “He oversaw the formation of the Sustainable Peninsula ethos – where environmental, social and economic goals have to all have cognisance of each other,” Cr Gibb said. Dr Kennedy’s other achievements included securing for the shire Police Point at Point Nepean, the peninsula planning statement, getting better value for money for contracted services, greater opportunities for young people, and improved public transport. His 15-year term at the shire “leaves us very well placed to ensure that the opportunities and challenges of the future are continually met”, Cr Gibb said. David Harrison

End of Brockhoff era benefits Landcare Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au IT was the mid-1980s and Dromana cattle and sheep farmer Bruce Brockhoff was about to embark on a flurry of tree planting at Moorunga Farm, his large property east of Old Moorooduc Rd. He had been inspired by his long-time farm manager Dick Clayton who said putting in thousands of indigenous shrubs and trees would greatly benefit productivity and enhance the beauty of the property. Mr Brockhoff wanted seeds from big trees on his property left standing after clearing by previous owners. He went into paddocks to gather seeds from the remaining “alpha” trees but his ladder was too short so he returned with a shotgun and blasted them out of the tree tops. He stored the seed pods in brown paper bags in a hot water cupboard and they soon fell out of their casing, ready for use. “It was a different time, the 1940s,” he told The News last week during a walk around Moorunga Farm, which he sold earlier this year and is vacating in December. “Farmers didn’t yet know the advantages of planting indigenous trees. Previous owners had cleared the land, and dad planted cypress trees, which eventually blocked our view of Port Phillip and actually made the wind stronger.” Mr Brockhoff, his staff and helpers – including young European backpackers from tree-planting clubs who came to Australia for a month and spent half their time at Moorunga – planted about 35,000 trees and shrubs bordering each main paddock as well as Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Old Moorooduc Rd. The first tree of an initial 4000 was planted by conservation minister (later premier) Joan Kirner in 1985, and Mr Brockhoff won a Landcare award in 1995 for his efforts.

“Dick managed the farm for 34 years and was a great believer in trees. He told me if we gave up 10 per cent of the land for trees, it would improve productivity by 15 per cent,” Mr Brockhoff said. “The trees reduce the effect of wind and allow grass to grow for the stock [Angus cattle and cross-breed sheep] as well as native animals. Trees attract birds, which eat insects. “They beautify the property and act as a noise attenuator, which was important when the freeway was built in the 1980s.” The 35,000 trees and shrubs were put into plantations 10 metres wide, double fenced with three rows of native trees and shrubs stretching for more than 13 kilometres. Mr Brockhoff paid for the lot, initially sourcing plants from Brian Cuming’s Farmtrees Nursery in Bittern and later using seeds from the farm, which were more suited to the location. “We planted manna gums on a creek flat and one tree grew 18 feet [5.5 metres] in 18 months in the rich, black soil,” Mr Brockhoff said. The Brockhoff family – Bruce, his wife Kristine and daughters Belle and Brooke – are leaving Moorunga with some regret. Mr Brockhoff planted two rows of lemon scented eucalypts beside Ellerina Rd (which was chopped in half by the freeway and had its name changed by the shire council to Foxeys Lane) to celebrate his marriage to Kristine more than 20 years ago. They’ll miss the view over verdant pastures, and the rambling 1960s home, which was rebuilt after a pottery kiln accident burnt most of the original home to the ground. They’ve bought a place in the city and hope to find a bolt-hole on the southern peninsula, where Mr Brockhoff would use some of his knowledge of sustainable building practices to create a showpiece. “Dad bought the first section of Moorunga in 1939 for 39 pounds an acre, and he and I added to the holding over the years.”

Mr Brockhoff sold about 200 hectares (500 acres) to the Martha Cove marina developer in 2003. The property sold this year is 283 hectares (700 acres) and includes homes, sheds, a huge orchard and other farming assets. “While everyone around me has subdivided and sold their land for golf courses or whatever, I, among very few, have looked after my farm and its environs.” His parting gift to the peninsula is 2000 tree guards and stakes, and three Hamilton tree planters – a shovel-type tool that removes a divot and replaces it with seedling tubes.

Last Friday Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network facilitator Jacqui Salter inspected Moorunga Farm with Mr Brockhoff and received the equipment. Dr Salter said Mr Brockhoff and his family had done a fantastic job over the years. “The landscape has been completely transformed and is an inspiration to other farmers and our many Landcare groups across the region,” she said. “Bruce was ahead of his time when he collected and propagated seeds from his own trees in the 1980s.”

Action aplenty on the ground, in air and at sea BRUCE Brockhoff’s great-grandfather Adolph established A F Brockhoff and Co in Melbourne in 1880 after migrating from Germany. Adolph’s son Frederick had three sons – Harold (1901-66) (Bruce’s dad), Alan (1904-89) and Jack (1908-84) – who built the company into Australia’s leading biscuit maker, producing such famous brands as Salada, Savoy, Chocolate Royals, BBQ Shapes and Chocolate Ripple. The company merged with Arnott’s in 1966. Bruce, born in 1943, was brought up on Moorunga Farm and attended Osborne State School and Red Hill Consolidated School (where he learnt sheetmetal, woodwork and apple packing) and then went to independent co-ed Huntingtower School in Mount Waverley, where

he excelled in sport and academic subjects. He attended Monash University 1961-64, graduating with a Bachelor of Economics and Politics, and also studied computers and computer programming. He played Aussie Rules at Monash and was in the ski team. His extended family had been involved in skiing in Australia since the early days. Bruce’s father was one of the original pioneers of Mt Buller and the Brockhoff Run at Mount Hotham and refuge hut were named after his aunty Joyce Brockhoff, mother of Olympian alpine skier Peter Brockhoff. Bruce worked at Brockhoff Biscuits for seven years, first as a salesman and later as a systems analyst and computer programmer, before venturing into a number of other enterprises including selling

aircraft to outback stations for cattle mustering, and co-founding The Cargo Hold chain of shops, which he ran for more than 20 years. Away from the desk, Bruce soared with the eagles as one of the world’s leading glider pilots. He is a triple national champion in 15-metre racing gliders and represented Australia at nine international events. He was team captain at world gliding championships, and heavily involved in the sport’s administration as a national and international delegate, and was awarded an international gliding medal in 1993 for “service to the sport of gliding”. In 1998 he built and launched Dream Catcher, a 48-foot (14.5-metre) solar-powered catamaran. His interest in solar power led to growing

hydroponic heritage tomatoes at Moorunga as well as inventing a solar heat collection system, Solarflume, which can heat soil in his outdoor vegetable garden and also the greenhouse tomatoes. He also invented scratching poles for cattle and sheep placed at each water trough, and a unique mulching mat that doubles as a tree planting template for untrained conservation volunteers. Bruce’s elder daughter Belle is a world-class snowboarder who achieved the best result by any Australian at the Sochi Olympics and is training for the northern hemisphere World Cup season, and younger daughter Brooke is an actor, model and musician.

Car show drives cancer quest A CAR show at the Village Green Reserve, Rosebud, on Sunday 30 November will help raise money for the Southern Peninsula Ladies’ fight against cancer. It is one of the fundraisers being held by the group: eight women and one man, who are competing in the Weekend to End Women’s Cancer benefiting Peter Mac in February. They are hoping to raise $20,000 through various events, including a trivia night, comedy hypnotists’ night and sausage sizzles. “Local businesses have been asked to support the group with fundraising and, to date, we have had an overwhelming response,” participant Sharyn Simmonds said. Southern Peninsula Ladies’ team members are captain Imelda Noonan, Claire Reynolds, Ngaire Sandry, Narelle Mulcahy, Darlene Petersen, Caroline Kellett, Joanne Marchant, Jane Cockbill and John Westwood. The team was formed six months ago after Ms Noonan accepted the challenge to participate in the cancer fight. This will include taking part in a 60 kilometre walk from 28 February to 1 March. “Imelda set out to encourage friends and family to participate and a team of nine walkers has been formed,” Ms Simmonds said. To participate, the team is required to raise a $2000 entry fee. Ms Noonan and her team got together and came up with some fun fundraising ideas with the help of friends Libby De Fazio, Sharyn Simmonds and Ann McKay. “All of the walkers and fundraising team have, in some way or another,

like most of us, been touched by having, knowing or hearing of a person battling some form of cancer,” Ms Simmonds said. “We, as a whole team, decided not to dwell on these stories but to get out there and make a difference - small or large - to one day end not only women’s cancers but all cancers. “This has also been rewarding to us by doing something just as meaningful as our busy families and work responsibilities. “Fundraising is new to all of us and, while not always an easy task, it has been fun and we all have been moved by the generosity of local business and the peninsula community.” More than 200 cars will be on dis-

play at the car show from 10am-2pm. The cost to enter is $20. Entrants must pre-register at showforcancer@hotmail.com or call Libby on 0414607613. Public entry is by gold coin donation. There will be a sausage sizzle and food vendors, jumping castle and animal farm for the children, raffles and an auction for a signed Jim Richards canvas. Trophies will be presented to various car categories and also a people’s choice trophy. Donations can be made to the Southern Peninsula Ladies team at http://ml15.endcancer.org.au/ Details: Sharyn 0419 520 516 or email sharyn@offshoretooling.com.au or showforcancer@hotmail.com

No place for nets in fishing mecca: Dixon Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE state government is committed to establishing a world class recreational fishing mecca in Port Phillip Bay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the expense of commercial netters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recognise the passion Victoria's recreational fishers have for the bay and we want to provide a lasting legacy by preserving it,â&#x20AC;? Nepean MP Martin Dixon said. His comments are in response to pleas by the netters to abandon plans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; announced by Premier Denis Napthine at Carrum Surf Life Saving Club two weeks ago â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to buy back their commercial netting licences over the next four years. (The News, 11/11/2014). The Premier has pledged $20 million to begin the process if re-elected at the 29 November state election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing better than taking your kids and grandkids out for a day on the bay and we wan to ensure the opportunity is preserved into the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community and recreational fishers have been calling for the removal of net fishing in the bay for some time and we will deliver.â&#x20AC;? Mr Dixon said commercial netting would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;phased outâ&#x20AC;? while other commercial fishing, such as long lining, would still be allowed in Port Phillip. He said of all the fish caught recreational and commercial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; only 4.6 per cent was caught in nets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fish will continue to be sourced [for sale in shops] from outside Port Phillip and Corio bays, through commercial fisheries operating in areas such as Bass Strait.â&#x20AC;? Asked if studies had found that commercial

netting was not viable or was unsustainable, he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about the establishment of a recreational fishing mecca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government has invested an unprecedented $16 million over the past four years through our recreational fishing initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about the careful and sustainable management of the resource with an independent panel undertaking consultation with key stakeholders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our $65 million Better Bay package is part of the next phase of investment in recreational activities around our wonderful bay.â&#x20AC;? Mr Dixon acknowledged that locally caught fish was important to the economy â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we need to acknowledge that commercial fishers in Port Phillip and Corio bays currently catch around $4 million worth of fish. The recreational sector is estimated to be worth $2.3 billion and supports 5200 Victorian jobs.â&#x20AC;? He said the government would be working with the industry â&#x20AC;&#x153;to help them transition to non-netting-based commercial fishing and arrangements which reduce the conflict between commercial and recreational fishers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any job losses in the commercial sector may be offset by an increase in the support industries for the recreational sector.â&#x20AC;? An independent panel will recommend how the buyback would be structured and how commercial netting will be phased out. Mr Dixon said the panel would consult with peak bodies such as Seafood Industry Victoria and Victorian Recreational Fishing (VR Fish) and key stakeholder Future Fish, Australian Fishing Trade Association and others.

IT was a regal day in Main Ridge on Thursday when Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove arrived to open the rebuilt fire station. The first sod of the $789,000 station, at the intersection of Shands and Main Creek roads, was turned last April by Nepean MP Martin Dixon. He was there again last week, alongside Police and Emergency Services minister Kim Wells and Sir Peter, saying the new station would ensure Main Ridge was “better protected”. “Main Ridge station forms part of the Napthine Government’s $125 million commitment to build or upgrade hundreds of CFA stations across the state,” he said. “This program has recently been completed on time and more than $5 million under

budget.” Mr Dixon said the station replaced a building more than 40 years old – just in time for the approaching fire season. “Main Ridge’s 21 brigade members now have a modern base that will meet current and future needs, and our community has a great new resource they can utilise for meetings and other events.” The station has a three-bay motor room for vehicles, car parking spaces, kitchen and rainwater tanks. “The local community have also been an integral part of delivering this new station, contributing $80,000 towards the project, which is a significant achievement and acknowledgement of Main Ridge CFA’s sustained service to our region.”

Scholarship scheme scores top marks Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A BIG “thank you” afternoon tea at Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation in Rosebud last week celebrated the work of the foundation and shared the stories of students who have received scholarships through the Southern Mornington Peninsula Scholarship Program. Guest speaker Ray Blessing, the CEO of Taskforce Community Agency, spoke about youth issues affecting the Mornington Peninsula. The access and equity scholarship scheme began last year as a pilot program to help get disadvantaged students into education at Chisholm. It proved to be a resounding success, and was rolled out this year to provide support for 38 students. The program will be expanded next year to cover the entire peninsula under the new name MP Connect. It has also grown in terms of the number of donors signing on and the event at the Rosebud campus was held to thank them their support. Donors have contributed $31,700, with a further $4000 promised by Rye/ Rosebud Rotary and Sorrento Rotary. Other financial support has been provided by the Bendigo Bank (Rye/ Dromana), Southern Peninsula Community Fund Opportunity Shop, Uniting Church Opportunity Shop (Rosebud) and two private donors. In an initiative led by local resident and passionate education advocate Ian Predl AM, more than $30,000 has been allocated for 24 scholarships. A smaller amount has also reserved to provide additional assistance to stu-

dents encountering difficulty managing their return to education. Courses cover computing systems, engineering, beauty, salon management, youth work, pathology, beauty therapy, childcare, community services, hairdressing, plumbing and applied learning (VCAL). Southern peninsula residents can access funding that covers the cost of

their tuition as well as support costs, like child care and travelling expenses, to help them return to study through a new scholarship initiative. The scholarships target adult learners who have been out of work and want to up-skill to get back into the workforce, but who are unable to afford the cost of returning to education. They will receive funds to access

education and training at Chisholm, which is the main provider of VET on the Mornington Peninsula. Administered by the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation (CCEF), the scholarships aim to break down the barriers facing southern peninsula adults, especially young mothers, in returning to study.

$3.9m delivered for road upgrade A NEW roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of Coolart and Hodgins roads in Tuerong at a cost of more than $3.5 million while the intersection of the Nepean Highway, Main St and Mornington-Tyabb Rd will also be upgraded, the state government announced last week. A combined $3.9 million in funding had been allocated for the two “major road safety projects”, with the government to provide $3.538 million for Tuerong project to address the site’s “significant crash history”, which includes two serious injury crashes and one fatality over a five-year period to the end of 2013. Mornington MP David Morris said the majority of crashes at the site were due to drivers having difficulty selecting safe gaps to access Coolart Road, Mr Morris said. “Due to the high traffic volumes, drivers are more likely to be impatient and are turning in front of oncoming vehicles, and unfortunately this is resulting in crashes. “ Mr Morris said that given intersection’s proximity to the beach, there was a significant increase in traffic, especially during the warmer months.. The state government will also provide $397,000 to overhaul Mornington’s busiest intersection at the corner of Nepean Highway, Main St and Mornington-Tyabb Rd, where 14 casualty crashes, including two serious injury crashes, had occurred in the five years to December 2013. He said accidents at the intersection were mainly due to right-turning traffic not giving way to oncoming traffic, and drivers running red lights.

Denis Napthine for premier – win, lose or draw MRS Emu is perplexed. She has been reading the political popularity polls, now proliferating like blackberries as the state election bears down. “They don’t make sense.” She glares at her recumbent spouse who, like many people around election time, tries to make small targets of themselves. The polls are not his fault; her glare suggests they must be. The Emus have just arrived back from some long striding through the NSW drought district, visiting relos. Green pastures assaulted their eyes on arrival home this wet peninsula spring. And here is Premier Denis Napthine, sterling country stock, Liberal blue to the soles of his vet’s gumboots, apparently accelerating down the political skids. “It doesn’t make sense,” says Mrs E, in a querulous, rising cadence. She likes Dr Napthine. He speaks her language. “He wasn’t that far behind when we left. In the polls, that is. What’s happening?” The Blushing Bride still regards Victoria as the jewel in the Liberal crown. She still thinks Lady Chatterley’s Lover should be banned. Her favourite monarch is Good Queen Bess. She is an old-fashioned gel. Emu remains silent and alert through the soliloquy, knowing that a Significant Thought is pending. “But even if Labor wins – (here comes Significant Thought) – Denis is more popular than, ah, Mr Andrews.” She is thinking aloud; it is a slow process and involves long silences and a furrowed brow. Emus don’t have a lot of brow to furrow. “Even if Labor wins ...” Emu can almost hear the machinery in his BB’s

cruet grinding slowly and exceeding small, as the poet Longfellow so aptly put it. He must have known an emu, possibly an ancestor on Emu’s distaff side. “It wouldn’t be democratic for Denis not to be Premier, since he is far more popular than, than, than ...” Emu takes the cue: “Mr Dan Andrews, dear, the Labor leader. Mrs Emu has trouble enunciating Labor Party names. PM Julia Gillard was usually “That Woman” or “The Redhead”. “Mr Andrews is not popular,” the BB states firmly. “Denis gets more votes than he. He should not be Premier because he is so not popular. But he could be a minister in Denis’s next government. That might make him more popular. Then maybe he could take over as premier some time.” Emu winces. He senses more Significant Thoughts are on the way. Should he opine that it’s winner take all in politics, including the premiership? But (Emu argues with himself) talk of premierships would be unwise after the Swans’ recent AFL premiership towelling. The swan, an elegant, long-necked avian, was the obvious choice for the Emus to support, ahead of Crows, Magpies, Hawks and Eagles. A swan is what Mrs Emu sees in the mirror. “And he should be entitled to choose some of his ministers for the new

cabinet if Mr, ah, Andrews’ party wins. There’s Mr Guy in planning and Mr Davis in health and Mr Mulder in transport – they all know what they’re doing. That’s what happens in America. The president can choose whoever he likes to be in cabinet, from any source. “Even actual experts get to govern in America.” Now Emu gets the triumphant “quod erat demonstrandum” – I have proved my case – look. Emu demurs, but, being an avid advocate of “sponsum, non contra” (Latin for “never contradict your spouse”), remains expressionless and mute. It’s the safest way.

Trials of Upper Gumtree MRS Emu is just back from visiting her sister Ermyntrude who lives in the Shire of Upper Gumtree. “I’ve heard the most extraordinary story from Ermy,” she said as Emu pretended not to hear her opening gambit and pulled the pages of Weekly Emu Times closer to the eyes. “Are you listening to me? This could happen in our shire if we’re not careful.” The Emu Times is folded and placed on the side table. “I’m all ears, dear.” “Well, Upper Gumtree has been trying to get a pool built on Crown land, part of a state forest, as a majority of councillors thought it would revive one of the shire’s main towns and the site is close to the big waterfall that many people visit. “The poor dears living in the town have been doing it tough since the timber mill closed and the pine

plantations went bankrupt.” Emu was interested. There’s been a pool battle in our neck of the woods, he thought to himself. “So the majority of Upper Gumtree councillors with backroom support from senior officers and the CEO, a nice Irish man called Mehall MacKenna, managed to win government support to build the pool in the forest. “They’d been trying for ages but won the jackpot three years ago when that nice man Ted Baillieu won the election, and his small but perfectly formed environment minister gave the OK to build the pool. “This was to keep the election promise that the local MP had made to his electorate for the forest pool. “Well it turns out that the bureaucrats in the environment minister’s office were beside themselves that permission had been granted and wanted to wriggle out of it. They got their minister to agree. “So they strengthened the coastal rules to give the councillors who didn’t want a pool in the forest the ammunition to knock it on the head. Then the environment minister withdrew his OK for the forest site. Then the council decided to build the pool in the middle of town. Weren’t they clever?” Emu’s head was spinning by now. He strode outside and went for a run in the forest.

Confusion, plus 30% ANOTHER thing to catch the Emus’ attention back at home came from the wireless, a device Mrs Emu likes to have roaring perpetually in the kitchen on Radio Brain Dead. It shakes plates

as it instructs listeners that their lives are tragically incomplete without these pills or that fast, semi-edible substance. An advert has blasted its way into Emu’s conscious. It was from an electricity and gas retailer. A male voice repeatedly spruiked the massive advantage of switching to this bunch of crafty marketers – it offers a 30 per cent discount if clients pay on time. Emu did a double-take. Here is spin of a very high order, delivered at ear-destroying volume as if this adds credibility to the words if customers pay on time. What does this mean? Emu took up his abacus in case the Blushing Bride proposed aligning with this brigade of bawlers. What occurs if customers do not pay on time? Answer: they pay the normal, the standard, charge. Let’s say you get a $100 bill. Does this mean the “real” price is $130 ($100 plus $30), which you must cough up if you pay late? But (here Emu invites numerate readers to write in) if the “real” price is $130, shouldn’t you pay that sum minus 30 per cent of $130 – $39 – or $91? Or is the “real” charge even higher? Emu’s abacus is confused. Help! George Orwell invented the language “newspeak” in his novel 1984. “Doublethink” is “the act of ordinary people simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct … [the person] is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction,” according to Wikipedia. A book well worth reading. Even more apt in 2014 than in 1984.

Runners fit to stride through mounting challenge CLOSE to 2000 participants traversed the 6.7 kilometre course from Rosebud to Seawinds Gardens last Sunday in the most successful Arthurs Seat Challenge to date. Event ambassador, Commonwealth Games Marathon runner Sarah Klein, fired the starter’s gun as people of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels took off on the challenging course to the top of Arthurs Seat. The annual event, sponsored by Fit2Drive, aims to raise awareness of the over-representation of young people in road crashes. The weather for this year’s event was perfect for running or walking up the steep summit, which at its peak has a testing 9.5 degree gradient and 3 kilometre uphill climb. The one saving grace for competitors is the stunning view of over Port Phillip. Once again, there were some impressive results, with Craig Appleby, pictured right, first over the line in a mere 25 minutes and 15 seconds. Appleby glided over the line with a decent gap between himself and second placegetter, Cameron Hall, who is a previous winner of the event. The first woman to the finish line was Rebecca Rosel, pictured bottom centre, who looked strong as she charged up the hill to cross in a time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Twins, Elly and Sarah Jackson took second and third place for the women’s overall with times of 30 minutes 30 seconds and 30 minutes 59 seconds respectively. The dynamic duo are still juniors, and as such also took out first and second place in the under 18s female category. Other noteworthy efforts included Liam Hemingway, who was crowned under 18 male champion and Brodie Lynch, who came in second in the under 18s and took the title in the under 15 male category.

Bumper harvest beckons THE fishing in both bays continues to impress, and while it might surprise many, snapper aren't the only species being caught. Whiting are well and truly starting to move now in both Western Port and Port Phillip. However the really big catches aren't always coming from the shallow banks, with the deeper waters up to 14m seeming to be the go. Some catches of ting have gone close to the magic one kilogram mark. As much as snapper and whiting have been the target, angler's bycatch has been equally impressive. For those chasing snapper, the once elusive ling has made quite a few special guest appearances, while those after whiting and snapper have also been snagging a few nice gummy sharks. These have made some very welcome additions to the fisherman's basket. At this time of year, fishing options around the Peninsula are almost

endless – it all comes down to "what floats your boat". For those after snapper, both bays are fishing well. In Western Port, try Lysarghts and Rhyll. In Port Phillip, fish in 18.5m during the day and the shallows during the early morning and evening. Everywhere from St Kilda to Mt Martha has produced. For whiting and squid, the reefs and weed beds in both bays have held good numbers of both. While the traditional depths of 2-6 meters have fished well, in Western Port don't be afraid to fish as deep as 14m. Whether it's from a boat, rocks or the piers, you're a good chance of bagging a brace. Until next week, tight lines and calm seas  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire. com.au or call 5975 5479).

Anglers ramp up pressure on state ANGLERS are lobbying the state government to invest in boat ramps and launching facilities around Port Phillip and Western Port. VRFish, the peak body for Victorian recreational fishing, has released a “state election wish list” as the election campaign officially begins in the leadup to the 29 November poll. High on the list is a push for the major political parties to commit to investing $39 million over four years to upgrade boat ramps along the coast. The group’s state council developed

the list over the past two years to promote “the enormous public good in recreational fishing” and maximise “government investment into key programs, projects and services”. VRFish general manager Dallas D’Silva said the peak body would push for an incoming state government to use angling licence fees to be invested back into recreational fishing. He said independent reports provided to VRFish showed $70 million over seven years was needed to improve fishers’ access to the two bays.

“We decided on the figure of about $40 million over four years because that’s the term of a government,” Mr D’Silva said. VRFish has welcomed the Coalition government’s announcement of its ‘Better Bay Plan’. Premier Denis Napthine visited Carrum to commit $65 million “to protect and restore Port Phillip”. The Premier announced the government would phase out commercial netting in Port Phillip if re-elected. Existing commercial licences will be

bought back for $20 million over four years. The plan includes fishing pier upgrades in addition to a previous promise to spend $3.25 million revitalising Mordialloc pier. The Better Bay Plan includes $200,000 to be used to build an artificial reef off Mordialloc pier. VRFish said the Coalition’s $16 million Recreational Fishing Initiative had provided many lasting benefits and the previous Labor government had also made a similar level of commitment to recreational fishing. It said user de-

mand for boating facilities, especially during the summer months, was hindering recreational fishing and holding back the state’s economy. Boaties and recreational fishers are regularly forced to queue at boat ramps during peak summer periods. Mr D’Silva said VRFish had not officially heard from the major political parties about the group’s wish list. The full wish list will be released this week. Neil Walker

Record with bite LEANNE Duxbury’s daschounds Sadie and Reuben were among the 261 dogs to don pink bandana’s in a Guiness World Record attempt at Rosebud beach last weekend. The Angel Op shop’s Pink Angels fund-raising team confirmed participants had set a new Australian record but were still awaiting confirmation from Guinness officials of what they believe is a world record for the most dogs wearing a bandana. The previous record was 200. The Angel Op shop team was joined by Sorrento SES members for the charity event, dubbed “I gave a WOOF”, which aimed to raise money for the Peter Mac Weekend Walk to end Women’s cancer. The even preceded last week’s Guinness World Records Day, on 13 November which was celebrated across the world and included the first ever meeting of the world tallest man, Sultan Kösen, who stands at 251cm, with the world’s shortest ever man, Chandra Dangi who measures just 54.6cm.

LETTERS CEO had vision OUTGOING Mornington Peninsula Shire CEO Michael Kennedy has made a significant contribution to the Mornington Peninsula as we all enjoy it today. In 1993, as shire president of the Shire of Hastings, it was an honour to sign the contract that saw Dr Kennedy appointed CEO and start his distinguished career in local government. My council colleagues saw Dr Kennedy, who had previously earned a reputation in the transport and shipping industry as a “change manager”, as the outstanding candidate for the position at a time when local government in Victoria was being challenged to bring about change in the conduct of its business. Michael had hardly settled in to his role as CEO when the Kennett government initiated the restructure of local government across Victoria, reducing the number of municipalities from 210 to 79. Living up to his reputation as a change manager, and well aware of the strong possibility of amalgamation of the three municipalities on the peninsula, he encouraged cooperation between the shires of Mornington, Flinders and Hastings to consider and prepare for the eventuality of such an outcome. Over the ensuing 12 months the councillors, staff and communities of the three shires were consulted, resulting in the production of a document entitled “Vision Peninsula”, which clearly articulated the community’s preferred model by which any amalgamation should be implemented. Michael was already displaying his real passion for the uniqueness of the peninsula and an understanding of the challenge ahead in retaining its character. The amalgamations occurred in December 1994, incumbent councillors and CEO’S were sacked and, sadly, commissioners appointed by the Kennett government failed to embrace the “Vision Peninsula” model. Thankfully, after serving terms as CEO of City of Casey and City of Boroondara, Michael was appointed CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire in 1999 and quickly revisited and implemented his model, reopening and staffing the vacant shire offices in Hastings and Mornington, overcoming the sense of loss that had been felt by those communities over the preceding five years, and re-injecting the loss of expendable dollars those shopping centres had incurred while the two shire offices remained vacant. (I hear that the council of today is considering reversing that decision after more than 14 years of benefit to Mornington and Hastings, and trust those communities will vehemently oppose such a backward move.) Many have been quick to criticise the “Peninsula Way” and the “commitment to a sustainable peninsula” (safeguarding and embracing environment, economic and social elements), which have been the guiding principles initiated and implemented over the past 15 years by Dr Kennedy, but my observation is they are the envy of many in municipal government circles and without doubt the foundation stone for the future that we will treasure and enjoy. Michael’s astute negotiating skills and discerning eye on the future, along with the respect he has enjoyed at state and federal levels of government, have contributed significantly to the recently affirmed Statement of Planning Policy for the Mornington Peninsula, retaining the 70 per cent rural and 30 per cent urban split protecting the peninsula from unwanted growth and reserving it as the “playground for Melbourne”. Equally, funding applications for all facets of improved life on the peninsula have been achieved as a direct result of the respect he enjoys and the strong negotiating skills he possesses. Michael has recognised and respected the socio-economic differences that exist across the peninsula from the most affluent to the extremely poor and has guided the council in implementing appropriate, socially adjusted programs to meet those challenges. Respect has been shown to all sectors of our community during his time as CEO and the career opportunities offered to young residents, programs that support our elderly to stay in their homes or live more meaningful lives, equal opportunity in the shire workplace, and programs advancing reconciliation for the indigenous community will stand as testimony to his compassion and understanding of the needs of the community he served.

Michael Kennedy has been a dedicated, tireless and loyal servant of the shire throughout all the 15 years he has held the position of CEO. Brian L Stahl, OAM JP, Hastings

RET should stay WHEN Prime Minister John Howard introduced the Renewal Energy Target (RET) as bipartisan policy in 2001, he could not have imagined the speed with which renewable technologies such as rooftop solar developed. Neither could he have understood this technology would be implemented at far less cost than comparable centralised coal-fired power stations, subsidised as they are today by grants and favourable taxation, and governmentfunded rail and road infrastructure. Now the Abbott government, harassed and controlled by the coal industry, finds itself between a rock and a hard place, thanks to the former Howard government’s farsighted decision. Unlike when Howard was in government, there is now a real point of difference between the two sides of politics. Labor must honour Howard’s bipartisan RET target to remain credible. The question for the community is even simpler. If you like coal, vote Liberal; if you like the sun, vote Labor. Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Walk the beach REGARDING the article “Heat on beach renourishment plans as sand washes away” by Chris Brennan (Southern Peninsula News, 4/11/14), comments made by Cr Graham Pittock in the article show an alarming lack of understanding regarding the current coastal erosion pressures now affecting our coastline. Significant sections of our beaches are being eroded, dunes are being scoured by increasing wave action, and stabilising vegetation falling onto the beach. I suggest Cr Pittock talk a good walk along his local beach and have a good look. Kelvin Stingel, Blairgowrie

What has MP done? WHAT has Mornington’s Liberal MP David Morris protected? Has he protected the interest of the Point Nepean National Park developer? Has he protected the people who own land in the Woodland precinct of Mt Eliza? In my opinion, he has “protected” the truth about Woodland from the parliament and the public by overstating the level of support for not subdividing the precinct, and tabling a questionable petition in the parliament. He refused to advise the parliament when evidence of the questionable petition was provided to him. What else has he done for his electorate? He has acted as an MP of a very safe seat with scant regard of the interest of his constituents. He has been complicit in a government that has overseen an unemployment level heading higher than that of Tasmania. I suggest the electorate treat Mr Morris as he has treated the electorate – put him last on election day. Per Carlsen, Mt Eliza

Time for shire change THE long overdue appointment of a new CEO of Mornington Peninsula Shire will hopefully lead to a change of focus with the council reinstating the provision of free tip tickets to ratepayers and introducing a free hard waste collection. A great many councils in Victoria have the interests of their ratepayers and residents at the top of their priority list but this does not seem to be the case on the Mornington Peninsula. Abolishing the issuing of 25 per cent of free tip tickets a year with each rate notice was a petty and mean decision. No doubt the public justification was the impact on the council budget, this from a council that is happy to go into debt to build a swimming pool complex in Rosebud and to allocate ratepayer funds to a range of other expenditures that many would question. The majority of ratepayers and residents on the peninsula would benefit from free access to their local tip and a free hard waste collection. While a swimming pool complex at Rosebud might well be desirable to a good many, it would definitely not be the majority of peninsula residents.

I can only hope that the new broom at the head of the council administration will be looking at what is good for the majority and not just a section of the community within the municipality. Robin Cooper, Mt Eliza (former Liberal government minister)

The government should phase out assistance to independent schools; this would save money that can be used for the workers. If public schools aren’t good enough for people, then let them pay for their private schools. The same applies to hospitals. Many other non-public activities should also be shut down. Stan Hogan, Frankston

Port myths

Direct Action won’t cut it

THE proposed expansion of the Port of Hastings to accommodate the increase in large container ships is based on two myths. The first is that we can move 40-foot long containers on articulated trucks and long, slowmoving freight trains to Melbourne’s transport hub on the other side of the city and interstate without clogging our urban transport system. Even tunnels create immense problems as we can see with the present small but costly eastwest tunnel proposal. The second myth is that Western Port is a deep water port. It is not. It is a shallow, ancient river estuary and the river created a narrow, deep channel that is now used for ship access to Crib Point and Esso at Long Island Point. Over time, sea levels rose but Western Port remained shallow. We will be left with large-scale dredging and the risk of oil spills affecting our marine life and beautiful beaches while at the same time creating traffic chaos because Hastings is on the wrong side of Melbourne for viable, large-scale freight movement. David Gill, Balnarring

WILL Australia follow world leaders and their promise of 30 per cent emissions reductions? For 5 per cent by 2020, the biggest contribution by the Abbott government’s Direct Action was to come from forest planting, except “Failed carbon farm company ignored expert’s advice”, (The Age, 25/11/14) was about the Timbercorp and Southern Plantations tree farming failure. Is Mr Abbott still deluded about carbon in soils, even low grade soils, even dry locations, year after year, for ever and ever, Amen? From ABC’s Lateline: “Greg Hunt claims CO2 sequestration at 150 tonnes per hectare every year is ... inconsistent with CSIRO ... carbon actually in range only 0.3 to 2 tonnes per hectare per year. To reach necessary 2020 abatement quantum, this requires area of land up to twothirds of the Australian land mass, or 500 million hectares.” How can he endorse tree projects dodgy enough to cause losses for creditors and investors of as much as $100 million? Actual emission reduction projects don’t offer return on investment in contract period of only 5 years. So, abatement/offsets and efficiency are the go. Most fuss is about carbon in tree plantings; also, separately, carbon in soils, planted by Green Army, originally 300,000 trainees, planting 20 million trees. How does federal government look when even Blind Freddy can see it’s just 67 trees per trainee? The real problem is how do we reduce emissions, urgently? International treaties require growth in emissions to peak by 2020, replaced by zero emissions energy by 2040. Absorption of carbon is 94 per cent into oceans; land and plant matter help only a little. Absorption into oceans is so slow that it’s now desperately urgent to treat the cause, emission reductions, instead of tinkering with symptoms. Glimmer of hope is Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane asked about King Island proposal: “Wind farms are the only solution deliverable, big and fast enough to meet bipartisan and internationally committed target of 5 per cent emission reduction by 2020.” New technology can always help, whenever, but time is now for implementation using current technology. Because of implementation processes, technology will improve. We can’t afford to wait for magic silver bullet solutions. If Direct Action without deadlines, carrot or stick was always hopelessly inept for 5 per cent, surely for 30 per cent it’s time to reinstate carbon tax? Gough Whitlam made us feel proud and confident. Fearmonger Abbott makes us feel ashamed and helpless. Bernie McComb, Cowes

Silence on fish THANKS for your story on the state government’s plans to ban commercial fishing in Port Phillip (“Fishermen: nets ban a ‘stunt’”, The News, 11/11/14). More than a week ago I wrote to my local member of parliament, David Morris, and to the Minister for Agriculture and Food Security and Minister for Water, Peter Walsh, requesting information on the science informing this decision but have not heard a peep from either. Joanne Winterbottom, Mornington

Prosperous future? WITH the assured victory of Dan Andrews and his Labor team in the state election, Victorians can look forward to a more prosperous future. We expect to see the incoming Labor government implement well-deserved wage rises across all government agencies, and to see these flow on to the private sector with the assistance of the unions. We don’t accept the employers’ case that wage rises must be related to productivity increase; this is just a ploy for higher profits. We also expect the Labor government to systematically improve working conditions with better penalty rates, higher superannuation and better leave conditions. If this results in budget deficits, these can be dealt with at a later time. Let’s get things going for the workers now.

Crown land: The Department of Environment and Primary Industries, and Parks Victoria, want shire-owned land at Concept Spur to become part of Arthurs Seat State Park. Picture: Yanni

Arthurs Seat land swap proposed From Page 1 She said offset land may be outside the shire or Skylift could pay DEPI to replant native vegetation. The Concept Spur land of 55 hectares (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 un-

likely 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 in the unlikely event it came on the market. The News understands some shire councillors are unhappy about the lack of information about the land swap and are pursuing more detail from shire officers.

You can choose to visit particular attractions like Peninsula Hot Springs, Quarantine Station, Point Nepean or Boneo Maze, jumping off for the experience then back on whenever next bus suits you - the buses loop 18 stops hourly during peak times so you can create a different itinerary for each Peninsula stay. Choose three or four attractions and beaches: spend an hour or two at each and loop back to where you started, at the time that best suits you. Stops include Peninsula Hot Springs, Sorrento Village, Millionaire’s Walk Portsea, Portsea village, Quarantine Station- Point Nepean, the Ferry Terminal, First Settlement Site- Sorrento, Blairgowrie Village, Rye Township, Rye Ocean Beach, St Andrews Beach Golf Club, Gunnamatta Trail Rides, Boneo Maze, Moonah Links Golf Course, Nepean Country Club and Day Spa and Eagle Ridge Golf Course, Cups Estate Winery,

For peninsula visitors, the Peninsula Explorer bus enables the choice to leave your car at your accommodation and visiting southern peninsula attractions without needing to drive for your entire stay. Along with well-known tourism attractions, the bus route connects ocean with bay, four golf courses, numerous walking trail options and dozens of accommodation venues. You can purchase passes valid for 24 hours or 3 days, consider a 10 visit value pass for peninsula regulars, or even annual passes perfect for peninsula locals. Visitors can also use the service to experience a two-hour tour around the route - with narrative telling local stories, which coincide with stops. Every stop has a story, and the Peninsula Explorer brings the stories of the region to life. Visitors’ will be engaged in a lively and entertaining way, learning about the special qualities of the region - the people, the places, and mysterious and surprising events. The stories are also a great learning experience for the children of local peninsula families.

You can call off the search THE great Australian dream of the house and quarter acre block has never looked so stylish or been more affordable than this picturesque property in tranquil Bittern. A beautiful decor announces itself with subtle touches rather than grand overwhelming statements, and the polished floorboards throughout are sensational. A bright and engaging formal lounge room has several nooks to establish pleasant sitting or study spaces, and also in this front end are the main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, and a second bedroom ideal for a nursery or home office. A splendid kitchen is the centrepiece of the family zone, set towards the rear of the home. A big wrap around bench has feature splashbacks and incorporates the dishwasher, there is a corner pantry, and recessed into the wall is a stainless-steel oven. Comfortable dining and family areas sit either side and down the hall are two more bedrooms with built-in robes that share the main bathroom. A smart laundry has plenty of storage options. With the warmer months coming, the covered rear deck with outdoor kitchen and Coonara woodheater add another dimension to the property and will greatly accentuate the available living space. Surrounded by scoria landscaping and plenty of greenery, the extensive decking runs around two sides of the home and from here you can easily keep an eye on the activities in the enormous backyard. A double garage is set at the top of a semi-circle driveway, and the adjoining parking bays and through-access to the backyard will accommodate several vehicles. A choice of excellent beaches in Somers and Balnarring are a short drive away, as are primary schools, shops, bus and rail transport.

MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER

If you live in or around Melbourne near grass, bush or reserves, you need to prepare for fire this summer. Last summer, we saw fast moving grassfires right on the edge of Melbourne as well as large fires that damaged homes and properties just outside the city fringe. This year, we’re expecting another hot summer that will result in more hot, dry, windy days, increasing the chance of grassfire. Fire Action Week (beginning Sunday November 16) is the best time to understand what to do if a fire starts near your home or workplace, and get prepared. If you live next to grassland, you should have already cleared weeds and removed firewood and rubbish from around your property. Advice from fire authorities is that if a grassfire starts, and you live directly next to grassland, you need to act quickly and move one or two streets away from the fire. Avoid driving in a grassfire because it will be smoky and hard to see, and traffic jams and accidents are likely. They also advise that if you don’t live directly next to grassland and a grassfire starts, it’s safer to stay where you are because it’s unlikely a fire will spread past the first row of houses. If you live near bush, you need to check Fire Danger Ratings daily and monitor the weather conditions. On Severe, Extreme or Code Red days, the safest option is to get out early. Prepare for fire now by putting a plan in place for what you’ll do if a fire starts, and discussing it with your household so everyone knows what to do. For more planning and preparation information, or to check Fire Danger Ratings this summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au, download the FireReady app, or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667. Remember, it’s up to you to understand your fire risk and be ready to act. The Hon Dr Denis Napthine MP Premier of Victoria

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Lord Roberts dead at 83, election next week Compiled by Melissa Hodge WE regret to state that Miss Boulter, sister of Rosa Alba, the brilliant soprano, is at present an inmate of Dr Maxwell’s Private Hospital. We trust that she will have a speedy recovery. *** IT is with pleasure we note that Mr Walter Jess, the well known tenor of the Conly Company, is the proud father of a son and heir. *** EVERYBODY is discussing Rosa Alba, take the opportunity of hearing her yourself at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert. This will indeed be a treat, be sure you don’t miss it. *** MRS Ritnuer wishes it known that she has had her premises in Payne Street thoroughly renovated and has always on hand good stocks of fresh fruit and vegetables. She has also a comfortable room where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea, ice cream, or confectionery. *** MR Broadbent notifies by advertisement that he has commenced business in Skye Road, Frankston, as a plumber and gas fitter, and is prepared to take orders for all kinds of plumbing. *** THE State Elections Polling Day is fixed for next Thursday, when the booths in the various electorates will be open from 8 am till 7 p.m. Mr A. Downward will address the electors of Frankston on Tuesday evening

next, and Cr Murphy will also address them on Wednesday evening. *** THE honorees. (Dr S. Plowman and Mr O. P. Watson) of the presentation to the members of the Second Expeditionary Forces, will be glad to receive any donations from those interested. As an early departure of the troops is apparent, it will be necessary for these donations to be sent in immediately so as to arrange a public presentation. *** MISS Rosa Alba the brilliant new soprano, has a beautiful light voice of bright tone and appealing quality. Frankston and surrounding district will have the opportunity of hearing this talented artist at the Frankston Choral Society’s complimentary concert on December 5th at the Mechanics Hall, Frankston. *** DEEP regret has been caused throughout the Commonwealth by the news that Field–Marshall Lord Roberts VC has died as a result of a chill while on a visit to France. The great solider was in his 83rd year. The Federal Government on Sunday received the following cablegram from the high commissioner. “Lord Kitchner received this (Saturday) evening a telegram from Sir John French.”I regret to inform you that Lord Roberts died this evening. Lord Roberts was on a trip to France to greet the Indian troops. He contracted a chill on Thursday, and succumbed to an attack of pneumonia.

*** THE children of my district are fine, loyal, generous young Britishers, so says Mr Lewis Thomas BA, Inspector of the Warnambool district. They are doing all in their power to continue to help the noblest of causes. One school of ten pupils sent in £10; another of 40 pupils forwarded £21 to swell the funds of the Education Department Patriotic League. This work is going on all over the State: no wonder the Inspectors are proud of the work of children, parents, and teachers. The Warnambool district has accumulated £230, and the work is still going on. *** THE youngsters of the State are taking the war very seriously. At the Queenscliff State School six pupils won prizes at the local Flower Show. The first intimation that Mr Hughes, their head teacher, had of their praiseworthy intention, was their handing in the whole of their prize money to their School Self-denial Patriotic Fund. Well done young loyalists. *** WE desire to call the attention of your readers to an advertisement in another column, concerning the Frankston Patriotic and Presentation Fund. It will be seen that a meeting of contributors will be held at the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Monday the 23rd to consider the disposal of the funds now in hand and to make arrangements for the entertainment and presentation to members of the second Expeditionary Force who may have been drawn from Frankston and immediately

surrounding district. It is to be hoped that there will be a full attendance. *** A TEAM of six tennis players from Frankston visited Dandenong last Saturday week. Dandenong was again victorious, winning by 14 games. A most enjoyable time was spent by all. A match is to take place today, on the Frankston courts, against Somerville. The team will consist of the following members:- Mrs Shannon, Mrs H. Robertson, Misses Gregory and Young, Messrs Robertson, Utber, Watson, and Rev Kitchen. *** THE Frankston Methodist Christian Endeavour society and choir arranged a very pleasant surprise to Mr and Mrs Charles Ellis, who recently returned to Frankston, after their honeymoon. The ordinary C. E. meeting was altered to one of a social character and the members, who individually possess good voices made the evening pass too quickly with songs and recitations. Mr Ellis has been a most active and useful member of both bodies, and Mrs Ellis has already shown her sympathy and willingness to take an active part. Before the evening was finished the Rev R Jackson presented Mr and Mrs Ellis with a handsome crystal and silver salad bowl, and expressed very best wishes for their future happiness. *** HOW SOLDIER’S WIVES LIVE “Everylady’s Journal,” the magazine

par excellence of Australia and New Zealand, is catering magnificently for its readers in these times of war. The November issue, just in hand, is the third of its Special War Number, and establishes it’s claim to be called the best to date. The special war material in Everylady’s Journal begins with a little cluster of interviews of returned Australian girls and articles from London correspondent which conveys a wonderfully vivid impression of the state of excitement into which England was thrown by the outbreak of war. Then a woman writer with a clear grasp of affairs describes the fighting of the past month, and shows what the Allies have gained. Another tells of ‘life in Berlin during peace time, and quotes a wonderfully stirring poem called “The Kaiser Comes.” Of great local interest are the views of a number of notable people on how the wives of soldiers can maintain their husband’s income while they are away at the war. The Lady Mayoress advocates culture, the Chief Secretary suggests fishing, and so on. Lady Helen Munro-Ferguson, head of the Red Cross Society, explains in an interview, what goods are still required; and W. A. Somerset supplies a descriptive sketch of the Australian troops marching through the streets, illustrated with a couple of remarkable photographs, one of which is perhaps the best marching picture that has appeared. From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 21 November, 1914.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

My experiences deconstructing degustation By Stuart McCullough WHEN it comes to the culinary arts, I can put up with just about anything. I can tolerate ‘jus’ even though my heart longs to leap out through my chest and scream ‘pretentious!’. I can even put up with a wanton use of the term ‘reduction’. Heavens above, I can even turn a blind eye to things that have been ‘caramelized’ beyond recognition. When it comes to food, I can endure all sorts of chicanery. Anything, that is, except a dish that has been ‘deconstructed’. Let’s start with the term itself. Put simply, if something is ‘deconstructed’, it is either yet to be constructed or, worse still, it was previously constructed but some bludger has decided to pull it apart for no reason other than to be a bit of a twerp. The former smacks of laziness. The latter screams of the nastiest kind of sabotage imaginable. Why ruin a perfectly good meal by disassembling and making it appear as though it fell onto the plate from a great height? Deconstructed food is all about giving you much loved classic meals in a form that makes them totally unrecognizable. It’s the Renee Zellweger principle, except it’s served either with chips or salad. Let me say right here that I’m absolutely against it. I realize that the principle of deconstruction is rooted in reinvention, whereby overly familiar things are re-presented for a modern age. But you can go too far. It’s like that old saying: don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater. Granted, it’s an odd turn of phrase. Truly, who would ever empty a bath

PAGE 38

and lose a child? You’d have to either be in an incredible rush or wholly indifferent. In fact, when I think about it, it’s not so much a proverb as it is an act of criminal negligence. At least it doesn’t involve animal cruelty. It’s quite shocking when you think of how many of our key proverbs involve brutality to animals in some form, espe-

Southern Peninsula News 18 November 2014

cially felines. ‘There’s more than one way to skin a cat’, ‘not enough room to swing a cat’, ‘dead cat bounce’ and ‘busier than a three legged cat in a dry sandbox’ to name but a few. As for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater, despite it’s apparent endorsement of infant cruelty, the proverb is neither about babies nor bathwater. It’s

about remembering what made something special in the first place. Let me be clear. When I order a meal, I like to be able to recognize it when it turns up. It’s no good if your plate of food has to be explained to you by the waiter. In fact, when I cook something from a recipe, one of my key performance indicators is whether it looks anything like the picture in the book. This is the first sign that I am (hopefully) on the right track. But deconstructed meals take the exact opposite approach. If a deconstructed meal bears any resemblance to the original meal, it is regarded as a colossal failure. It’s the abstract expressionism of cooking. It’s food in disguise. When I order a lasagne, I don’t want a dish that looks as though it’s entered the culinary equivalent of the witness protection program. I want something I know and love. In short, I want exactly what I asked for. We’d had a lovely dinner when I decided to order dessert. It’s an unusual step for me. Usually, I go overboard on the bread and the idea of pudding is dismissed as gluttony. But having enjoyed my meal and not wanting the evening to end, I decided I’d ask for the menu. Looking through the list, all the favourites were there – crème brulee, chocolate mousse, tiramisu. All of them fine in their own way, but not the kind of showstopper I had in mind. I wasn’t just looking for the end of a meal. I was looking for an encore. A final bow that would have me leaving the restaurant, raving about the whole night. I wanted a curtain call that would knock me clear off my feet.

Then I saw it – Pavlova. Pavlova is pretty much Australia’s national dessert. Except if you’re from New Zealand. Whilst there’s some room for improvisation, particularly in terms of which fruit you’re going to put on top (strawberries versus kiwi fruit versus mixed berries), all other aspects of the art form are pretty much settled. Or so I’d thought. Meringue, a crispy shell and maybe some cream – these are the heart and soul of any pav worth it’s salt (there’s no actual salt in the recipe, although there is vinegar). They’re what I expected. And, truth be told, I got them all. Just not in one piece. It was as though my dessert had been run over by a large vehicle. The meringue sat in the corner as if it’d been given detention. The fruit was ganged together, hiding from the meringue. The cream had the whole dessert surrounded, smeared around the edge of the plate. But of all the indignities, it was the crust that suffered most of all. It appeared as a chewy tube, resting on the meringue like a fallen girder. I was outraged. If I want to buy something I have to assemble myself, I’ll go to IKEA. I’m all for reinvention, but you shouldn’t destroy the classics. I don’t want the constituent parts of my meal looking as if they’ve just had a falling out and aren’t presently speaking to each other. When I asked for waiter for the instructions, he took my little fork, replacing it with an Allen key and a diagram. Suddenly, I’d lost my appetite. I’m used to BYO meals, but DYI is simply too much. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

KNOWLEDGE FEST AT PHILLIP ISLAND’S SMALL FARM + LIFESTYLE EXPO THIS weekend’s (Nov 22/23) Small Farm + Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit promises to be a knowledge fest on all things rural! The inaugural expo, to be held Saturday and Sunday, November 22 and 23, will feature over 100 exhibitions and speakers from Landcare, the Bass Coast Shire, the farming community and Phillip Island Nature Park Reserve. Landcare will speak both days on rural issues like soil salinity, native vegetation, control of vermin and sustainable farming practices; while Bass Coast Shire will share news on planning and development, their vision for the area, growth initiatives and tourism. The wildlife rangers from the Phillip Island Nature Park will address expo-goers on the interaction between farming communities and the reserves, and farming and wildlife; while Phillip Island farmer, Ian McFee, will speak on managing a small farm efficiently. “We really want to ensure our visitors walk away well-armed and aware of the resources available in the local community,” said circuit managing director, Fergus Cameron, whose family has farmed the region for three generations. “There’s been a lot of changes in agricultural practices in the last decade and this Expo is designed

to bring the experts together so that over the two days our visitors get answers to their questions on rural life.” All presentations will be held in the Motorsport Expo Building surrounded by over 100 Expo exhibitors many discussing animals to run on small properties like sheep, alpacas and poultry.

Many real life farmers feature in the speaker lineup, happy to tell with good humour and candidness how they made their dream of a rural lifestyle a reality, and the ups and downs of the journey. Grantville’s Phil Westwood from FreeRanger Eggs, will speak on successful poultry farming on

small landholdings; while Anna Kilborn from ECube, who grazes beef and sheep in the Strzelecki Ranges, runs a business advising clients on environmental practices and has plenty of advice to share. “I have many funny stories about the rural lifestyle experience. I’m happy to tell you of my adventure, warts and all, and the lessons I’ve learnt along the way,” Anna said. Exhibitors represent a wide range of agriculture. The Warragul Poultry Club stand will provide information on the various breeds of poultry, feeding and equipment for chooks, chook health, care of chooks and chickens and the role of chooks in sustainable agriculture. “We’ll also have a petting zoo for the children,” says Kevin Collins from Warragul Poultry Club who will have a display of eight different chooks that can be patted and petted. “We’ll have Daisy, our little white Australian Langshan, a hen and her baby chicks, a duck and her little ducklings and two of the only four Australian pure breeds of poultry.” Chooktred and Suburban Chooks will also be talking about all things chooky, while Grand Ridge Sheep Stud will provide information on sheep and Pakenham Produce has the latest on

feed for animals. There will also be exhibitions on the latest farm machinery, implements, power equipment and cutting edge farm technology. There will be a strong focus on organic and sustainable living products, with everything from worm farms to solar lights being featured. On the lifestyle side, there will be exhibitors covering a range of leisure pursuits from water sports, and camping, to four wheel driving, health and tourism. The Small Farm Expo will be housed in the 2000 square metre pavilion usually used for motorsport expos with external sites featuring agricultural animal displays. A dedicated rough terrain area will allow for quad bikes, gators, Ag bikes to be put through their paces and a working farm area will showcase the latest farm machinery, tractors, slashers and ride-on mowers. Keen to master rural life? Take some advice from locals happy to share their experience at the Small Farm & Lifestyle Expo at the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit, Saturday and Sunday November 22 and 23 from 9am- 5pm. Adults $10 entry at gate; and children 17 and under, and dogs - on a leash - admitted free. For further information go to www.phillipislandcircuit.com.au

ENTERTAINMENT

Performance THE Australian rock scene of the 70s was at its best, courtesy of Marshall Amplification and bands like the Skyhooks, Sports, Company Caine, Mighty Kong, The Toads and Murtceps. For the best part of the seventies Australia created ever more sophisticated popular rock bands that had re-drawn the boundaries of acceptability and given the youth of Australia its own music, so no JOK, Johnny Chester or Delltones; but JOK did make the stage at Sunbury to a surprisingly joyous crowd, about the time l was looking for my clothes l had left on the river bank. To celebrate the 70s, Warner Music and Festival Records have released a new double CD set When the Sun Sets over Carlton: Melbourne’s Countercultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70’s. A deluxe 2CD set documents the arts and politics-infused rock scene that gave Melbourne and Australia such multifaceted cultural icons as Paul Kelly, Joe Camilleri, Stephen Cummings, Jane Clifton, Peter Lillie, Ross Wilson, Ross Hannaford, Greg Macainsh, Red Symons and Shirley Strachan. Taking its title from the famous song by the scene’s best known band Skyhooks, the album traces the counter cultural scene’s development from its beginnings in venues like the TF Much Ballroom and Carlton’s La Mama and Pram Factory theatres through Skyhooks breakout success to the thriving pub scene found in legendary venues like Martini’s and the Tiger Lounge. It presents also a glimpse of the birth of Melbourne’s hugely influential 3RRR-FM, which was born out of this scene. It features rare and unreleased recordings from Paul Kelly, Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, The Sports & Daddy Cool, as well as first recordings of future members of The Divinyls, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse & Crowded House. The 44-track collection includes Daddy Cool covering Skyhooks in ’74, an unreleased Skyhooks demo featuring original singer Steve Hill, two unreleased studio recordings by Paul Kelly’s first band The High Rise Bombers and two little-known tracks from the selfreleased 1979 EP by his next band The

Dots, an unreleased early Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons demo from ’76, a preSports demo by Stephen Cummings with Dave Flett, the first track ever released by Wayne Burt’s pre-Falcons Band (with Pat Wilson) Rock Granite, an unreleased Bleeding Hearts demo produced by Greg Macainsh and rare material from the Pure Shit soundtrack. It also features a mix of classic and lesser known other material from the likes of The Sports, Stiletto (featuring Jane Clifton), The Bleeding Hearts, The Pelaco Bros (featuring Stephen Cummings, Peter Lillie, Johnny Topper and Joe Camilleri), Eric Gradman Man & Machine, early Mondo Rock, Company Caine, Spare Change (featuring John Dowler), Parachute, Mark Gillespie, The Millionaires, The Indelible Murtceps (alter-ego of the legendary Spectrum), Peter Lillie & The Leisuremasters and more. The collection comes in a slipcase and with an illustrated 52-page booklet fea-

turing 15,000 words from musicians including Paul Kelly, Jane Clifton, Johnny Topper as well as esteemed rock writer Jen Jewel Brown. The album’s eyepopping logo/title design was drawn by legendary ‘70s Australian cartoonist and cover/poster artist Ian McCausland. To coincide with release, Festival will also be releasing Expanded Editions of the classic albums by two of Melbourne and indeed Australia’s most-loved bands of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s period; the first two albums by The Sports (Reckless & Don’t Throw Stones from 78 & 79) and Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons’ breakthrough album from (Screaming Targets from 79) . All three albums, which were originally released on Mushroom and have been long out of print on CD, have been remastered from original tapes. Songs like Hit and Run, Shape I’m In, Don’t Throw Stones, When You Walk in the Room, Who Listens to the Radio and more. When the Sun Sets Over Carlton:

Melbourne’s Counter cultural Inner City Rock Scene of the ‘70s’ now available at all stores. *** MARK Walberg will star in the movie, Six Billion Dollar Man. The film is based on the 1970s television series ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’, and will see the actor reunite with director Peter Berg (Lone Survivor). The TV series starred Lee Majors as Steve Austin, a former astronaut outfitted with bionic implants. A popular science fiction series which later had a love interest with the series The Bionic Woman. The series was cancelled in 1978. *** ROBERT Plant has turned down millions of dollars from Sir Richard Branson to reunite Lez Zeppelin. Sir Richard offered the deal to play 35 dates in three cities, London, Berlin and New Jersey. Branson also offered to let the band use one of his jets and rename it ‘The Starship’. Jimmy page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham (son of John Bonham) agreed to the tour but Plant said no. *** GOLDEN Guitar winner, singer/songwriter, historian, author, TV presenter and school teacher, Ted Egan OAM will launch his new book The Anzacs: 100 Years On in Story and Song at the Frankston RSL on Thursday November 27, 2-4pm. Egan will also perform and copies of the book with CD of 20 songs will be on sale. Egan began writing songs about life in the Northern Territory in the 1960s and made his first recordings in 1969. He has produced over twenty albums and appeared on a regular basis at folk and country music festivals. He has several degrees in literature and history and is a member of the first National Reconciliation Council. For more details email books@wilddingopress.com.au *** SHANE Nicholson’s prolific musical career began with rock band Pretty Violet Stain in the late ‘90’s. After two EP’s and the album Parachutes & Gravity, Shane began a solo project with 2003’s its A Movie, later voted by USA Today as one of the Top 10 Pop Albums of 2004. This

tion is above board are fully paid up members of the “A fool and his money are soon parted” society. Locally we received a letter from Minister for Education Martin Dixon, inculcate, none the wiser. Martin sent a second glossy, historical as an example of how a political party can twist the truth. We await the result, knowing full well every front page from that newspaper will feature disaster for Labor voters. Either way I expect nothing for the Mornington Peninsula with an unbeatable majority. Be nice to know Danny Andrew’s thinking on the 99 year lease at Point Nepean, or public housing at Fishermans Bend? *** I have nothing against Denis; if he gets in good luck to him, although I would love to see the back of Matthew Guy. In terms of danger to our way of life I rate Denis as a daddy long legs against the redback Minister for Immigation and border protection, and of course the dastardly Sydney funnel web. *** Best to leave crime statistics to the police, likewise paramedic and CFA response times and the results of the investigation into sexual exploitation. Let us know after the election apparently. Some things are held back to “after” while others, as with the East West Link to “before”. There were 10,670 bashings, robberies, sex at-

tacks and deaths in the CBD during the past five years, but “too much information”, unless this included Muslims. In the meantime I’m listening to Deano Martini singing “You’re nobody till somebody loves you”. *** I need Deano at times, particularly when females sprout their advices on the wireless “Everybody needs 8 hours sleep, eat your greens, exercises”. Always females, no idea why? I recall Phillip Adams talking of a chap who lived on canned food for years. Then there was Virgil G Perkins, author of international best-seller Enjoying Jogging who collapsed and died whilst jogging aged 26, leaving behind a wife, Beverley, their daughter, Alexis, and seven other children by previous marriages. *** I wrote to the great Gough Whitlam in the 70‘s asking why he supported Indonesia’s takeover of East Timor. Days later Gough telephoned, carefully explaining his reasoning. We agreed to disagree but quite a gentleman. We who lived through those years were so very lucky. Gough stood head and shoulders (literally and spiritually) above everyone. He was our star, our inspiration, our hope, by a mile. “Optimism, enthusiasm and confidence against fear, prejudice and conformity”. At Gough’s memorial service Graham Freuden-

berg said “never more than now”. Spot on Graham. *** Jeffrey Kennett, always remembered with the arrival of our electricity bills, now holds a position of some respect within our community. Jeffrey has kindly taken it upon himself to delve into the reasons leading to our choice at the forthcoming state election sighting performance, personality and policies as the ingredients to watch out for. It’s “London to a brick on” his bottom line will be in favour of dashing Denis Napthine. Stop Press: A week later Jeffrey came out in favour of Dashing Denis. Coincidentally Denis has promised more schools. That’s funny, seeing as our man Jeffrey closed so many in his time. *** A joint state and federal police task force to investigate union corruption compliments of Tony and Denis called on the day before the political election cut off period. Danny welcomes this investigation, again lying low. Why not call it as it so obviously is Danny? A set-up! Have a go ya mug! One wonders what our police forces were doing prior to Tony’s call to arms? The disturbing aspect is that it shows the degree to which our politicians think of us. *** The Australian Study of Health and

was followed in 2006 by Faith and Science. Both albums resulted in extensive touring in Australia and USA. In 2008, Shane and Kasey Chambers released Rattlin’ Bones. The album debuted at No.1, achieved platinum sales, was awarded Best Country Album at the ARIA Awards. The ARIA Award-nominated Familiar Ghosts followed, debuting at No.6 on the albums chart. Shortly thereafter moving into production, Shane worked across albums for Catherine Britt, Beccy Cole, Angie Hart, Alex Lloyd and many more. Shane’s 4th solo album Bad Machines debuted at No.3 on the ARIA Country Charts, scored 6 Golden Guitar nominations (winning Song of the Year), a Best Country Album ARIA nomination, and the APRA Country Work of the Year award. Shane and Kasey’s second collaborative effort, Wreck & Ruin, debuted at No.6 in October 2012, scored 5 CMAA nominations (winning Best Group/Duo) and took them to the Grand Ole Opry. In December 2013, it won the ARIA Award for Best Country Album. Shane Nicholson has now signed to Lost Highway Records (Universal Music) as a Staff Producer and artist and will release a new album Pitch, Roll & Yaw: Live and Solo this week. Lost Highway has signed and been instrumental in the careers of some of the biggest roots and country artists in the world, including Ryan Adams, Lucinda Williams, the Jayhawks, Whiskeytown, Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynne, the hugely successful soundtrack of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, Willie Nelson, the late Johnny Cash and many others. www.shanenicholson.com facebook. com/ShaneNicholsonMusic twitter.com/shanenicholson

A Grain of Salt UNBIASED ELECTION EDITION: I read my favourite newspaper (Herald-Sun) every morning. I skip Andrew Bolt obviously. I might be stupid but I’m not that stupid. As always to the double page spread “YOUR SAY”. I ponder for hours at Bob’s Cafe (free newspaper), forever wondrous of the intellectual wit of those letter writers providing the majority thoughts of our nation. As Alan Marshall wrote in This is the Grass “I have sometimes thought that if the people with the crippled minds had to have the visible supports of those with crippled legs the streets of Melbourne would be loud with the tapping of crutches”. *** The polls indicate Andrews but they did the same with Brumby last time. What with Teddy Baillieu, Geoff Shaw and Denis the menace capturing the headlines young Danny Andrews has been able to keep his head down, occasionally being allowed to bob up with world shattering ideas like school kids meals, Grand Final holiday and number plates. Factually, economically, the Libs arrived 4 years ago in good health but we have gone slightly downhill since. Personally I see health services and obviously basic living costs as the big two. We are being treated like bunnies in matters of electricity, gas and water, and those who believe superannua-

By Cliff Ellen Reproduction’s study of 20,000 people disclosed on average men have sex with 18 women in a lifetime. Exciting news. I thought I was past it, but apparently there’s another 17 beautiful females out there waiting for me. Unless they happen to be Green voters? Sometimes it’s appropriate (in public) to be loose with the truth. *** COMEDY: Senator the Hon George Brandis QC is Minister for the Arts? Funnier: Direct Action Plan? Hilarious: Victoria’s anti-corruption watchdog... Drama is the opposition of two sides that are right, or else conflict doesn’t amount to anything...I adored Jane’s weather reports on ABC News...I plonked heavily on 4, 13 & 22 in the Melbourne Cup, bringing to 58 the number of losing bets since 1956; Evening Peal...eHarmony.com. au might be the go for me; it’s still Spring after all...The mushroom syndrome applies-keep them in the dark and feed them fertiliser...It’s the Government who needs watching, not the people, aided and abetted by a morning newspaper....hooroo...cliffie9@ bigpond.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Baxter sitting pretty at the top PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER is sitting pretty at the top of the MPCA Provincial cricket ladder after smashing Rye outright on Saturday at RJ Rowley Reserve. Heading into day two of the clash, Baxter was already in a commanding position after bowling out the Demons for just 117 in the first innings. Baxter then made a quick fire 7/164 before having a crack at Rye again late on the first day. Resuming at 1/4, Rye didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play any better in their second innings, bowled out for just 92. Skipper Tom Baron top scored with an unbeaten 33.

After picking up five wickets in the first innings, Leigh Paterson was the destroyer again in the second dig, snaring another five scalps. At one stage Rye was 5/17. The visitors needed just 40-odd runs in the second inning to pick up the outright victory. They made the required runs with just three wickets down. Baxter is now two points clear of Long Island, who sit in second place after disposing of Pines. After setting the Piners 253 for victory, Scott Phillips brought his A-game to the table and tore through the opposition, picking up 4/29. Greg Lamb and Chris Hocking also took two wickets each, eventually

rolling the home side for just 137. Jarred Coad was the sole contributor for the Piners, scoring a third of the total teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runs with 56. Sorrento is in third place on the ladder after humiliating Langwarrin. The Sorras were restricted to a modest total of 210 when they batted on day one of the match, however, it was always going to be enough against the brittle Langwarrin batting line-up. For the second time in as many matches, Langwarrinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batsmen rolled over, dismissed for just 114. Andy Johnson top scored with 40 and Matt Prosser hit 24, however, the day belonged to the Sorrento bowlers. AJ King is in scintillating form this

season and he was the destroyer on Saturday, taking 4/23. His brother CJ was just as damaging with 3/43 while Anthony Blackwell chipped in with 2/17. Pensinsula Old Boys round off the top four after they eased to victory against Crib Point. The Old Boys were good with the bat last week making 8/262. It proved to be almost 150 runs too many for the Magpies, who were skittled for just 132. Mt Eliza got its season back on track, picking up its first points of the season after cruising to victory against Heatherhill. Setting the Hills 259 for victory, the Mounties already had the opposition

on the ropes when they resumed at 1/9. The Hills would add just a further 98 runs, bowled out for 117. Lyle House took 6/39. Mt Eliza obviously went for the outright win but Heatherhill dug deep and at the close of play were 3/85. Mornington also went for the outright victory after bowling Moorooduc out for just 69 in their first innings. The Dogs made 158 on the opening day of the match and had the Ducs 2/25 overnight. In the second innings, Moorooduc ended on 6/78.

Hillmen earn a tough win DISTRICT By IT Gully RED HILL remains six points clear at the top of the MPCA District cricket ladder after holding off a persistent Carrum on Saturday. The Hillmen set the Lions a whopping 291 for victory after skipper Simon Dart smacked 180 in the opening day of the match. It always looked like too many runs for the Lions to chase down but they gave it a red hot crack, eventually bowled out for 250 with eight overs to spare. A number of Carrum batsmen got great starts but just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push on and get the three figures, which was needed from at least one of their batsmen. Dean Polson top scored for the Lions with 61, while Dylan Steed (47), Josh Dent (32), Dale Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil (32) and Liam Dobson (25) all got very good starts. Andrew Mock was the pick of the bowlers for the Hillmen with 3/26 from eight overs, while Lincoln Toy and Brent Martin each claimed two wickets. Mt Martha is in second place on the ladder after making light work of Delacombe Park. The Reds are in some great form this season and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the younger players who are bringing the good form to the table. On Saturday, the Reds were defending 227, a tall order

considering the talent of the Parkersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; batting line up. However, other than an 83 from skipper Chris Brittain, the visitors were ordinary at best with the bat. Despite the loss, Delacombe is still equal fourth on points, however, they are 18 points behind Mt Martha. Seaford is outright third on 30 points after getting the job done against Main Ridge. Main Ridge was always on the back foot after being bowled out for just 138 on the first day of the match. Seaford was resuming at 2/27 but 47 runs from Damien Lawrence assured the visitors of a victory. Scott Millar was superb with the ball for the Ridge with 7/78. Seaford was eventually bowled out for 193. Main Ridge had another hit and fared much better in their second innings, scoring 2/262, Michael Holmes top scoring with 79. Somerville scraped over the line against Flinders, getting home in a thriller by just three runs. Somerville was defending 191 and had Flinders resuming at 3/49. That quickly became 5/87. However, Tommy Clements (34), Shane Beggs (40) and Andrew Power (30) all got among the runs, giving Flinders plenty of hope. At one stage, Flinders was looking like it was in the box seat at 6/170. However, the Sharks lost two

quick wickets with the score on 171 and 173, before again looking in command at 8/188, just four runs shy of winning. However, they lost 2/0 to be bowled out for 188. Aaron Kaddatz was superb with 4/53 for the Eagles, picking up the tail that was causing all the damage. Matt Eager was also fantastic, picking up the key wickets of Tom Clements, Beggs and Power. Hastings has clawed its way off the bottom of the ladder after a strong victory against Boneo. The Blues went into the second day of its match in a commanding position after setting the opposition 234 for victory. Boneo fell well short, bowled out for 143. The skipper Timmy Birch led from the front, snaring 3/18, while Mitchell Floyd pickedup 3/26 to give him eight wickets for the season and Chris Sawosz helped himself to 2/13 from nine overs. Stewart Mathieson top scored for the Pandas with 43, batting at nine. Seaford Tigers were touched-up by Baden Powell. The Braves only made 180 in 80 overs on week one of the match, however, bowled out the home side for just 147 on the second day. Corey Hand was once again a shining light for the Tigers with a top score of 44. The win gave the Braves their first points for the season.

Frogs and Buds are well clear of the pack SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully TOOTGAROOK and Rosebud are 12 points clear at the top of the MPCA Sub District ladder after recording comfortable victories on Saturday. Tootgarook was defending 249 against the Yabbies and had the visitors 1/23 overnight. Tyabb added only a further 117 runs to the total before being bowled out for just 140. After making 39 with the bat on the first day of the match, Matt Whelan had a day out with the ball on the

second day, picking up a game-high 7/42. Rosebud also made light work of their opposition, snaring 15 wickets against Skye. The Buds were defending 8/232 after batting well on the first week of the match. Geoff Glaum was the unlikely star with the ball for the Buds with 4/34 from nine overs while Patrick Nagel helped himself to 3/16 off 11 overs. Adam Bryant snared 2/16 from 13 overs, giving him 14 wickets for the season. Skye skipper and keeper Rob Gruer

Panthers land coach FOOTBALL NEWS

By Toe Punt PEARCEDALE has finally signed a new coach. After making a lot of phone calls and offering huge money, the Panthers finally opted to appoint their full forward Pat Heijden as coach. Heijden will be supported by teammates Dylan Hoare and Mitchell Smith, who are assistants, while Juan and Jamie Merchan will assist off the field. Despite getting the role, word on the street is that Heijden is heading overseas in January for a couple of months. The Panthers passed-up the opportunity to appoint club legends Josh Beard and Shane Urbans, who would have been superb for the club. It is certainly a case of ‘watch this space’ with Pearcedale this upcoming season. Demons lose and gain After signing five players from Vermont a couple of weeks ago, Rye has said goodbye to a player who spends as much time away from the club as he does at it. Aaron Findlay signed with The Basin on Thursday night. Getting wind that this may happen, Rye was on the front foot, ensuring they had an ace up their sleeve and pickedup a full forward from Mooroolbark, 27-year-old Adrian Gileno. Van Unen a Redleg Rye was hoping to sign Justin Van Unen, who kicked more than 100 goals a few seasons back, however, he has settled at Mt Eliza. Eagles flying high Somerville has continued to welcome new faces to the club. After signing Tommy Shaw (Seaford) and Scott Simpson (Dolphins), the word is that Chris Irving is also considering a move to the nest. That news was on the back of former North Melbourne rookie Timmy McGennis signing with the club. McGennis’ best mates and 2014 Frankston YCW premiership players Josh Westerman and Billy Rolfe are also on their way to the nest. A couple of questions! Where is Somerville getting the money to pay for these players and how do they fit them under the player points system? Keeping in mind Somerville recruited Tim and David Hirst, Kane McKenzie and Cal Dixon last season. Sharks not done After announcing that former St Kilda star Lenny Hayes is highly likely to play at Sorrento next season, we also hear that Darren Jolly has been linked with the club. We have heard though that his asking price might be a bit too high, even for the Sharks!

top scored for his side with 26. The Buds went for the outright, however, could only manage five second innings wickets. Jason Nagel was the pick of the bowlers with 3/19. A magnificent 116 from Gavin Moore ensured Pearcedale picked up the 12 points against Dromana. The Hoppers made 180 in their time at the crease and had Pearcedale in a little bit of strife at 2/57 overnight. However, Moore, who was resuming on 40, controlled the match on the second day and working his way to three figures while wickets fell around him. Pearcedale was 5/87 at one stage and

then fell to 7/143. When Moore went, the Dales were still 14 runs away from victory. A fighting 30 from keeper Chris Whiteley, who was batting at nine, and 22 from number 11 Calvin Bypost saw the home side finish on 221, a 41 run victory in the end. Jeff Bluhm was the best of the Hoppers’ bowlers with 5/58. Balnarring was always going to defend its massive 6/335 against Frankston YCW, however, the Stonecats didn’t roll over. Jack Greenwood is a star in the making and he was superb on

Saturday with 76, while Matty Lane was unbeaten on 45 after hitting three fours and a six. Nathan Kleinig was the pick of the bowlers for the Saints, bowling 20 overs and finishing with 6/57. In the final match, Carrum Downs and Ballam Park played out a draw. The Knights set the Cougars 203 for victory and when the game came to a close at the end of the 80th over on the second day, the visitors were locked at 9/203. Despite the draw, the Knights remain in the top four, eight points clear of Balnarring who are in fifth.

Peninsula Golf Classic a big hit

THE fifth annual Mornington Peninsula Golf Classic was a huge success over the week of 5 to 10 October. Almost 220 players travelled from around Australia and New Zealand to play the four tournament courses in this year’s Golf Classic – The Ocean Course at The National, Portsea, Flinders and The Dunes. Many golfers also enjoyed the opening day’s golf at Sorrento as well as the final day of golf at Mornington. Groups of golfers from clubs such as Cronulla, Hawks Nest, Pennant Hills, Royal Canberra, Sanctuary Cove, Shortland Waters, South Lakes and Yowani joined with other golfers to play in the graded tournament. The Men’s winner was James Rutter (7 handicap) from Hawks Nest with a score of 143 points. The runner up, with a score of 142 points, on a countback at The Dunes, was Steve McCosker (10.4 handicap), from Ryde-Parramatta. The women’s winner was Netti Buchanan (12.1 handicap) from Pennant Hills with a score of 127 points. The runner up was Sarah Hodgkinson (21.9 handicap) from New South Wales, with a score of 125 points. Sarah was the runner up also on a countback at Portsea. The overall winner was James Rutter and the overall runner up was Steve McCosker. The winners were presented with their prizes at the Presentation Dinner on the last night at The National Golf Club - a truly gourmet dinner and a great night. Five of our golfers were also presented with their “Five Year Participation” awards and to really join in the spirit, a couple of the five year golfers also wore their previous years’ Golf Classic polo shirts throughout the week. There was also a hectic social program as part of the MP Golf Classic – The Welcome Party at Sorrento Golf Club, complete with jazz musicians; a superb Gala Food and Wine Dinner at the One Chef’s Hat Flinders Hotel (attended by five well-known local winemakers) and the local produce themed Celebrity Dinner at Eagle Ridge. Diners at the Celebrity Dinner experienced the best of golfing talent anywhere – Peter Thomson AO (five times British Open winner), Ross Perrett (golf course architect) and golf professional David Good and Leon Wiegard was the very entertaining MC. Many golfers managed to also take in the many other attractions of the Mornington Peninsula by visiting a number of the

wineries, the Peninsula Hot Springs, the Archibald Prize as well as sampling the great cafés. Some golfers were also keen enough to play other courses. Make sure you put an entry in your diary
