First among equals: Mornington Peninsula Shire’s mayor for 2013-14 Antonella Celi with daughter Shekinah and partner Pierre Uri.
Celi mayor in shock result By Mike Hast ANTONELLA Celi is Mornington Peninsula Shire’s new mayor, elected at the council’s annual meeting on Monday last week. She defeated Cr Frank Martin for the position after winning six votes in the 11-councillor chamber (see breakout box on Page 9). Her win was a shock to many of her colleagues as well as residents who had been invited to witness the vote
and attend the after-party as Cr Martin was the favourite. Cr Celi (pronounced chay-lee) is the sixth woman mayor to lead the shire since it was created in 1994 from the former shires of Flinders, Mornington and Hastings. Councillors were first elected in 1997 after the shire was run for three years by commissioners appointed by the Kennett Liberal government following statewide council amalgamations.

Her predecessors are Judith Graley (now ALP state MP for Narre Warren South), Anne Shaw (2004 and 200809), Bev Colomb (2007-08) and outgoing mayor Lynn Bowden. Cr Celi, 45, was elected to the council at a byelection in July 2010 after Susan Beveridge retired mid-term. The new mayor was re-elected in October 2012 in the multi-councillor ward of Seawinds, which replaced Truemans, Rosebud and Kangerong wards last year.

election. Born in Melbourne, Ms Celi started her working career in public relations and marketing as an executive and administration assistant. She changed careers in 1992 and studied alternative medicine, working in the alternative healthcare industry as well as establishing a private practice in remedial massage.

It was third time lucky for Cr Celi as she had previous stood in Dromanabased Kangerong Ward at the general council elections of 2005 and 2008, losing to Graham Pittock in 2008 and the late David Gregan in 2005.

Fast track for sewer By Roger Ryan SOUTH East Water this week starts construction of a $357 million reticulated sewerage system on the southern peninsula, the last area in the region still on septic tanks. It is the largest project of its type in Australian history, and is being fasttracked as there is direct evidence of waste from failing septic tanks polluting the groundwater, waterways and the environment, says the water and sewage authority. The authority is offering an early connection option (ECO) to residents between Portsea and Rye as it builds 230 kilometres of pipes in less than 30 months rather than the originally planned 16 years. Water Minister Peter Walsh said South East Water had developed new technology that would allow early connection of 4000 properties. But early connection will cost be-

tween $5000 and $16,000 depending on the distance of a property from the sewage main. Sewage will be treated at the Boneo treatment plant before being pumped into Bass Strait at Boag Rocks near Gunnamatta Beach. As part of the project, South East Water is opening a shop in Rye for residents to find out more information and sign up for early connection. Peninsula ECO shop is at 2449 Point Nepean Rd, Rye. “Residents can talk to the South East Water team about this important project, which will connect one of the last major unsewered areas in Melbourne’s southeast to a reticulated system,� general manager of asset creation Charlie Littlefair said. “Poorly maintained or overflowing septic tanks can pose a risk to public health, the environment and local waterways so the sooner properties

switch to the new reticulated system the better. “By taking an ECO, customers can connect to the sewerage network up to 16 years earlier than through the scheduled rollout. This will enable customers to take advantage of the benefits of a sewer connection sooner – such as enhancing the value of their property through development.� As construction begins, South East Water is advising residents and businesses that while the impact of construction will be minimised wherever possible, they may see an increase in trucks and machinery in coming months. The project has been divided into 10 stages. Work at Portsea starts first and at Rye in late January, with the system ultimately meeting up in Blairgowrie. Some properties in Rye are already connected to the network through a separate project, the Rye Coastal Sew-

erage Scheme, which is allowing about 1700 properties to be connected to the existing system. South East Water’s Beth Richens told The News that 800 properties had been connected. “The Rye Coastal Sewerage Scheme continues to connect properties to the reticulated sewerage system, improving public health and protecting our environment,� she said. “Our crews are still on location and residents in the designated Rye coastal area can contact the connections team to find out how they can make the switch from their household septic tank to the reticulated sewerage system.� For information about the Rye coastal scheme, call 1800 055 465.

Battle to resume on pool site COMMENT
have announced ministerial approval from the rooftops had it been granted. Among the information Environment Minister Ryan Smith sought was: Detailed design drawings. The business case. A traffic management assessment. A coastal vulnerability assessment. Assessment of the design against the Siting and Design Guidelines for Structures on the Victorian Coast. “It is anticipated that Mornington Peninsula Shire will be preparing the above documents and I encourage you to engage in the shire’s processes,” a senior Department of Sustainability and Environment official told the Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association on 26 March last year. (DSE is now called the Department of Environment and Primary Industries.) That letter was received one year and eight months ago. In that time one councillor, Graham Pittock, has had to remove himself from SPA discussions and votes because of an anonymous complaint that he has a conflict of interest. Cr Pittock has a squash and gymnasium centre in Dromana.
Vision splendid: This is the only drawing released to the public of how Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre might look on the Rosebud foreshore. It was created by renowned Melbourne architect Daryl Jackson, whose brief was broad and unrestricted by a building budget. The pier, saltwater pool and lighthouse will not be built.
His absence from SPA matters makes it more likely the foreshore will be the chosen site. Support for the foreshore site will come from five councillors – David Gibb, Anne Shaw, Frank Martin, David Garnock and mayor Antonella Celi. Against will be Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser, Bev Colomb and Lynn Bowden. The imponderable is Cr Andrew Dixon, whose election material last year promised he would not support a “costly and environmentally damaging pool on Rosebud’s foreshore”. Cr Dixon generally votes with the Gibb camp and has sided with it twice on SPA. Will he vote that way for a third time, against his election pledge, on the pool location? If he votes against the foreshore site, it will be tied at five-all. Cr Celi, who supports “a pool for Rosebud” on the foreshore, could then use her casting vote. Section 90 of the Local Government
Act states that “if there is an equality of votes the chairperson has a second vote”. Convention is the casting vote be used to preserve the status quo. Thus, mayor Celi’s casting vote should be against building SPA on the foreshore, since councillors rejected the foreshore site at a meeting in June. Interestingly, this vote was led by Cr Dixon, who said that abandoning the foreshore site would “break the deadlock that has plagued this project and the council for too long”. Such common sense from one so young and new to council is to be applauded. Is anyone else who usually aligns with the Gibb camp likely to change sides on this pivotal matter? With a dearth of solid evidence, including no plans, no costings, no ministerial approval, no business plan and massive borrowings required by a heavily indebted shire, it is likely to be the hardest decision councillors will make.

Are councillors well enough informed about this massive proposal to cast a vote? With less than a month before the expected December slugfest, councillors appear to be singularly ill-equipped for informed debate, disadvantaged by a lack of essential material. SPA will be the shire’s expensive project. An orderly and efficient planning approach would have ensured councillors saw the new report well before now. They may not see it until the day of the meeting, with inadequate time to digest its contents and raise questions with council officers. Nor have all, if any, councillors seen SPA-related material Minister Smith required from the shire to back its case for the foreshore location. For all they know, the information has not been sent to the Mr Smith and the government, nor a response received. Until the shire sends the information, the foreshore option cannot be given final ministerial approval. This approval is conditional on getting and approving the information sought. But that will not necessarily stop councillors voting to approve it. It is safe to assume the shire would

By David Harrison THE next round in Mornington Peninsula Shire Council’s long slugfest over Rosebud’s contentious pool and gym complex is set for 9 December, if Rosebud Chamber of Commerce has a reliable source inside the shire. Get there early for a front-row seat. The chamber is advertising the meeting (4.30pm at the Mornington shire offices) on a sign near the pool site. It has been a fervent advocate for the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) for years. It’s anticipated that councillors will finally decide where the project will be built – and it is rumoured the controversial foreshore site is back in play. A new shire-commissioned report on SPA’s location is said to conclude the foreshore would be a cheaper place to build rather than the “inland” site at Rosebud Central shopping centre in Wannaeue Place. The shire bought the shopping centre and two adjacent shops in Ninth Ave for $5.87 million just weeks before last year’s council elections. At the time, shire CEO Michael Kennedy said the purchase was made to stop the council “tearing itself apart”. Councillors have been bitterly divided over the foreshore site since early 2012 when Environment Minister Ryan Smith gave the shire “in principle” coastal consent to build on the foreshore, subject to it providing more information. The purchase also had the effect of neutralising the issue at the election. Pool – and foreshore site – supporter Cr Antonella Celi, elected mayor last week, subsequently scraped back into council in Seawinds Ward, which covers the two pool sites. The latest pro-foreshore report is a happy stroke of serendipity for the relentless foreshore lobby group, led vigorously by veteran councillor David Gibb. So too is the timing of the December meeting, after election of the new mayor, Cr Celi, and the departure of Cr Lynn Bowden from the role. Cr Bowden had generally voted against the foreshore site. Mayors have two votes. The second, or casting vote, can be used to break a tie. More of that later. The foreshore site had the support of a majority of councillors until a geotechnical report warned it could add as much as $7 million to cost of SPA, estimated to be between $30 and $45 million.

AN art exhibition exploring the history of Sorrento by Mornington Peninsula painter Justine McNamara is at Gallery Sorrento this month. Once Upon A Time in Sorrento explores the history and changing face of the popular township through the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s. Iconic landmarks depicted in the exhibition include Sorrento Hotel, which was built in 1872. Having grown up in Sorrento, McNamara (pictured) said she had witnessed much growth and change and wanted to capture a historic snapshot of the town as it used to be. “With so much talk about how

Behind the scenes of vote THREE councillors told their colleagues they would be competing for the mayoralty – Antonella Celi, Frank Martin and Bev Colomb. In the weeks before the vote, Martin was confident he had the numbers. Just hours before the election, he told people at Dromana’s Remembrance Day ceremony he had his acceptance speech on his council-issued iPad. The key to Martin’s confidence was knowing that Colomb was standing and she and Celi would have split the vote of the so-called progressives, leaving Martin with a clear run home. But Colomb withdrew before the contest when some colleagues convinced her the above scenario would occur. Celi was the preferred option of five councillors – Tim Rodgers, Hugh Fraser, Graham Pittock, outgoing mayor Lynn Bowden and Colomb. When nominations were called, Celi and Martin “threw their hats in the ring”, in that order. Votes for Celi were called first. The five listed above went for Celi – and she voted for herself. Six votes and enough to be elected. For Martin’s supporters – David Gibb, Anne Shaw, David Garnock and Andrew Dixon – it was a shock result. The look on some of their faces was, as one wag noted, priceless. Mayor Celi mostly votes with the dominant group led by Gibb and Shaw. None of them voted for her on Monday last week. Mike Hast

Call to limit threats to native fauna MORNINGTON Peninsula ecologist Malcolm Legg highlighted the damaging impact of human activity, the invasion by environmental weeds and introduction of top order predators such as foxes and feral cats on native fauna populations during a talk to the South Eastern Centre for Sustainability’s (SECS) annual meeting at Mt Eliza Community Centre. He said if native fauna was to stand a chance against habitat loss, death on roads, feral invasion and attack, the general public would need to become educated and aware of the damage occurring in order to take steps to reduce the extent of the damage. SECS president Steve Karakitsos said the first step would be to lessen the invasion of foreign species threatening local fauna’s fu-
ture existence, with 144 fauna species being classed as “threatened” in the Gippsland Plain bioregion, of which the peninsula is a part. There was also a great need to educate the public on the plight faced by the ecosystem, Mr Karakitsos said. SECS had been designed with this in mind and was set to be an educational hub where students could learn about the importance of the environment and increasing local fauna populations for generations to come. Mr Legg has carried out extensive field surveys in Mornington Peninsula Shire and has created the Mornington Peninsula Wildlife Atlas, soon to be launched by the shire. He discovered breeding populations of southern brown bandicoot on Quail Island in
2008 and six sites around the northern Western Port coastline. He has conducted extensive fauna surveys around the northern Western Port coastline for the Ramsar protection program and helped establish ongoing feral control programs as well as monitoring of threatened fauna species. He has conducted fauna surveys for most Parks Victoria properties in the shire, including Point Nepean National Park. The shire has completed a survey of wildlife on the peninsula taking in 71,000 reports over five years. The information was used to update the wildlife atlas, with 342 species identified Roger Ryan

The final countdown to digital-only TV has begun!
Melbourne and surrounding areas switch on 10 December 2013* The analog TV switch off is happening on 10 December 2013* – and there’s no turning back. After this date you won’t see anything if you’re not ready for digital-only TV.
What do I have to do? Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner. Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to. Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling. If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.
Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today. *Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about the switchover dates. See the website for more information.

Train reliability on right track – MP LATEST data shows the reliability of Frankston line trains has improved over the past three years. In October, 92.9 per cent of trains were on time compared with 71.1 per cent in October 2010. “This is a noteworthy, 21.9 per cent improvement in trains on time and shows what the government’s commitment to fixing our public transport can achieve,” Mornington MP David Morris said. “The figures illustrate a substantial gain in reliability of trains running on the Frankston line. This is terrific news for Mornington Peninsula commuters who use the service on a regular basis. A more reliable public transport system means less time travelling, and more time at home with your family.” Mr Morris said new figures showed the punctuality of Metro’s services had improved on every one of its 16 lines last month compared with the second-last month of the former Labor government in October 2010. The improvement had occurred despite Metro operating an extra 1078 weekly services this year compared with 2010, Mr Morris said. In the 2013-14 Victorian budget, the Coalition government committed more than $520 million to public transport improvements, including: A $177 million order for eight X.Trapolis trains and associated stabling and signalling with trains due to begin running on the network from 2015. A $2 million to plan for the procurement of high capacity trains, which would be able to carry more than 1100 passengers. A $100 million upgrade to the Frankston line, with additional track, signalling, power and maintenance facility and station upgrades to improve service reliability and enable X.Trapolis trains to run on the Frankston, Williamstown and Werribee lines. A $78 million injection to continue the rollout of Protective Services Officers at train stations. “October’s figures show a huge improvement in train services in just three years,” Mr Morris said. “But there is more work to be done, and the government’s commitment to ongoing improvement across the system remains as strong as ever.”
State cash for schoolies in shire THE state government has kicked in $45,600 toward services provided by Mornington Peninsula Shire to help schoolies celebrate in safety. It is providing $11,400 a year over four years for free buses, water bottles, barbecues, breakfasts, welcome packs and music events. Parents are being encouraged to make sure they know leavers’ plans, to check they have registered with Mornington Peninsula Shire on the schoolies website and know where to go for help and information. Schoolies holidaying on the peninsula can keep up-to-date with safety and logistics information, including after-hours transport and events by registering at www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/ schoolies For more information, including a tip sheet for parents, go to www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au/ schoolies
Hospitals bear brunt of ‘dump and run’ policy By Chris Brennan AMBULANCE waiting times at Frankston Hospital are now longer than at any other major emergency department in Melbourne, figures released by Ambulance Victoria and made public by the state Opposition last week reveal. Labor’s Parliamentary Secretary for Health Wade Noonan said the state’s gridlocked health system was forcing ambulances to wait outside hospitals longer than ever before, with Frankston the worst affected. The latest figures, obtained by the Opposition under a freedom of information request, reveal ambulance ramping times at Frankston Hospital blew out from an average of 709 hours a month over the 2009-10 financial year to 1275 hours in 2012-13, an increase of 566 hours. “The figures prove what paramedics have been saying for a long time – that ramping at hospitals has never been as bad,” Mr Noonan said. “Longer ramping times means patients are waiting longer to get into hospital and there are fewer ambulances available to respond to life-threatening emergencies. This places lives at risk.” The figures came on top of a report released the previous week that showed Frankston Hospital had among the state’s worst-performing emergency departments. Peninsula Health’s latest annual report revealed it had failed to meet the majority of targets set by the state government for timely treatment of patients at Frankston Hospital. The hospital was able to transfer patients from ambulances within the required 40-minute time frame just 56 per cent of the time – well short of the target of 90 per cent set by the state government – which was undermining Ambulance Victoria’s ability to respond to new cases. A lack of beds and funding shortfalls were blamed for the hospital’s inability to meet targets.
However, the state government last week unveiled new measures aimed at improving patient transfer times, with hospitals now required to assume immediate responsibility for people as soon as they arrive by ambulance. Health Minister David Davis released a report from the Ambulance Transfer Taskforce, which was formed to develop improved ways to transfer patients from the care of Ambulance Victoria to hospital emergency departments. Mr Davis said all recommendations of the taskforce would be adopted, as the government adopted “a whole-of-system approach to emergency care” that would “more sharply delineate responsibilities between Ambulance Victoria and emergency departments”. The report recommended Ambulance Victoria work to ensure “optimal distribution of ambulances” to avoid the clustering of arrivals. This would also be achieved through better information sharing between emergency departments and Ambulance Victoria, and enhanced by the progressive implementation of ambulance arrival board technology at major metropolitan emergency departments. But critics of the move, who included doctors, nurses and paramedics, said the issue could only be fixed by more hospital beds and that new measures would simply shift the problem from Ambulance Victoria to hospital staff. The Opposition also slammed the new measures as a “dump and run” policy. “Hospital chiefs have been lumbered with the task of fixing Denis Napthine’s ambulance ramping crisis and in return they’ve had to contend with $826 million in cuts,” Mr Noonan said. “Without the additional promised beds and staff, this dump and run policy will simply deepen the pressure on our failing health system.”

Divers fail to find missing student By Chris Brennan POLICE divers conducted a final search last week for the body of a New Zealand student who disappeared in rough surf off rocks near Blairgowrie after he had jumped in to rescue a friend a week earlier. Divers conducted an extensive search of the rocky coastline at Pearses Beach last Wednesday but were unable to find the 20-year-old man’s body. Underwater search efforts – following the Melbourne University student’s disappearance on Wednesday 6 November – have been hampered by poor weather and rough seas. Police search and rescue officials said no further dive operations were planned in the area at this stage but Parks Victoria would continue to monitor the shoreline. Police believe the man was swept under a rock ledge or crevice, rather than out to sea, based on
interviews with his two friends, who had witnessed his disappearance. The man, a New Zealand resident of Korean descent, was visiting the peninsula with two friends when one of them slipped off rocks into rough seas. Sorrento police said the man had bravely jumped into the water and helped his friend safely back onto the rocks but was then swept underwater when hit by a large wave as he attempted to climb out. A rescue helicopter arrived within an hour but was unable to locate the man. Uniformed police from a number of Mornington Peninsula stations were joined by the police air wing, search and resuce divers as well as SES and coast guard volunteers to continue the search over the past week. The man’s mother, father and brother visited the area last weekend accompanied by police.

LETTERS Foreshore belongs to all IT is a disgrace that in future the shire council will deny families, children and grandchildren the enjoyment of Rosebud and Rye Christmas Carnivals beyond this year by refusing to extend the lease by more than four months when it previously suited the council to lease the sites for six years (“Short-term licences for carnival sites�, The News, 29/10/11). The carnival has been an iconic part of Rosebud for 60 years. It is also very selfish of a few selfappointed members of a Rosebud-centric “loose alliance� who believe they speak on behalf of all peninsula residents to deny families and the broader Victorian community the pleasure of the carnival and foreshore by wanting to build the Rosebud pool on the foreshore (“Renewed push for pool�, The News, 29/10/11). If the pool is built inland at Rosebud Central shopping centre in Wannaeue Place, in what is the most central location in Rosebud, both groups can be accommodated. It is not necessary for a massive pool, gym, hydrotherapy pool, and health and wellbeing centre to be built on our precious Port Phillip beach and foreshore, which is increasingly being threatened and diminished by coastal development. There are more than 150 aquatic centres in Victoria located inland, which proves a beach location is not necessary. Port Phillip’s beach and foreshore belongs to all Victorians, not just a select few in Rosebud. Not only will the shire lose the $40,000 annual rental for the carnival if the pool is built on the foreshore, but also AECOM, one of Australia’s leading engineering consultants, estimated that construction and foundations on the foreshore would add more than $5 million to the cost. This would be on top of the almost $6 million the shire paid for Rosebud Central shopping centre, principally as an alternative
for the foreshore location, making a total outlay of more than $10 million for a foreshore location to simply to satisfy the ego of a few select councillors and senior officers. Dr Alan Nelsen, president, Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association
Danger at work WITH the festive season rapidly approaching and most Victorians looking forward to a well-earned summer break, it’s important that safety remains a priority in our workplaces. The simple fact is that November and December are the most dangerous times of year in workplaces. Last year seven people died as a result of workplace injuries in November-December, more than double the number of fatalities in any other two-month period. In 2011, nine people died in a six -week period just prior to Christmas. As the end of the year approaches, people naturally start thinking about things other than work, which means safety may not be uppermost in their minds. It’s also a busy time of year, especially in agriculture where the pre-Christmas harvest season and the “get the job done� culture can be particularly dangerous. Many fatalities at this time of year involve skilled and experienced people doing routine tasks, so no-one can afford to take safety for granted. Workplace safety is everyone’s business and we all need to pause and think about what we can do to prevent a tragedy. Christmas should be a time for family and friends, not visiting hospital or mourning a loved one, so please take care.

Climate worriers Several hundred Mornington Peninsula and and Frankston region residents rallied on Frankston foreshore on Sunday as part of the National Day of Climate Action organised by activist group GetUp. Organiser Claire Dawson said Prime Minister Tony Abbott and his new government was taking the nation backward on climate change. “It has just slashed jobs at the CSIRO and decided it wouldn’t be sending a senior minister to climate negotiations in Poland. It has already cut the climate department, abolished the Climate Commission, and last week started a process to repeal the carbon price and renewable energy funding.� Among speakers was former Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor Reade Smith, above. Picture: Gary Sissons
Libraries sign up for ‘cyber safety’ MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire’s library service has signed up with eSmart Libraries, a cyber safety initiative established by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, and supported by Telstra, to promote positive use of technology. Geoff Carson, the shire’s manager of libraries arts and culture, said the rapid growth of technology had changed how people communicated. “The eSmart Libraries initiative will enable peninsula libraries to evaluate current cyber safety status, roll out proven cyber safety programs and
provide training and knowledge to support the library community,� Mr Carson said. The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said cyber bullying was an issue that required much attention and it was important to minimise negative impacts. “By implementing eSmart, the community experience of accessing technology in our libraries can be one of safety and it will achieve many positive benefits and outcomes,� she said. Schools have reported positive results after joining the eSmart program.

FEATURE PROPERTY
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
At first sight A SPECTACULAR location combines beautifully with panoramic Port Phillip Bay views that stretch majestically away from the front of the property, to the tranquil and serene Arthurs Seat State Park that acts as the backdrop to this visual feast. Rarely does a home offer so much for every member of the family. For those who crave the fresh air and nature, an expansive timber deck will let you soak up the sunbeams all day long, and if the mood takes you, the walking tracks of the park are easily accessible. For private entertaining, an enclosed courtyard features a spectacular in-ground pool. The majority of the available living space is found at street level. From the formal lounge with gas log fire, there is a spacious open-plan family zone including a brand new kitchen with adjoining dining area. A second living space opens out to the timber deck. Also on this level is the master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, and two other bedrooms with built-in robes. Downstairs is the perfect retreat for that additional guest or family member. Amazing glass walls surround this incredible space that is self-contained with bathroom and kitchen facilities and a fourth bedroom. With its own separate external access this space has many options for extended family or the Gen Y child that still calls home, home.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Mysterious horse thief strikes again, one-legged career criminal jailed Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 22 November 1913 MR Mark Thornell was disappointed to find that his horse was not in the paddock on Wednesday morning. Someone had taken it out through the wires, as the foot marks could easily be seen. Mr Thornell has placed the matter in the hands of the police. I understand that this is not the only one that is missing. *** ON Tuesday last, before Mr B. Baxter, J.P., a one-legged man, named Thorpe, who was arrested the day before by Constable McCallum, was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment on a charge of offensive behaviour. This makes Thorpe’s 59th conviction. *** MR and Mrs Hugh Farquhar Robertson, who toured Britain and the continent for their honeymoon trip, are returning to Melbourne by the Otway. *** A EUCHRE party and dance will be held in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall on Wednesday, 3rd December, under the auspices of the Brass Band, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of uniforms. *** A SOCIAL evening will be held on Saturday, 29th inst., in the Frankston Mechanics’ Hall, under the patronage of the local Branch of the Women’s National League. A good programme will be provided. *** CONSTABLE Montgomery, who
during last summer was stationed at Frankston to assist Constable McCallum during the busy months, arrived on Wednesday last, and he will again be stationed here during the summer. *** EIGHT cwt. of fish in one haul! This catch was not made by the Federal trawler, but by Messrs Burton Bros, one day last week, when, in one haul, they secured 22 immense “yellow tail,” averaging 40lbs each. *** THE financial results of the concert given in Frankston by the Choral Society are to hand:- Receipts for advertisements, 10s 6d; for door and tickets, £7 9s; total, £7 19s 6d; expenditure - printing, £17s 6d; hall, £15s; pianist, £1 1s ; performers expenses, 10s 9d; total, £3 14s 3d. The profits were £4 5s 3d. *** A LARGE number attended the lantern lecture given after church on Sunday night last, by Rev G. A. Kitchen, in St. Paul’s Sunday School. On Sunday night next another lecture will be given. The other two lectures announced for December have been altered to November 30 and December 7. An anthem will be rendered by the choir on Sunday evening. *** SOME good hauls of the wily schnapper have been made during the week at Frankston. On Tuesday, Mr W. Gregory secured 69, and on the same day, Mr F. Burton accounted for about 80. Several smaller hauls were also made. On Wednesday, Mr F. Burton “struck it rich,” and secured a haul of 92. Other fishermen have all been more or less lucky.
*** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold an auction sale this afternoon, on the ground, Mornington Road, of a complete campers’ outfit, consisting of tents, piano, sideboard, duchesse chest, and sundries. The lot will be offered as a going concern, but if no satisfactory offer is received; will then be offered in lots. The sale will commence at 3.30 p.m. The sale is on account of the “Billikins” camp, who have disbanded.
I undertstand that Mrs Hodgins has bought a piece of land in front of the Methodist Church and intends to put residence there.
*** AT the meeting of the Frankston Branch of the White Ribbon Union, held at Miss Purves’ residence on
Wednesday’ afternoon, Mrs Twining (on her retirement as president) was presented with a handsome vase, as a slight recognition of her valuable services for the past 13 years, during which period she has filled the position of president to the branch. The presentation was made by Miss Purves, in a neat little speech, on behalf of the members, and was suitably responded to by Mrs Twining. Mrs Maucum was appointed president to the branch. Afternoon tea was then handed round, after which the proceedings terminated. *** FAVORED by fine weather, a bazaar held in aid of the funds of St. Phillip’s Church, drew large crowds to the public hall in the afternoon and evening of Saturday last. Several boats brought about 70 visitors from the mainland, the largest quota being contributed by Hastings. When the bazaar was opened to the public the display of good things was well calculated to untie the purse strings of the most frugal, and stood as a monument to the untiring labours of the committee of ladies who had all the arrangements in hand. As the day wore on, business became brisk, the various stall-holders vying with one another in their efforts to tempt from divers’ places all the stray coins concealed about the person of the unwary. The church funds will benefit considerably as a consequence. During the evening a musical programme was gone through, the principal items being songs by Misses Jones, Reid and Romeo and Mr J. Carmichael. Miss Romeo acted as accompanist. The Hastings Brass Band, under the
baton of Mr W. H. Prosser, rendered enlivening selections throughout the proceedings, and their presence was much appreciated. Rev. W. Burvill was a genial host, and those in charge of the various stalls were as follows:Clothes, Mesdames McLardy and Walton; sweets and cordials, Misses McCormick, Gullifer and Grayden; cakes, Misses McFee and Cherrie; produce, Misses Kennon and Leeson; fancy, Misses Matthews and George; Post Office, Miss McCormick; fish pond and dip, Misses H. Walton, Richards and Pryor; hoop-in, Mrs Reynolds and Mr Reardon; refreshments Misses Oswin and McCormick. *** LETTER to the editor - Sir, permit me, through your columns, to draw the attention of the ratepayers of Hastings to the existing state of affairs re the Hastings sanitary contract. I understand the agreement requires the contractor to make a round every seven days, but it has been circulated on good authority that that gentleman makes his rounds at intervals of eight, nine, or even ten days, or in other words, three rounds instead of four per 28 days, but I notice that he never forgets to charge for the fourth round, which is never made. *** I UNDERSTAND that Mrs Hodgins has bought a piece of land in front of the Methodist Church and intends to put a residence there. *** WE regret to state that Master Frank Odgers, eldest son of Mr and Mrs W. Odgers, is at present lying very seriously ill at his parent’s residence at Mornington.

The passport to new adventures By Stuart McCullough WHEN you turn eighteen, nothing seems so important as getting your driver’s licence. The simple act of being able to reverse park is the closest thing we have to a welcoming ceremony for adulthood. Not that it’s all about driving. Granted, the ability to drive a car represents a level of freedom that perfectly complements the coming of age. That’s so even when the car in question is a puke-green 1982 Daihatsu Charade. But in addition to driving there’s also the matter of being able to attend a pub. Not that everyone gets their license exactly on turning eighteen. I, for one, had been worried about my year 12 exams and had done nothing about learning how to drive aside from opening the doors and switching cassettes in the tape deck – both of which I had almost mastered. I finished year 12 just about the same time as I hit my first real milestone and, of course, all the people I went to school with were eager to go out. Turning up at the door of a licensed venue and expecting them to take your word that you’re over eighteen is something I now do with confidence but, then, seemed to be a recipe for disaster. Being the ‘pre-Internet’ age, recipes for disaster were still quite rare and could not simply be downloaded from the Jamie Oliver website. Accordingly, I had to use my passport. It had been issued a few years earlier. I would later learn that photos for any official document are intentionally hideous but back then, was horrified at the picture that graced my
passport. I looked so doleful and forlorn. As though the thought of having to get on a plane was the most severe punishment my youthful mind could imagine. The picture was so bad, you could easily assume that had the camera pulled back a metre or so, it would have revealed a plaque between my hands with my prisoner number on it. My friends had decided that we were going out. But rather than attend a local venue, we would be travelling to the city. Clearly, we were out of our minds. We knew nothing of the city, which meant that selecting a venue
was done pretty much at random. As fate would have it, we selected the Red Back Brewery in North Melbourne. Being from a small town, I was keen to ensure that I didn’t turn up looking like some kind of unsophisticated country bumpkin. For that reason, I decided to wear ‘the good shirt’. Over the years, many shirts have held the esteemed title of ‘the good shirt’. There was the yellow one that made me look like B2’s stunt double. The undisputed title-holder for the years 1986 – 1988, however, was a purple paisley number that looked like
an acid flashback and induced immediate nausea in all who happened to gaze upon it. However, in the golden year of 1989, the ‘good shirt’ was a silk number with a scratchy brown pattern that I now refer to as ‘The Brown Hornet’. At the time, I thought it was wonderful. With the benefit of a whole lot of hindsight, it was the kind of shirt that even APEC leaders would reject and almost singlehandedly ensured my social isolation. Not that I knew that in 1989. With my good shirt on and my passport tucked into the top pocket, I was ready. My friends picked me up and we began the epic journey that would take us from the Mornington Peninsula to the bustling city. A world of possibilities awaited us. However, once we arrived, it became apparent that a world of possibilities was, in fact, awaiting us at some other pub; as this one had nothing to offer other than strange tasting beer and an atmosphere that would make outer space seem welcoming. It was dreadful. There were other people milling around, but they were all huddled in groups. Wearing the ‘Brown Hornet’, it was like having a force field around me. We assumed that by the simple act of turning up, something incredible would happen. Instead, we just ended up standing around feeling awkward before deciding to call time and head back to Tyabb. Frankly, you don’t need to make a hundred kilometre round-trip to feel uncomfortable. Such results can easily be obtained without the inconvenience of travel.
Having returned from my big adventure, I went to bed and thought little more about it. That is, until the washing came out of the dryer and it became apparent that I had left my passport in the top pocket of the ‘Brown Hornet’. It now resembled some kind of forgery and was as good as ruined. The photo, which before had seemed unreasonably miserable, looked as if I’d just been caught in an unexpected rainstorm. It was ironic. I didn’t need a passport to travel from Tyabb to the city, even if it did seem like a completely separate world. Having decided to take my passport in order to travel to Melbourne, I had ruined it in the process. Whilst many others would probably try and get a replacement, I took it as a sign and swore off overseas travel for the next five years. As for the ‘Brown Hornet’, I continued to wear it for some time to come until it was replaced by a nifty little number I bought in a fit of insanity at the Queen Victoria Market that was a little bit cowboy and little bit ‘bogan’. Despite the switch in style, it would prove to be equally effective at repelling other people. At the time I referred to it only as ‘the good shirt’ but now I like to think of it as my ‘Country and Western Suburbs’ shirt. It was the kind of shirt that was really only any use if you were called upon to attend a hoedown at short notice. It was a circumstance that never arose. Nevertheless, I wore it everywhere. Everywhere, that is, except the Red Back Brewery. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

Shutterbugs Photo Competition The Rotary Club of Sorrento 2nd Annual Shutterbugs Beach Boats and Bays competition is one of many projects organised by our Rotary club members to embrace the community of the Mornington Peninsula. The competition, Beach Boats and Bays, is a project designed for school children who have an interest in photography. The competition runs from 5th October until 12th December 2013 - a fun educational opportunity for children to showcase their skills in this highly popular art form. Awardees gathered with Rotary President Bob Donaldson
Pride Of Workmanship Awards – Rotary Club Of Dromana October is Vocation Month in the Rotary calendar world wide. In recognition of this, the Rotary Club of Dromana conducted an Awards Night, for twelve recipients of the Pride of Workmanship Awards. This is in recognition to the signi¿cant contribution that they made in their place of work, or with a community group. They were joined by their families, friends and nominators for the presentations and to enjoy ¿nger food and drinks. They exchanged stories about their various professions and trades – a distinction that is surely anachronistic in today’s world. Whilst not going into each individual citation given by the nominator, the following words, cropped up regularly for many Awardees: team player, polite, commitment, people skills, positive, punctual, excellent phone manner, productive, caring & compassionate, assists workmates, nothing is a problem,
happy, tidy workplace, community minded, good customer service, organises social events, craftsmanship, engineering skills, goes the extra yard, motivated, high ethical standards, instantly addresses problems. No doubt many other accolades could be offered, for this very ¿ne group of young people. The worthy recipients and their sponsors were: Chris Dykes – nominated by Steve Jeffrey, Dromana Roadworthy & Service Centre James Bendle – nominated by Richard Bendle, Daytona Sports Cars, in Dromana John Hebbelthwaite – nominated by Richard Bendle, Daytona Sports Cars, in Dromana Joanne Tyrrell – nominated by Val Jarman, Dromana Sea Scouts
Chris Watt – nominated by Paul Stenner, Arbsafe Tree Services, in Dromana Ray Wilson - nominated by Paul Stenner, Arbsafe Tree Services, in Dromana Jonathon Palmer – nominated by Troy Palmer, Palmer Automotive, in Dromana Mark Whinney – nominated by Pam Fisher, P.I.P.E.S. in Dromana Troy Cazaly – nominated by Mark Gysi, Easycrete Industries, in Dromana Ian Gosling (jnr) – nominated by Ian Gosling (Snr), Dromana Mower Service Daniel Johnson – nominated by Cr. Graham Pittock, Tonic Squash & Gym, in Dromana Tim Doyle – nominated by Laurie Harrington, Peninsula Farm Supplies, in Red Hill Congratulations to everyone All told, it was a very exciting and interesting night.
Great prizes for the most outstanding entrants in each category and a Rotary Club of Sorrento Encouragement Award will be awarded. The photographs will be displayed at the 30th Annual Rotary Club of Sorrento Art Show, Sorrento Community Centre, Sorrento, from 11th-18th January 2014. The inaugural event last year saw over 140 entrants which were of a very high standard from age groups- 5-9 , 1014 and 15-18 year old students from schools all over the peninsula. The judge is a well-known peninsula photographer Yanni. Entry forms are available all over the peninsula, in cafes, milk bars, shops, cinemas, and Sorrento Community Centre. Selected collection points are indicated on the entry form. 3RPP community radio has been a strong supporter of Rotary activities on the peninsula for many years and warrant particular recognition. Also the Rotary Club of Sorrento appreciates the ongoing support of Searoad Ferries, 3AW/Magic1278, Sorrento Community Centre, Peninsula Surf and Trigger Bros for this competition.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Sorrento opens up gap at the top PROVINCIAL By IT Gully Sorrento has some breathing space at the top of the MPCA Provincial ladder after claiming an outright win over Rye. Resuming at 0/92, chasing just 118 for a first innings win, the Sharks finally declared their innings at 4/198. Nick Jewell added just three runs to his overnight total but finished with a half century, while Liam O’Connor finished not out on 38. Jedd Flack wasn’t able to add to his overnight total of 36, while Leigh Poholke contributed 31. After being rolled for 118 in its first innings, things got worse for the Demons in their second dig when they were dismissed for 90. Nick Davern tore through the Rye
batting line-up, claiming 4/32, Ryan O’Connor snared 3/24 to give him match figures of 7/45 and AJ King claimed 2/18 to give him five for the match. The Sorras needed just 12 runs to get the outright victory and move six points clear at the top of the ladder. As predicted, Crib Point comfortably chased down the 182 set by Moorooduc in week one of their match. And it was Luke Herrington who stole the show. Coming in at three, Herrington made three runs more himself than the entire Ducs team. In a masterful innings, Herrington clubbed 185, sharing a 109 partnership with Adam Kuelen (45). The Pies finished on 5/315 after being 2/40 at one stage. The star all-rounder hit 19 fours and
nine sixes in his innings, which included two massive hits into Govenor Rd. Langwarrin’s bowlers were at their best again on Saturday against Mt Eliza, bowling out the opposition for just 106. Mal Coutts turned the game on its head when he took three quick wickets and finished the match with 3/46. This was on the back of the all-rounder’s 46 runs with the bat. Andy Johnson had a trundle and snared 2/8 bowling his off-spinners, teenage left arm quick Matt Davie snared 2/16 and Dwayne Doig pickedup 2/27. Tommy Baron was the only Mountie to offer any resistance with 31 runs. Baxter got the job done as expected against Mt Martha. Defending 9/246, Baxter rolled the Reds for just 111.
Darren Uccello was up to his old tricks, claiming 4/10, while Sam Wolsgrove helped himself to 3/38. Mitch Darville was the best of the Mt Martha bats with 35, while Brett Wilkinson hit 29. The Reds lost their last seven wickets for just 46 runs. In not so good news for Baxter, the in-form Adrian Mack broke down in his fourth over of the day. Peninsula Old Boys got on the board with a 16-run start against Heatherhill. After making 190 last week, Heatherhill started extremely well with the ball, having the Old Boys in some early trouble at 3/47. However, Eivion Bowen and Glenn Prendergast got things back on track with a 41-run partnership. The Hills got back on top though and
had the Old Boys in trouble again at 7/130. Justin Parkes (19) and Adam Gailitis (23), along with Adam Jones (14), were able to ensure there was some wag in the tail and get the Old Boys across the line. They finished on 206. Daniel Woods had a day out with the ball for the Hills, bowling 16 overs and finishing with 5/51. Long Island was punished by Mornington. The Islanders resumed on 4/22 after bowling out the Doggies for 129 last week. However, the Mornington bowlers stayed focused on day two and rolled the Islanders for 70. Scott Phillips top scored with 29. For the Dogs, Luke Popov finished with 5/24 and Matt Foon was just as good claiming 4/37.
Knights bottom out DISTRICT By IT Gully Ballam Park finds itself in familiar territory on the bottom of the MPCA District table after another shocking loss on Saturday, this time against Seaford. Both teams were coming into the match without a victory in the 2013-14 season, and it was Seaford who notched up their first win of the season. After making 9/257 with the bat, Seaford was then able to roll the Knights for just 127. Anthony Joel with an unbeaten 52, along with number 11 batsman Mark Miller (34), were the only Knights batsmen to offer any kind of resistance. Eight of the 11 batsmen failed to make it into double figures. David Laing was the best of the Seaford bowlers with 4/33 from 12 overs while Mathew Herbert made it 10 wickets for the season with 3/29. Pines fell 41 runs short of chasing down Somerville’s 236. The final score flattered the Piners, who at one stage were 6/76. Jake Prosser was the only recognised batsman to get amongst the runs with 48, while number 10 Pat Jackson scored a half century and Nick Wilcox, batting at 11, made 25. Jackson and Wilcox took the Piners from 9/124 to all out 195. Pat Jackson was run out with four overs to play. Sam Delaney was at his best for the Eagles with 3/32 and Daniel Kelly and Russell Wilkes each claimed two scalps. Delacombe Park continued on its merry way, easily accounting for Hastings. Setting the Blues 269 for victory, even on the small Parkers’ ground, the total was always going to be tough to reach for the Blues. Chris Brittain was at his absolute best for the Parkers with the ball, ripping through the Blues and finishing
with 6/36. This was on the back of his 71 runs with the bat. Shane Deal also got amongst the wickets, claiming 2/25. Timmy Birch flew the batting flag for the Blues with 65 runs, while Luke Hewitt again led from the front and added 30 runs to his 3/55 in week one with the ball. Boneo celebrated its second win of the season and now finds itself equal third on the ladder. Boneo successfully tracked down the 182 runs required to pick up the win against Carrum. The visitor’s bowlers were at their finest last week and the batsmen stood up to the plate on Saturday. After a shaky start where they lost both openers with the score on 14, Boneo knuckled down and the top order came to the fore. Keeper Spencer Byatt batted patiently for his 59 and Ryan Jellie batted through the innings to finish unbeaten on 57. Jayden Sholl was also strong when he needed to be and hit 21 runs off 39 balls. Boneo got the total after losing just five wickets. Main Ridge easily accounted for Baden Powell. After bowling out the Braves for just 159 last week, the Ridge then batted beautifully, eventually calling it quits with their score at 3/187. Michael Holmes opened with 55 and Gareth Wyatt finished unbeaten on 51. Wyatt now has 301 runs for the season. Brendan Rossborough contributed 28 not out. Nathan Rice with 2/23 was the pick of the Baden Powell bowlers. Seaford Tigers made light work of Flinders and it was Corey Hand who was front and centre once again. After making 96 with the bat last week, Hand snared 2/27 to be one of his side’s best with the ball. Mark Carroll was also exceptional with the ball for the Tigers, claiming 4/33 from 10 overs. He was the seventh bowler used on the day. Tommy Clements was the best of the Flinders batsmen with 40, while skipper Andrew Power made it 289 runs for the season with 32.

Nagel boys’ double act get Buds over the line SUB-DISTRICT By IT Gully ONE of the Peninsula’s finest cricketers, Jason Nagel, almost single-handedly won Rosebud the weekend game against Carrum Downs. However, he did have a little help from his 16-year-old son, Patrick. The former league medal winner came to the crease at number nine after the Cougars had taken a team hat-trick and had the Buds on the ropes at 8/129. Chasing 194 for victory, the game looked gone for the Buds. However, Jason Nagel was soon joined at the crease by his son, who was also in the First XI for the first time.
Together, Jason and Patrick shared a 42-run partnership. Jason then had the support of Jason Peirce, who was able to stick around long enough to ensure that the Buds got to 201 before Nagel was bowled by Carrum Downs’ Chamara Perera. It was a memorable victory for the Buds and even more so for the Nagel boys. Perera finished with 3/60 from 23 overs and Steven Worker claimed 3/50 from 25 overs. Skye’s bowlers did a sensational job on Saturday defending their score of 144. Pearcedale resumed its innings at 0/7, however, lost wickets regularly and were eventually rolled for just 127. Matt Cousland was the best of the Panther’s
bats with 29. The day belonged to the Skye bowlers. Ben Milano was the pick of the bowlers with 5/22. Leigh Smith and Paul Fillpone helped themselves to two wickets each. Tyabb tried gallantly to get the 275 set by Dromana in week one of their match but eventually fell 34 runs short. The Yabbies started quite well and Luke Rus made 77 in the middle order to give the home side a real chance. However, some key wickets followed and the Yabbies were playing catch up after that. Dromana used just four bowlers for the afternoon. Andrew Thompson did the majority of the damage, bowling 15 overs and finishing with
5/37. David Timmer claimed 3/70. Balnarring and Red Hill went toe-to-toe in a one-day game and it was the Hillmen who finished on top. The Hillmen batted first and scrambled to 112 off 38.4 overs. It didn’t look like a match-winning total. Riley Shaw top scored for Red Hill with 31 while James Wisken was the best of the Balnarring bowlers with 4/18. Red Hill’s bowlers did a great job and bowled out the home side for just 90. Luke Toy was the pick of the Hillmen bowlers with 4/25. Brenton Taylor top scored for Balnarring with 34.

New course for Movember MORE than 70 golf enthusiasts joined Australian golfing legend, Craig Parry and Deputy Mayor of Frankston, Cr Colin Hampton, at the Centenary Park Golf Course in Melbourne for the official opening of the new Precision Fitting Centre and Driving Range on Monday 11 November. Following the cutting of the ribbon to open the new state of the art golf technology centre, Craig Parry and Cr Hampton struck the first balls from the facility. An 18-hole charity golf day followed with all proceeds being donated to Movember in support of men’s health. Golf course operators and PGA professionals Steve Montgomerie and Warren Young said: “We are proud to partner with the Frankston Council to provide world class golf club fitting and teach-

ing facilities, a first for the Mornington Peninsula. Using the latest technology in swing and club diagnostics means we can improve any players’ game regardless of age or ability. We even put Craig Parry under the microscope and found that we could add further distance to his tee shots through fitting a different shaft to his driver.” Despite the windy conditions the charity golf event was a huge success, raising over $7,000 for Movember. The new Performance Fitting Centre and practice range is located at the Centenary Park Golf Course, McClelland Drive, Frankston, and is open to the public with club fitting and lesson bookings by appointment. Contact the course on 9789 1480 for further details.
