Sweeney Todd takes his cut on pie shop stage A DARK musical tale of love, vengeance and the best pies in London, Astral Theatre Society’s production of Sweeney Todd will take to the stage at Rosebud Memorial Hall later this month.

Set in grim 19th-century London, the musical tells the story of wrongfully-imprisoned barber Benjamin Barker (aka Sweeney Todd), and his desire for revenge against the scheming judge who exiled him to an Australian penal colony for a crime he did not commit.

Armed with a sharp, straight razor and a mind full of menace and revenge, Todd sets up shop as one of the finest barbers in the city, and joins forces with failing pie shop proprietress Mrs Lovett. Barbering takes on a whole new meaning.

Londoners begin to disappear, while Mrs Lovett’s meat pies are suddenly tastier than ever. But will Sweeney take his delicious revenge before his plot is discovered? “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to direct one of Stephen Sondheim's most popular and lasting musicals,� director Evan Knoble said. “Sweeney Todd is a brilliant story, full of suspense and drama which explores loss, blood-soaked revenge and retribution, but really underneath it all, it is about love�.

The production has been nominated in the Musical Theatre Guild of Victoria 2016 Bruce Awards for Excellence with a cast led by Greg Stephens as Sweeney and Sheridan Black as Mrs Lovett.

It will run Friday to Sunday over two weeks 11-13 and 18-20 March.

Adding up councillor costs David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire officers have been ordered to compile up to date figures on how much councillors have spent on conferences and seminars.

The statistics dating back four years are to be delivered by 10 March and follow the release last month of a table which showed at least two councillors had overspent their $16,000 four-year-

ly allowance.

It has been alleged that some figures in the table were inaccurate.

However, any over-spending will have to be repaid by councillors within six months of the 10 March deadline. “The onus is on us to make sure we don’t overspend ratepayers’ money.

We’re the responsible people, we’re the people that spend the money. Anyone who’s overspent any council money, they should pay it back. It’s ratepayers’ money,� Cr Bev Colomb said.

rate update on spending by individual councillors was made last week during a tense and sometimes bitter two-hour debate.

A failed attempt was made to widen the information to all councillor spending, including stationery, vehicle use and babysitting.

The move to have spending figures released was raised in a notice of motion by Cr Hugh Fraser. The information it requires to be supplied will include details of revised amounts listed in the disputed table:

With Cr Andrew Dixon absent from the meeting, several votes were tied at five-all. Cr Pittock used his casting vote to decide a number of contentious matters.

Cr Gibb moved that the Fraser motion be amended to include all councillor spending over the period. This was rejected.

Walk on the wild side: Rosebud students trek through the High Country.

Picture: Supplied

Hikes, camps gauge impact of outdoor experiences ROSEBUD Secondary College students spent the past two weeks hiking, raft-building, abseiling and camping in the Victorian high country, as part of a Melbourne University study into the impact of outdoor experiences on positive adolescent development.

The 130 Year 9 students attended two free camps run by specialist out-

doors instructors at Howman’s Gap on the Bogong High Plains. They reportedly revelled in the challenge.

They were encouraged to help each other and work as a team setting up camp, taking turns to lead and organise the others.

The going was tough, but the sense of accomplishment rewarding.

Students completed a series of questionnaires before and after the camp, through which the university researchers hoped to establish whether outdoor experiences developed qualities such as confidence, resilience, responsibility and leadership. “We all know that eating well and exercising helps develop good

physical health, so, in this project, we wanted to find out whether outdoor programs helped promote good emotional health,� study co-ordinator Dr Lauren Rose said. “We hope our research will guide schools and health professionals in developing further programs to support young people in the future.�

Rosebud Secondary College was one of two schools to participate in the study. It is raising funds for a unique, purpose-built community facility: the Wellness Pavilion, which will provide young people on the southern peninsula with a range of wellbeing services and programs, as well as access to mental health professionals.

Sculpting grant questioned Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FUNDING for an enclosed structure to house the sand sculptures exhibition at Frankston’s waterfront all year round has faced criticism as “a waste of money”.

Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson last week announced a $750,000 federal government grant towards building a weatherproof structure to house the sand sculpting exhibition hosted

by Sandstorm Events.

Several Frankston residents took to Facebook to say they believed the money could be better spent housing the homeless, helping the aged or improving hospital services in Frankston.

Frankston Council confirmed it had been notified of the grant before its announcement but said any ratepayer funded contribution to the project “has not been considered at this stage”.

Mayor Cr James Dooley said councillors had not yet had a chance to discuss whether council will offer financial or in-kind support to ensure the sand sculpting exhibition, usually a summer event, can become an allyear attraction.

“Council was requested to provide a letter of support for the funding,” Cr Dooley said.

“Obviously the support does not negate the need for all necessary approvals and consents.

“Planning approval is required as is state government permission as the foreshore is Crown Land. Other factors to consider relate to benefits and impacts upon the community includ-

ing hours of operation, parking, landscaping and balancing other potential users of the space.”

The $750,000 in federal funding, part of a federal nationwide $3.6 million Tourism Demand Driver Infrastructure program, is dependent “on a matched dollar-for-dollar basis”.

Sandstorm Events managing director Sharon Redmond said the company will match the $750,000 federal funding grant bringing the project spend to $1.5 million in total.

MEMBERS of the Peninsula Plein Air Painters are covering canvasses with Mornington Peninsula scenes for the group’s upcoming second annual exhibition.

Mornington Peninsula Shire mayor Cr Graham Pittock will open the exhibition to be held at the Sorrento Activity Centre on Friday 11 March.

The exhibition will run for three days over the Labour Day weekend.

Plein air painters prefer to paint outside be-

cause they say they can capture the colours and feeling of a scene on-site rather than a predetermined image from a photograph or within the confinement of a studio.

The group can be seen in all weathers any Thursday at locations from Point Nepean to Beleura, Mornington.

The Sorrento Activity Centre is at the corner of Melbourne and Queens roads, Sorrento. Details: Maxine Wild, 5985 5770.

Airport plan takes flight Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au AN airport at Hastings is an idea being flown by Frankston Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire appears to be onboard.

The high-flying concept was first floated at a Frankston Council public meeting early this month. Councillors unanimously voted to write to Premier Daniel Andrews and the South East Metropolitan Group of Councils “to determine the viability of the Port of

Hastings site as a location for the South Eastern Airport as identified in Plan Melbourne”.

“We have received support for this proposal from the members of the South East Melbourne Group of Councils,” Frankston mayor Cr James Dooley said last week.

“To date there have been only informal conversations about this proposal. We’re excited to get the ball rolling regarding this conversation.”

The airport proposal seems to be taxiing for takeoff with Mornington Peninsula Shire happy to take a look at

expert advice about building an airport in western port.

“Mornington Peninsula Shire has discussed the proposal for a regional airport with Frankston Council and supported their development of a feasibility study,” Mayor Cr Graham Pittock said.

Cr Pittock said he and Shire CEO Carl Cowie attended the latest SEM Group of Councils meeting and “are keen to consider any options that could lead to new major developments in the region”.

The Plan Melbourne report, released by the state government in May 2014,

noted Melbourne is likely to have a third airport in the south east in the long term, by the year 2050, but did not specify a location for the airport.

Frankston Council is pushing for a passenger and freight airport to be built on a 2000 hectare site, dubbed ‘the Long Island Precinct’, between Hastings and Somerville earmarked as a container port for the Port of Hastings.

Frankston Council sees the construction of an airport on the Mornington Peninsula as “a viable option to drive economic growth in South East Melbourne” since it seems

unlikely the Hastings port will now be built.

“We need an economic catalyst here in the south east that supports the growth of our region’s shared strengths: manufacturing, tourism and premium produce,” Cr Dooley said.

“A regional airport could enable the south east to maximise upon the opportunities that come from international demand for premium Australian beef, wine, dairy, berries, asparagus and herbs and further cement the region as a major tourism destination.”

Governments clash over health Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A WAR of words about money has broken out between the federal and state government over funding for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula health services.

State Labor Health Minister Jill Hennessy has accused the federal government of a “sneaky counting trick” that will cut $3.29 million from Peninsula Health’s annual budget.

“These cuts are a direct attack on Peninsula Health, and will see patients waiting longer for surgeries and treatment,” Ms Hennessy said.

“This is not good enough, and peninsula patients deserve better.”

The state government says the Liberal federal government has backflipped on National Health Funding Pool arrangements agreed with the previous Liberal state government in a move that will see “$73 million ripped away from Victorian public

hospital patients” this year.

Ms Hennessy said the effects of the budget “black hole” would be felt at Frankston Hospital as early as next month.

Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley said the administrator of the National Health Funding Pool had advised the Victorian government that its 2013-14 funding statement is “outside of agreed calculations” within a national partnership agreement between states and the federal government on improving public hospital services.

“Victoria was attempting to gain a $73 million windfall at the expense of other states and territories,” Ms Ley said.

“The Commonwealth has made it clear that all states and territories must be treated equitably and comply with the same formula.

“This is an improper grab for cash by State Labor which is more concerned with playing politics than the health and wellbeing of local communities.”

Ms Hennessy said funding cuts to

health services across Victoria “could have been used to treat 72,000 chemotherapy patients, attend to 180,000 emergency department presentations, or provide almost 12,000 elective surgeries”.

“This decision means Malcolm Turnbull will claw back $73 million in health funding from Victoria, leaving hospitals across Victoria facing cuts of millions of dollars to fill this blackhole,” she said.

When asked if Peninsula Health had been consulted about the funding shortfall executive director of finance David Anderson said: “We are still working through the implications at this stage.”

Disputes over public health funding between federal and states are a regular occurrence. Former prime minister Kevin Rudd promised, but ultimately was unable to implement, a federal “takeover” of responsibility for hospital funding across Australia in exchange for the states giving up some GST revenue.

Shire to battle Spring St over cost-shifting David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A TESTY debate over management of the shire’s coastal land culminated in several sharp remarks directed at CEO Carl Cowie by Cr Anne Shaw.

With the temperature in the chamber still hovering near bushfire ignition point after an earlier debate on councillor spending, Cr Shaw introduced an item of urgent business on cost shifting.

She raised the shire’s need to make a submission to the state government on apparent moves to require coastal councils to pick up more of the cost of looking after crown land.

Mornington Peninsula Shire looks after 192 kilometres – 10 per cent – of Victoria’s coast in one of the state’s most intensively visited holiday and recreation areas.

Corporate planning manager Tracey Limpens told the meeting the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Plan¬ning (DWELP) had notified the shire just days earlier that submissions on coastal land management were due by 19 March.

This did not allow enough time for a considered submission, she said.

The guidelines the shire had received “overstated” the shire’s role in local committee of management plans and there were “inadequacies” in the regional coastal plan relating to local government’s roles and responsibilities, she said.

The shire had sought an extension until 24 March for its submission.

“This is just another layer of major, major cost shifting, Cr Shaw told the meeting. Her urgent business asked that a report come to council to help with its approach to Spring St. Cr Hugh Fraser questioned why the issue could not be dealt with at the next council meeting, say-

ing the matter had been “gazumped on us”.

Argument went back and forth on when the matter was first raised with council officers. Chief executive officer Carl Cowie told the meeting the matter seemed to “have come out of almost nowhere. It doesn’t strike me as an item of urgent business at all.”

At this, Cr Shaw reacted sharply. “Mr Cowie, didn’t I alert you to this and ask you if a report would come to council?” she asked heatedly.

“Didn’t you say that I should raise it? So thanks very much.”

Mr Cowie replied: “So that came yesterday [Sunday], I think, which I suggested to you wasn’t a work day, for me or the officers, and this morning I suggested to you it wasn’t an item of urgent business.”

Cr Shaw: “You were not aware of the closing date of the response and the first email I sent you on this matter was two weeks ago before even this draft document was out.

“So [talking over Mr Cowie] thank you very much for the assistance and the support – not.”

The mayor Cr Graham Pittock called on Mr Cowie, who repeated he had stated it was not an item of urgent business, “that it’s been around for 18 months”.

Cr Bev Colomb told councillors it was an important matter. The shire needed to be proactive, to get information together for its submission and position itself at the forefront regarding coastal matters.

Cr Fraser (Nepean ward), opposing the motion, said it was an important issue, but it was a “quite a transparent attack on Nepean ward by Cr Shaw and Cr [David] Gibb”, a ward that had major coastal projects in hand.

The motion was lost, but the submission will go to DWELP by the deadline.

Check on councillor costs Continued from Page 1 Councillors Gibb, Antonella Celi and Anne Shaw had strongly disputed advice from governance manager Joe Spiteri that the Gibb amendment should be debated following Cr Fraser’s motion. They were unsuccessful.

Cr Celi immediately moved Cr Gibb’s amendment again, and again sought Mr Spiteri’s guidance on the status of her proposal. He repeated his advice.

Cr Lynn Bowden said the figures in the table were “very inaccurate” but this did not reflect on current shire finance officers. An example of inaccuracy was that Cr Tim Wood joined council in late August 2014 but was listed as having spent nearly $8300 before he was elected. (Frank Martin was Red Hill ward councillor before Cr Wood’s election.)

Councillor spending should be documented “to the last cent”, so the community can see how their money is being spent, Cr Bowden said.

Cr David Garnock supported Cr Colomb in wanting all councillor expenses checked as part of one process, which would save the time of compiling the figures a bit at a time.

Cr Wood said it was urgent to release the correct figures. The public had been supplied with information that was inaccurate, he said.

“It’s absolutely fundamental for responsible government that elected representatives and council officers are wholly responsible and accountable to the public,” Cr Wood said.

The vote to approve the motion was 7-0, with councillors Gibb, Shaw and Celi abstaining.

Cr Celi then introduced an item of urgent business, identical to that which she and Cr Gibb had failed to introduce as an amendment to Cr Fraser’s notice of mo-

PAGE 8

tion – that all councillor expenses be released.

Amid manoeuvring on how to deal with overspending, Cr Celi said the allowances matter “should be struck out at this stage pending further notice and advice.”

She mentioned several times that total councillor cost to ratepayers was some $55,000, but did not explain how this figure related to the matter being discussed.

Cr Celi, speaking without the aid of her microphone, could be heard arguing that the resolution did not align with any council processes and policies. “It should be struck out and not considered whatsoever.”

Later, her microphone apparently again not working, Cr Celi could faintly be heard from the gallery arguing that “this whole business is an allegation against fellow councillors. It is an allegation that should be struck off the record.”

After further discussion of what Cr Colomb described as “this very upsetting moment”, the motion was carried.

Council will get the revised material on 10 March then discuss how overspending, if any, is to be repaid.  The decisions follow an article in The News, “Council nod to lift expenses” (9/2/16), which reported that a table provided to councillors showed several councillors had overspent their allocation for seminars and conferences.

According to the table Cr Antonella Celi had overspent her entitlement of $19,500 by some $11,300 and Cr David Gibb had overspent his allowance by $3147.

The News incorrectly showed Cr Celi’s overspend as 92 per cent. This did not include the additional $3500 allowed to her in her mayoral year. Including this, her overspend was 65 per cent, according to the table.

Crowded surf, but that’s the plan PT LEO surf beach is sure to be crowded on Saturday, but no one is grumbling as it will be the second event held this year by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers Association.

The first event for the year on Saturday 16 January saw 115 participants enjoying the surf with the help of 300 volunteers.

And organisers are predicting this Saturday’s event will attract even more volunteers and participants.

Volunteers can register with the DSA near the Pt Leo lifesaving club from 9.30am (or earlier if they want to help set up for the day).

There are several jobs for volunteers who are briefed before the start of the event.

The actual surfing starts at 11am and involves teams of volunteers standing in the water to provide a channel of helping hands within which the surfers catch waves to the beach.

Some of the surfers lie down while others sit and stand. The DSAMP has wide-wheeled wheelchairs to get surfers on and off the beach.

The branch is raising money to build a boardwalk to make it easier for conventional wheelchairs to access the beach.

Branch secretary Bill Hallett said the January event “was our biggest day ever” and expects even more people on Saturday as “March events have always been bigger than in January”.

Mr Hallett said the help provided by volunteers was exemplified by a taxi driver who brought two young surfing participants to the January event from Cranbourne.

The driver, after finding out about the disabled surfing event “walked them to the rego tent, went and parked his car, turned off the radio and meter and volunteered”.

Parks checking on port risks USERS of Port Phillip and Western Port are being asked to tell Parks Victoria about any risks they know about in either bay.

The feedback may be added to the safety and environment management plan (SEMP) covering the two bays and Port Campbell.

“Our local ports feature unique marine habitats that have been recognised internationally for their diversity and we want to make sure we are serving the community and our marine environment as best we possibly can,” Parks Victoria senior manager local ports and waterways Victor Teoh said.

“We’re keen to hear from a whole range of people who use or enjoy Port Phillip, Western Port or Port Campbell. Whether you’re a swimmer, a recreational boat operator or even a resident living nearby, we’d like to hear your thoughts on our safety and environment management plan and how we can ensure the best outcomes for safety and the environment.”

The draft plan released for public comment says the state government sees climate change as a major risk to the environment, “our way of life and our economy”.

It says port environments could be adversely affected by heatwaves, accelerated erosion events, sea level rise and coastal impacts.

“Long term and immediate impacts of extreme weather are becoming more common and severe,” the plan states.

“The challenge is to provide a safe and reliable service offer by maintaining boating channels, aids to navigational equipment, piers, and jetties, break walls and launching facilities.

“Local port environments will also be effected by climate change with coastal land forms, habitats, flora and fauna experiencing more rapid change.”

Statistics show more than 70 million people visit Parks Victoria’s three “local” ports with 58.9 million in Port Phillip, 8.7 million in Western Port and 3.2 million at Port Campbell.

“Parks Victoria manages local port infrastructure and facilities across a diverse range of commercial and recreational activities,” Mr Teoh said.

“Managing the interaction of these activities and the supporting infrastructure is challenging and resource intensive and this is a great opportunity to provide feedback about the future management of safety and conservation on the water.”

The three ports include 40 piers, wharves and jetties; 2500 moorings and berths; 1000 navigational aids as well as dredged channels, harbours, slipways, breakwaters, sea walls and launching sites within the local ports.

The final draft of the Safety and Environment Management Plan and details about how to submit are available at www.parkweb.vic.gov.au The deadline for submissions is 18 March 2016. Call Parks Victoria on 13 1963 or visit www.parks.vic.gov.au

Spirited waves

Flare blamed for boat loss AN accidently discharged flare may have caused a fire at Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, Saturday, which destroyed three boats and burned a man’s face.

CFA crews from Sorrento, Rosebud and Rye attended the incident at 2.30pm.

Thick black smoke billowed from the boats which were tied up at the marina. Some members trained hoses on the blaze in a desperate effort to stop it spreading to neighbouring boats.

CFA District 8 Operations Officer John Francis said firefighters from CFA and Coast Guard took 30 minutes to control the blaze.

“Two boats were destroyed, another was severely damaged and another four to five were scorched in the blaze,” he said. The number of boats

lost was later put at three.

A man in his 70s, who may have accidently started the fire, received minor burns and was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken by ambulance to Frankston hospital. He was discharged on Monday.

Victoria Police, Maritime Safety and WorkSafe attended the incident in which the thick black smoke was fanned by strong south-west winds.

Club general manager Amanda Jacobs praised the efforts of a work team which managed to drag two of the boats away from the marina, helping confine it. They later sank.

She said a club internal debriefing session would examine the causes of the fire and the response, and work towards minimising future fire threats.

LARGE waves allegedly caused by the Spirit of Tasmania toppled a kayak and sent what a witness says were “15 large tidal surges” across the bay at Dromana, McRae, Rosebud and Rye, Sunday 21 February.

Mt Eliza resident Jack Silloray, who was kayaking 50 metres offshore from his family’s McRae beach box, said the ship was going too fast and whipped up the waves in its wake, at 10am.

He said he saw “large tsunami-like waves” rapidly approaching and was toppled by the last one, despite facing them and paddled towards them. He was wearing a lifejacket.

“It was like Gunnamatta in the bay,” he said. “I have never seen the ship go that fast; it was full pelt.

“I could see that the nippers sailing nearby were alarmed by the bell from the Rosebud Lifesaving Club warning of an approaching large wave.”

Mr Silloray queried whether the vessel was speed-limited in the South Channel which is close to beaches.

“The immediate concern was the size of the tidal surges so close to swimmers and, more importantly, the threat to inexperienced children sailing in and around the bay,” he said.

“There could have been serious harm caused if one of them were caught in the break of the wave in such as small sailing boat.”

Port of Melbourne Corporation spokeswoman Leonora Curnick said the speed limit in the South Channel was 18 knots for vessels with draughts less than 11.6 metres.

Spirit of Tasmania spokeswoman Madeleine Smith said the ship “complies with all speed limits in the bay”.

Ratepayers dig in over quarry Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TYABB Ratepayers’ Association is ramping up its opposition to a pending “open cut mine” at Somerville which it says will generate profits for the quarry owners but losses to residents of Somerville and Tyabb”.

Members are “considerably concerned” that further development and more intensive extraction works at the Bayport Industries’ Pottery Rd quarry will turn 24 hectares of the old Peninsula Pottery site into a 30 metre deep open cut clay mine.

They say all vegetation on the site is, or will be, removed, and that, from this month, up to 280 dump truck-andtrailer loads of clay a day, five and half days a week, will exit and enter the property onto Jones Rd. Further, that while the quarry’s use was not out of place on a backblocks site 45 years ago, the area’s transition from rural to residential makes it an anachronism.

Although it is acknowledged that the owners have long-held permits, and existing use rights for clay extraction, the association fears the latest plans so far exceed what has been done in the past that new permits should be required.

It says the increased activity will generate “intolerable dust and noise and disturb wildlife, impact on children travelling to school, and reduce nearby property values”. They fear the quarry may eventually be filled with hard waste.

Big picture: Tyabb Residents Group spokesman Alan Robinson casts a critical eye over the Bayport quarry operations. Picture: Yanni A company letter to nearby residents stating it intended to begin larger-scale clay mining as of yesterday (Monday), has reportedly been stalled by the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources. The News was told Friday that Bayport had been told to stop clearing land near the boundaries of adjoining properties until after a public meeting on Wednesday 15 March.

Bayport development manager Daniel Petroni declined to comment last

week. “We don’t want to get drawn into discussions with neighbours,” he said. “We’ve had ongoing operations here for 20 years and the quarry has been here since 1969. It’s our policy not to comment.”

The company held what it termed a “community consultation meeting” at Pottery Rd, 10 February, “to discuss recent concerns raised by adjoining property owners … with respect to works undertaken on our quarry site, tree clearing, land drainage, and estab-

lishment and revegetation of bunds, going forward”.

It invited residents from Pottery and Wellington roads to meet with company representatives. Also attending were consultants, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council officers and representatives of the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources.

Tyabb Ratepayers’ Association spokesman Alan Robinson, who lives on Jones Rd, agreed the company’s

long-standing clay mining operations and extraction permits in place since 1969 gave it certain legal and moral rights to continue “existing” operations.

But he said the massive scale of the planned works meant existing-use permits no longer applied.

“People bought into the area under assurances by the then-council that the mine was almost disused and there were no plans to extend its operations,” Mr Robinson said.

“There’s been hardly any activity on the site in the past 12 years except for a short burst of intense work last October, which included some land clearing and burning off.

“Now, [under the latest plans] those living near or abutting the quarry will have to endure increased levels of dirt and noise day in, day out.”

A resident whose property backs onto the quarry was last week shocked to find all vegetation removed up to the fence line, while clearing works had yet to begin up to their neighbour’s fence. Bunds – or earthworks up to three metres’ high – are planned to provide privacy screening.

The land clearing works provided a contrasting view of what the quarry had been, and what it will become, if planned operations go ahead.

Talk of a petition to restrict the mining operations was floated on Facebook Thursday. Comments included: “It’s all been kept hush hush; I got a letter and was appalled, and, does anyone know about community meeting?”

Sparks fly from resting possum Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A POSSUM has been blamed for starting the three hectare blaze that threatened parts of Somerville, Tuesday, and destroyed 300 timber sleepers on the Stony Point-Frankston train line.

Hastings police Senior Sergeant Steve Burt said he believed the marsupial caused an electrical fault in a transformer, generating sparks near where the grass-and-scrub fire started.

But Victoria’s emergency management commissioner Craig Lapsley didn’t consider the possum theory when saying the cause of the fast-running fire was still being investigated. “We haven't seen any lightning, that means it’s got to be the human factor,� he said. “Whether that’s a vehicle, a human hand or a mistake.�

Metro crews were working “around the clock� to replace the sleepers and repair signal damage so services could resume, spokesperson Sammi Black said. “The damage occurred between two level crossings: Eramosa Rd and Frankston/Flinders Rd. We expect to have normal train services running from midday today [Thursday] between Frankston and Stony Point.�

A CFA relief centre was set up at Somerville Recreation Reserve, Edward St, Wednesday, to assist those affected by the fire. Municipal fire prevention officer Damien Taylor said the emergency relief centre provided a refuge and support to any residents directly impacted. It offers essential and urgent support to individuals, families

and communities during and, in the immediate aftermath of an emergency, he said.

About 28 trucks from most peninsula brigades fought the blaze to prevent it escalating in the 40 degree heat, but emergency warnings were downgraded Tuesday evening. Four crews remained on Wednesday with firefighters blacking out danger areas in cooler conditions.

Somerville CFA Captain Alan Monti said despite being relatively small the fire was intense, and had to be fought in a difficult environment. He said properties north of the town and west of the railway line “suffered a fair bit of damage�. “Our crews did a great job in fighting it,� he said.

The state government last week offered financial assistance to Somerville bushfire victims. It said individuals and families affected by Tuesday’s fires could access personal and financial counselling.

Mornington Peninsula Shire Council and state agencies are able to seek assistance for ratepayers, and for the costs of clean-up operations and restoration of essential public assets.

Details: call the Victorian Emergency Recovery Information Line on 1300 799 232.

The Somerville fire was one of 115 fires that burned in Victoria on Tuesday, one of the hottest days of the year.

Karate contest KARATE enthusiasts of all standards will be in Mornington next week for the Traditional Shotokan Karate National Championships.

Events will be run Monday 7 March-Saturday 12 March at the Mornington Basketball Centre, Dunns Rd. Thursday 10 March is a rest day.

The highest ranking member of the style, Shihan Takahashi, is coming from Japan to watch the action.

Dojos (or clubs) from every state will be represented and 200 competitors have already registered. Most will bring family members for the week, providing a welcome boost to the region’s economy.

Mornington Peninsula Karate Club is hosting the event, which is regularly held on the Gold Coast. “People are coming from all over Australia and looking forward to seeing the peninsula’s wineries and beaches,� said Dojo leader Sensei Jeff Young, of Somerville. “Most are from country towns or regional areas and have a better chance of affording to stay here rather than in the city.�

Mr Young, who has been honing his craft since 1970, is a fourth dan black belt. He said Traditional Shotokan Karate was one of the original styles and enjoyed by his club’s 30 to 40 members.

The first three days include training sessions run by dojo heads from each state. On the Friday, lower belt holders will compete in title events, and black belt holders will compete in elimination bouts.

On the Saturday individual and team events will be held and national champions chosen.

I am happy to inform your readers that, contrary to your story “Five-year plan for ‘Carbon neutrality’”, (The News 23/2/2016) my report on my attendance at the COP21 Paris 2015 World Environment Conference was provided to council in accordance with council’s Interstate & Overseas Seminars and Conferences Policy on 18 January.

Together with the mayor Cr Pittock and Ms Wingad [Jess Wingad, the shire’s then renewable resources team leader], we all presented our COP21 reports to the community and interested councillors on 21 December in an excellent AV presentation in the council chamber at Rosebud.

Unfortunately for your holiday readers, my 6 January offer of publication of my 3000 word report was not taken up by The News.

Hugh Fraser, councillor Nepean Ward Editor: When asked by The News last week if the mayor Cr Graham Pittock or Cr Hugh Fraser had submitted reports on their visit to Paris the shire replied: “Joe Spiteri, Manager Governance, advises that a formal report will be drafted and tabled at an upcoming Council meeting. A date is yet to be set, but we will provide advanced notice when available.”

The main game The recent deluge of articles and letters to the editor about the councillors’ allowances, which are only an insignificant trickle of water over the dam, are disturbing.

This dribble of councillor allowances/expenses are inconsequential relative to the huge holes in the dam, two of which are: 1 The million dollar losses each year at Pelican Park and 2 The millions of dollars spent on consultants each year for studies that do not bear fruit.

I know it is so much easier to weigh in on some insignificant emotional issue rather than expend any effort to find out what is really going on, but that will not solve the problem.

Get involved and understand the big picture and what it means; get off the sidelines.

Hoping to see some letters on issues of significance in the future.

Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach

Neutrality farce Why on earth is the Mornington Peninsula to become “carbon neutral” in five years (“Five-year plan for carbon neutrality”, The News 23/2/16)?

Yet another “empire building” department in the council is the new climate change (and energy and water) unit which issued a news release that there is “clear, strong community support” for this.

I would like to see the council’s evidence for this support, because my observations strongly indicate that there is none. Zilch.

What we actually have is the fantasies of a couple of councillors being put into policy and of course somebody else paying for these fantasies - the ratepayers.

Think about your next rates bill, with its increase. The entire carbon emission offsets scheme is a giant world wide, and local, fraud.

The council is to send our carbon emissions in garbage to some other municipality. This is not reducing our carbon emissions at all. Cannot the council see this or does it wish to perpetrate this fraud?

Reduction of carbon emissions is not a council task, unless directed by a co-ordinating state government.

The second most laughable council activity that I have ever seen is the International Cmpact of Mayors to minimise climate change. The first most laughable being our own council: on the one hand having fantastic delusions about reducing carbon and on the other hand heavily promoting and facilitating tourism.

Tourists bring massive pollution from their cars and themselves every day and are of no benefit whatsoever to the vast majority, almost all, local residents.

Most resident support for this activity would also be zilch. Brian A Mitchelson, Mornington

CARAVAN PARKING FREE TO RESIDENTS Build incinerator I think the best and obvious idea for Morningwww.palmlakeresort.com.au ton Peninsula Shire’s waste strategy is to build

For a list of other locations Australia wide visit our website PAGE 12

Southern Peninsula News 1 March 2016

a large commercial size incinerator to burn all non-recyclable rubbish.

The money that would be used to extend the Rye landfill or exporting it elsewhere can be used to build the incinerator.

Landfills are barbaric and backward and

the peninsula council should come to the 21st century and adopt better alternatives to dispose garbage.

Other councils in Australia are building incinerators so I don’t see why it can’t be done here.

Incinerators work well in the United States and Europe so there is no reason while they can’t work here as well.

The smoke and emissions from it can be scrubbed out using current technology and the heat generated can be used to produce electricity [co-generation] making it carbon neutral.

The management of recyclable waste can be better as there are still a lot of commercial sites without recycle rubbish bins so everything is put in landfill rubbish bins.

There is no point transferring all waste off the peninsula when it can be dealt with here and create some more jobs for peninsula people as well.

Also, it would be good to see many wind turbine generators along the windy peninsula generating clean green energy.

Patrick Geeves, Somerville

Award no joke It must have been an error, but I was amazed to read that Flinders MP and Environment Minister Greg Hunt has been named Best Minister in the World (“Best minister award for Hunt’s carbon cuts”, The News 16/2/16). Surely you meant to run this article on or near 1 April.

By the way, it would be good if Mr Hunt stopped taking credit for his personal 93 million tonnes of carbon reduction. It hasn’t happened yet and will take 10 years to do so.

What he did do was arrange two auctions where he sold off in return for government funds, future carbon reductions to be achieved by those competing organisations who have 10 years to do so. An interesting note was that almost two thirds of these organisations were already reducing emissions and would be doing so without Mr Hunt and his money.

I wonder if he will ever fess up to what amount of emissions reductions really have been achieved so far, my guess about nine million tonnes.

His own government put out a report buried right on Christmas last year showing that our emissions for 2014 - 2015 had risen by 0.8 per cent. How did that happen Mr Hunt?

Stephen Hough, Dromana

Pay for restoration This week the Glencore mine, one of the world’s largest zinc mines, near the McArthur River, Northern Territory, stated that it can no longer guarantee that leaching of dangerous chemicals from the tailings dam will not contaminate the McArthur River. This will endanger the lives of Aborigines, especially the residents of Borroloola who rely on the river for drinking water and fishing.

This is another example where miners destroy the land, cause untold misery for the local people and could cut and run leaving the government to clean up the mess.

The Minister for Environment Greg Hunt has given the go ahead for the Carmichael coal mine, the largest coal mine on earth and the “darnd’st plan for a mine ever seen” (Bill McKibben 350 org).

The miners are only interested in huge, quick returns and cannot be held accountable to fill in their holes, restore the vegetation and support the dismissed workers. Australia is littered with mining areas where the miners have just walked away.

If Australia wants to keep its Paris promises we have to keep the coal in the ground.

The minister has said he has placed the strictest conditions ever on the mine. These will be worthless unless the miners pay billions of dollars as a bond to pay these costs prior to mining should they not fulfil their contract to restore the country.

Peter Strickland, Balnarring

Negative reforms Full credit to federal Labor for announcing reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax subsidies, which could give us a savings of $10 billion a year.

Negative gearing and capital gains tax breaks only help developers and those wealthy enough to invest in property or make a profit on selling property.

What about the many people on and around the Mornington Peninsula who only have their family home, often with a mortgage, or have no home at all and are forced to struggle with all

the uncertainty of being a tenant and increasing rental costs? Negative gearing and capital gains tax breaks have certainly never helped them.

In fact they have done the opposite.

The Liberal government said negative gearing would help increase the number of properties available for rent, make rents more competitive (keep them low) and solve housing shortages.

That was the theory.

Well, it hasn’t worked.

At the same time the Liberal federal government pulled money out of public housing leaving the states to struggle by on their own. This hasn’t worked either.

Without Federal money to help, the states’ ability to provide more low cost housing stock to meet the increasing demand and many years long waiting lists has been crippled to a standstill for the past 20 years.

People are sick of paying tax all their working lives when others seem to pay none.

Esther Gleixner, Flinders

MP’s wrong song On 26 January I attended the Mornington Peninsula Shire Citizen of the Year Award, awarded to a friend, Aileen Burgess, for her tireless work helping establish Peninsula Carer’s Council and her ongoing work.

Also at the function were nearly 50 excited people receiving their Australian citizenships, choosing to make Australia their permanent residence. Others in attendance were recipients of Young Citizen of Year and an award won for the outstanding community event, as more than 100 family and friends of the recipients.

Six Liberal, local federal and state members of parliament were there to congratulate the recipients.

The first politician to speak was Flinders MP Greg Hunt, who I believe was totally out of order by telling all attending it was the MP Dunkley, Bruce Billson’s birthday. He then invited all to sing happy birthday to Bruce and as he was retiring later in the year to wish him well.

No Greg Hunt, totally inappropriate, this occasion was not about politicians.

It was most definitely not about you Greg, Bruce and your fellow politicians. It was about recognising the achievements of these amazing people and their contribution to our community.

Denise Hassett, Mt Martha

Correct definition Concentration camp: “A place in which large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labour.�

If most of this doesn’t fit Australia’s detention camps in New Guinea or Nauru, then I gladly apologise to Michael G Free (“Not concentration�, Letters 16/2/16).

His smokescreen about the approaches of previous governments to the refugee crisis in our region does not excuse the fact that a great number of the people incarcerated in our concentration camps have done nothing other than sought asylum and to be processed in a reasonable time to find new homes in a place that cares about them. But the Abbott and now Turnbull governments still imprisons these poor people and their families in facilities that basic health and educational services.

It is no secret - one the government does not deny - that keeping children in detention for extended periods is harmful and detrimental to their mental and emotional development. Yet that is exactly the government’s policy.

I can appreciate it takes time to verify identities of people, but I find the present regime tardy and obstinate on the government’s side.

I’m perfectly aware of the federal system of ministerial responsibility, but we have an election in the winds and this does not mean [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt will be environment minister for his entire career in politics. My questions about his personal opinions on some issues will fairly influence mine and other voters at the next poll. I am just using my right as a participating citizen in the democratic process.

This of course may not be how Michael G Free sees it, but so be it. How about an honest answer Greg Hunt? Rupert Steiner, Balnarring

Disappearing surplus Is John Cain (“Debts of own doing�, Letters 16/2/16) talking about the same Wayne Swan who told parliament, in his Budget speech of

May 2013: “The four years of surpluses I announce tonight are a powerful endorsement of the strength of our economy, resilience of our people, and success of our policies. In an uncertain and fast changing world, we walk tall — as a nation confidently living within its means.

This Budget delivers a surplus this coming year, on time, as promised, and surpluses each year after that, strengthening over time.�

In the same speech, he confirmed that the troubles of the GFC were now all behind us.

Foreshore comment On behalf of the Rye Beach Community Action group and the Rye Foreshore Advisory Committee I encourage all Rye residents and business managers and owners to read the following and submit their concerns if they are interested in their town and foreshore.

The draft Rye foreshore landscape master plan Mornington Peninsula Shire Council currently has on for public exhibition is available at www.mornpen.vic.gov.au and on display at the council offices.

Council is calling for submissions by 7 March.

We are hoping there will be a big response from Rye residents as the shire is silent on a number of issues as are our ward councillors.

We do not wish to see only the boat ramp part of the proposal being done immediately and then residents having to hang out for eight years to bring the other ideas into fruition.

Boating people can be re assured that we are not against efficiency improvements such as redesigning the trailer car park or floating pontoons, just the fourth ramp which we believe will encourage more jet skis that at present are a noise pollution to our foreshore.

Our group is endeavouring to put in place as soon as practical an online survey but thought it would be good for people to read the information first. Send questions to: ryeactiongrp@ gmail.com Bob Martin, Rye Community Action Group

I was driving along Pickings Rd, Safety Beach and, towards the freeway end of the road, the Safety Beach Golf Club backs onto the road.

I had to pull up as I was quite horrified at the jumble of rubbish in that area.

It is next door to a property and also has the new retirement village units opposite. Talk about a Room with a View.

There are old scrapped vehicles, metal rusting, empty - I assume - cans of whatever and the whole area is untidy and unkempt and looks more like an extension of the Rye tip. There are agapanthas growing along the perimeter and a trench has been dug alongside the neighbouring property and no doubt when there is heavy rainfall will fill and destroy the fence footings.

The fence is already leaning into that property and the palm like tree near the gate is dead.

There are two pieces of vinyl or similar laying on the verge and someone has carefully mown around them rather than dispose of them.

Changeable weather G P Harris, surveyor to the short lived Collins 1803 settlement at Sorrento (October 1803 May 1804) wrote in January 1804: “I hope to finish this letter in more comfortable quarters than I have hitherto enjoyed in this barbarous country of changeable climate – having been under canvas which is equally disagreeable in the extremes of heat and cold, both of which we experience here in the most extraordinary manner as perhaps in no part of the world is it so variable or the weather so little to be depended on. I have known the thermometer to be 102 degrees in the shade in the governor’s marquee, and in the sun in mine at the same time it was 132 degrees. The very next day was so cold and raw that I could have borne an additional waistcoat and great coat (there were also at one stage raging bush fires on Arthurs Seat).�

NEWS DESK Not ‘illegals’

Did you know... you can view our papers online

Michael G Free maybe appalled by the term “concentration camp” to describe the detention centres holding the asylum seekers so, how does he feel about a comment in The Age newspaper (19/2/16) where a psychiatrist has likened them to a “Russian gulag” where these unfortunate people are kept “out of sight and out of mind where terrible things are happening” (“Not concentration”, Letters 16/2/16).

Michael G Free is wrong to name these people as “Illegal immigrants”. They are asylum seekers trying to escape from the terror that was created by the US, England and to a certain extent, the Howard government.

Under United Nationas’ charters these people are entitled to seek refuge anywhere they can.

The term “Illegal immigrants” was coined by Tony Abbott and it appears, also by some public servants.

No one knows if the current policy is working because of the secrecy surrounding it. The Border Farce, er sorry, Force, operates covertly, although we do know of certain things that have occurred on the high seas in our name and against International law like tow backs and allegations of bribing the people smugglers.

We don’t know how many boats have been towed or turned back. We’ve had Scott Morrison keeping us in the dark in this portfolio of Immigration. He’s now the Treasurer and he’s still keeping us in the dark.

The 51,000 that Michael G Free mentions did not arrive overnight. There has been plenty of time to process them and they’re still not all processed.

It makes you wonder if the public servants’ hearts are in their job. As for refugees in general Michael G Free, the movement of refugees in Europe is almost up to the figures recorded in World war II. Not bad for the latest war that we didn’t have to have.

John Cain, McCrae

in Somers. I have just received my notification from the council that I am up for $855.68, as my share of the footpath scheme.

If I do not pay up front, I will be charged interest.

I am absolutely disgusted, as I see this as raising the rates by subterfuge.

As I stated in a letter to the councillors, these are paths that are not wanted by a great many ratepayers and a hardship to many who cannot afford them.

Julia Bartlett, Somers

Festival of praise We at Victorian Maritime Centre would again like to congratulate Chris McLennan and his group of volunteers for again producing a great event for Hastings in the Western Port Festival.

It is an amazing task running such a huge event with such a small group of volunteers and just shows what can be done by dedicated people.

This event brings in large crowds from all over and showcases Hastings in a far better light as a great place to visit.

Continued Page 16 If only our town could be cleaned up maybe these people may come back more than once and spread the word. If only, Hastings could be great once more.

This small band is working tirelessly to improve the image of our town. It’s about time all the other community groups came on board and gave them a hand instead of sitting on the fence.

Just imagine what the event could become with everyone working together in the one direction.

Once again, thanks to Chris and his team, for the hard work and dedication for again staging a wonderful event well done everyone.

Max Bryant, Victorian Maritime Centre, Crib Point Letters to the editor can be sent to The News, PO Box 588, Hastings 3915 or emailed to: team@mpnews.com.au Letters should be kept to a maximum 300 words and include name, address and contact phone number for verification purposes.

Erosion control THE use of grass to control erosion at Daveys Bay, Mt Eliza, and Portsea will be promoted at a lecture organised by the South Eastern Centre for Sustainability.

The Vetiver System is based on using a cultivar of vetiver grass to stabilise eroded areas.

The grass, developed in India as a low cost solution to a range of environmental problems by the World Bank in the 1980s, has been used in Australia to stabilise mining sites, treat sewerage and along contaminated creek banks.

Dr Paul Truong, of Veticon Consulting, will speak at the $100 a head “Controlling and preventing erosion using vetiver grass” lecture on 9 March. Participants will also be taken to view eroded sites at Daveys Bay and Portsea.

The South Eastern Centre for Sustainability’s vice-president Elizabeth Lisinski said Dr Truong’s “unique approach” to controlling erosion is “endorsed in over 100 countries”.

“The methodology is tried and trusted and, above all, exceptionally cheap to implement as opposed to other conventional methods in addressing erosion,” Ms Lisinski said.

There is no charge for members of the centre.

The lecture will be delivered 3.30-5pm Wednesday 9 March at the Melbourne Business School, Kunyung Rd, Mt Eliza. Email enviro1@ live.com.au or call 0402 827 782.

Day of indulgence A Moroccan tent at Peninsula Hot Springs, Wednesday 17 February, was the meeting place for 20 peninsula women with one thing in common – they have breast cancer.

Their “Day of Indulgence” included an art therapy session in which the women expressed “where they are at” in their journey, and what was important to them, breast care nurse at Think Pink, Andrea Cannon, said.

Over lunch, speakers talked about breast cancer from new treatments, to specialist lingerie, to tips on dealing with cancer-induced debt.

For details on Think Pink and its programs for sufferers of breast cancer and their families, call 9820 2888 or visit thinkpink.org.au

NESTLED away on about 2 hectares of land, this beautiful single-level limestone residence is an oasis in the stunning peninsula hinterland.

Verandahs and an alfresco courtyard greatly add to the overall size of the home which is further enhanced with steepled ceilings in the formal lounge with open fire place. A bright dining area adjoins the smart galley-style kitchen complete with stainless-steel oven and plenty of cupboard space. The main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe has been zoned at the rear of the home, with two more bedrooms set at the front sharing the main bathroom. There is also a separate study. The home has a double garage under the roof line, there is further housing for vehicles to the southern boundary with a huge seven-bay machinery shed, and as you weave along the driveway take in the mod-grass tennis court with lighting.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The great Salt-N-Pepa brain invasion

By Stuart McCullough I DON’T know how it got it in there. Maybe while my back was turned, perhaps when I was sleeping. But whatever the method, fact is it’s wheedled it’s way in and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do to get it out again. Like a possum in a roof cavity, it’s going to be extremely hard to evict. Sure, like anyone, I remember Salt-N-Pepa’s smash hit from 1992, ‘Shoop’. I just never expected it to show up unannounced all this time later and take up residency between my ears. I am now in the unfortunate position that the lyrics to ‘Shoop’ burst into my thinking when I least expect. It is, at the very least, distracting.

For those who might not remember the song, it’s a joyous celebration of carnality using a term that, technically speaking, might not quite be a double entendre. In the hands of one of rap music’s pioneers, it’s a complete triumph; a bona fide smash hit that found it’s way to the top of the charts in countries all across the world, including this one. For myself, I didn’t buy the single and didn’t own the album. It’s nothing personal; there’s lots of stuff I don’t own. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that I haven’t heard the song in more than twenty years, which makes its reappearance now all the more bewildering.

It’s not the whole tune that’s moved into my brain like an unwanted backpacker. Just the opening line. ‘Here I go, here I go, here I go again. Girls, what’s my weakness? Men!’ Granted, it’s not exactly Shakespeare, but then again old Willy never really produced

PAGE 28

anything to which you could truly get your groove on. (Try dancing to Macbeth and you’ll see exactly what I mean.) As lyrics go, however, the opening lines of ‘Shoop’ are pretty much genius. Unambiguous and playful, they set up the next three minutes perfectly.

As great as it is as a piece of writing, it’s not the kind of stuff

Southern Peninsula News 1 March 2016

that should burst out of your mouth without due warning. Granted, in the sanctity of your own home, you can sing those lines as loudly as you please. However, the Great Salt-NPepa Brain Invasion of 2016 is not limited to my place of residence. It continues wherever I am, including work. Frankly, it’s difficult to explain to colleagues waiting to use the

photocopier why it is that you’ve just yelled ‘Girls, what’s my weakness?

Men!’ at great volume while undertaking a single to double sided copy.

Many of them won’t ever have heard of Salt-N-Pepa.

Song lyrics are amazing things.

They can seep into your muscles without you even knowing and leap from deep within your subconscious into broad daylight with no warning.

It happens to me all the time, and not just with Salt-N-Pepa. In fact, it’s commonplace that a random lyric barges into my mind and takes over for a significant period. Sadly, it’s not just good lyrics that have been known to wander aimlessly from whatever dark shadow in which they have lurked for years without causing any trouble to the very front of my mind.

Truth be told, there have been whole weeks of my life during which selected parts of Melissa Tkautz’s ‘Read My Lips’ have completely dominated my thinking. Even as I have stood, appearing to outside world to be engaged in conversation, I was really recalling Melissa’s famous exultation, ‘If you want to wait til later, hands off my detonator.’

Beyond the mere fact of remembering those words, what’s surprising is the frequency with which they return to me. I dare say that I think about those lyrics more often than Melissa Tkautz does. It’s no secret that in times of crisis, I often recall the words of the song ‘Cock-eyed Optimist’ from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical, South Pacific. Don’t be surprised if, when all around are panicking and losing their collective cool, you see

my lips moving to form the words, ‘I’m stuck like a dope with a thing called hope and I can’t get it out of my head!’

Oddly, when travelling on the number 67 tram, I think of the tune that Spiderbait’s Kram once described as the ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ of football songs; Mike Brady’s ‘Up There Cazaly’. It’s the bit where Mike declares ‘Me, I like football, and there’s a lot of things around. But when you line them up together, the footy wins hands down’ that comes to me just as I’m starting to nod off against the window. At least we owned the single. That and Chuck Berry’s ‘My Ding-a-ling’ are the only singles I remember my father bringing home from work. Perhaps I should be grateful that it’s ‘Up There Cazaly’ and not ‘My Ding-a-ling’ I recall.

I don’t resent the fact that Salt-NPepa are presently squatting in my mind. My only worry is the space they’ll undoubtedly take up. (Spindarella’s wheels of steel take up more room than you may imagine.) It would be a shame if, for example, I could remember the lyrics to ‘Shoop’ and not my pin number. I doubt my ability to convincingly bring the rhyme would be much assistance to the dumbfounded teenager staffing the checkout as I attempt to purchase groceries using nothing more than my microphone skills. But there’s little point sitting around worrying about something that may never happen.

Instead, I think I better Shoop. www.stuartmccullough.com

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Disappointment for Gallipoli boys Compiled by Melissa Walsh ENTRIES for the Somerville Fruit Show close on Saturday next, 11th March. The schedules of prizes and all particulars may be obtained from Mr S. S. Gault, at his office, Somerville. *** REV G. A. Kitchen, who has been away for a fortnight’s holiday, has returned, and will again take up his work in Frankston as usual. *** THE friends of Mr D. Petrie, of Frankston, will regret to hear that he is confined to his bed with a serious illness. We hope that he will soon be on the road to recovery, and able to resume his work. *** MRS Unthank, relict of the late Mr William Unthank, of Hastings, died at the residence of her daughter (Mrs A. E. Denham,) Tyabb on Wednesday last, at the ripe age of 73 years. *** FLINDERS Council report and other interesting items have been held over this week on account of pressure on our space. *** WORD was received on Monday from Driver F. Benson, of Somerville, that the operation for appendicitis was successful and he is improving. *** CPL Ted Reynolds has recovered from a poisoned arm, and is quite well and happy in camp.

*** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday next, when they will offer 8 jersey heifers, 4 dairy heifers, jersey bull, also good breeding sow, quantity of good suckers and sundries. *** CANON Pitt, assisted by Rev Wilkinson, preached morning and evening at St Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday last, and complimented the choir on their singing. These worshippers, especially the organist, are deserving of great praise, attending practice regularly, and always in their places at church services. *** THE Presbyterian services throughout this district are to be conducted on Sunday by Mr L. C. M. Donaldson Ershire Church, Carlton.

Harvest Festival services will be conducted at Mornington Junction afternoon and evening. The fruit and produce used for decorating the church are to be given to the poor of Carlton who are under the care of Mr Donaldson. *** MESSRS Alex Scott and Co will hold their monthly sale at Tanti, on Monday next, when a good yarding of cattle and sheep is advertised. On the same day the firm, in conjunction with Mr J. G.Barratt, under instructions from Captain Woodhouse, will offer 53½ acres of land, being part of Crown Allotments 7 and 8, section 23, Parish of Moorooduc.

*** LETTERS From The Front.The following are extracts from a letter, received by last mail, from Private “Sandy” Bray:—Since writing last we have had another move, but I can’t say where to as it would be censored. We are still going strong and I am in the best of health.

It has been very cold and rained for about a week, and as there is not much shelter in the trenches, we feel it a bit, but we have plenty of clothes, blankets, etc, so it is not too bad.

We get plenty to eat, mostly bacon, cheese, biscuits, but there is plenty of everything. We got our Xmas billies on January 15th. They were greatly appreciated by the boys.

We don’t have very much work just now, but standing in the trenches the hour before dawn is the coldest part of the job. We get off from dinner time till 4.30, when each has to go to his post. We don’t get much news, but a mail came in today and everyone has papers, so we will know a bit of what is going on in other parts of the globe.

We expect another shift soon. We have swarms of friends very close to us, and when the sun comes out in the afternoon, we take off our shirts and have a gray goose chase.

I see in the papers they are having another recruiting campaign over in Australia and reckon to get a good lot. By what we know from being here even these few weeks, they will all be wanted very soon. I must close now as it is nearly time to go into

the trenches amongst the mice and rats. Heaps of rats, some nearly big enough to ride for a pony. Don’t forget the papers.

I saw Fred Benson two weeks ago, he was A.1. Since above was written we have heard Driver Fred Benson is in hospital with appendicitis. He is making a good recovery.—Ed. *** EXPORTS are going away largely and the fruit inspector is kept busy.

Melbourne fruit market prices are very low and fruit is hard to sell on account of so much inferior stuff being sent in.

A start was made with cabbages this week. Mr J. Hutchinson being the first grower so send from here.The rain has made a big difference to all the cabbage patches. *** A large muster of men (48) awaited the Drs on Thursday last, to get examined for active service and 20 passed as fit. The number of men who have enlisted from Two Bays Nursery is 25. *** MR Coop collected a lot of apples from various growers and forwarded them to Langwarrin Camp, where they were much appreciated. *** MR Jack Murray met with a painful accident last week. Whilst getting through a barbed wire fence, he slipped and ripped his arm, severing a large vein. *** THE Church of England held its har-

vest festival on Sunday last. The church was tastefully decorated and large congregations attended both morning and evening. *** PREPARATIONS are well in hand for the coming show and committee are working hard to try and have things ready in time. *** WORD has been received that both Ptes A. and E. Meldrum are on the sick list. *** THE euchre tournament was well attended last Thursday evening, and a good sum of money was realised for the patriotic fund. *** A lot of disappointment was felt by the soldiers who were on Gallipoli prior to evacuation. They were told that billies were awaiting them in Egypt and all they got was a sight of the empty ones. *** TWO of our worthy councillors undertook a fishing excursion last Sunday. They left for Hastings early and after sailing in a motor boat for a time, ran on a mud bank, and stayed there from 9 a.m till 5 p.m All they got was a long wait and the (bite) of food they took with them. One got out to push the boat off the bank and nearly got lost in the mud. I bet the fish enjoyed it. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 4 March, 1916

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Magpies finish on top PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point finished the MPCA Provincial cricket home and away season on top of the ladder after recording a comfortable victory against Moorooduc on Saturday.

The Magpies will host Baxter in the first semi-final this weekend.

In the other big match over the weekend, Peninsula Old Boys and Somerville will go head to head for the second time in as many weeks when they clash in the second of the semi-finals.

Baxter maintained its position in the top four despite going down to Pines.

The loser over the weekend was Langwarrin, who had a chance to grab fourth place with a win against Mt Eliza. However, the Kangas couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the job done and finished

a game outside the top bracket.

Sorrento tried everything that it could to get an outright win against Rye. It took 15 wickets for the day but it still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to pickup the additional eight points. The Sharks finished four points behind Baxter.

In the match of the round, Peninsula Old Boys won the toss and batted first against Somerville, making 200 in their 40 overs.

Wade Pelzer opened with 41, Will Crowder was solid through the middle of the inning with 50 and Glenn Prendergast hit 35.

Brenton Alp was the pick of the Somerville bowlers, taking 3/44.

The Eagles started slowly and were 2/35 at one point before skipper Leigh Lowry came to the crease and hit an unbeaten 85 and Justin Allsop provided terrific support with 35.

Somerville got the runs (7/205) with three overs to spare.

Langwarrin had Mt Eliza on the ropes at 3/22, however, 57 from Keith Briggs and 25 from keeper Tim Clark helped propel the visitors to 9/165 in its 40 overs. It was enough to defend.

Travis Campbell top scored for the Kangas with 53 in reply and Simon McEvoy opened with 31, however, no other players made a serious contribution to the scoreboard.

Langwarrin was bowled out for 139 in the 39th over.

Nick Baron was the star for the Mounties with 5/27 from 9.4 overs.

The Mounties won four of their last five matches of the season.

Rye batted its full 40 overs against Sorrento with Justin King hitting 50 and Tom Baron 36.

Sorrento then made 2/143 in 16 overs with Leigh Poholke hitting 55

and Anthony Blackwell 45.

In the final 24 overs of the day, Rye made 5/40. CJ King took 3/7 from five overs.

Baxter will be looking for a much better performance in its semi-final than what it produced on Saturday against Pines.

Daniel Warwick top scored in his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of 136, while Dale Irving hit 32.

Debutant Connor Jackson was the pick of the Pinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/8 from 2.3 overs.

Pines scored 7/137 with one over to spare.

Rhys Chalkley top scored for the Piners with 46 and Harley PeaceStirling contributed 42.

Baxter opening batsman Todd Quinn was thrown the cherry and responded with 3/15.

Long Island welcomed the return

of Michael Burke for the first time this season against Mornington and the champ responded with a gamehigh 75. Peter Connell contributed 30 of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 141 runs in 40 overs.

The Islanders then bowled out the Dogs for 117.

Semi Finals Crib Point and Baxter met in Round 8 in the second match after Christmas. Baxter lost outright.

Baxter batted first and was rolled for 88 in 30.1 overs.

Jacob Cook was the destroyer with 6/43 and Glenn Barclay picked up 3/37.

Crib Point then made 9/192 with Ricky Thompson top scoring with 45.

Baxter was bowled out in its second innings for an embarrassing 53. Cook claimed 3/24 and Brad Davidson chipped in with 4/14 from 12.4 overs.

Teams blow their chances DISTRICT

By IT Gully HEATHERHILL and Seaford both blew their opportunities to sneak into the MPCA District top four on Saturday.

In the final round of the season, Flinders, Seaford and the Hills were all equal on 72 points.

Flinders seemed to have the easiest of tasks playing Seaford Tigers, while the Hills hosted Mt Martha and Seaford had the tough task of playing the best in the business in Red Hill.

Most eyes were on the Sharks and the Hills to see who would win and grab that fourth place.

However, there were also some eyes down at Carrum for the relegation match against Boneo.

Boneo cruised to victory, won its

final two games of the season and in doing so sent Carrum into Sub District.

The reality is that all three teams lost and the ladder, with Flinders in fourth place, remained unchanged.

So the semi finals this weekend will be between neighbours Red Hill and Flinders at the Showgrounds while Pearcedale will host Baden Powell at the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; den.

In good news for the finals, Baden Powell was able to turn around their horror run and win very comfortably against Main Ridge.

The win will give the Braves plenty of confidence after batting first and making 8/145, thanks largely to 80 runs from Tommy Wood. After scores of 3, 3 and 1 previously, the Braves would have welcomed the return of form for Wood.

Oliver McEnroe finished the season

on a real high for the Ridge, snaring 4/45 from his 10 overs, including a hatrick.

The Braves then rolled the Ridge for 104 in 34.2 overs.

Heatherhill couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the job done against Mt Martha.

The Hills won the toss and batted first and Kristian Miller got them away to a flier with 50 runs. However, he received little support until Jordan Creely (37) came to the crease.

The score of 9/138 appeared to be defendable.

The Reds made the runs (7/141) with six overs to spare.

Seaford was always up against it against Red Hill, however, would have given themselves a real chance when they bowled out the Hillmen for 148 in the final over.

However, Glenn Collett was at his

damaging best for the Hillmen and carved through the Seaford batting line up, taking 4/28 from 10 overs.

Simon Dart was also on song with 3/14 from five overs.

Delacombe Park just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score enough runs to trouble Pearcedale.

The Parkers batted first but were bowled out for just 115 in the 37th over.

Shayne Gillings was superb for the Panthers with 5/32 and Sam Frawley and Kaine Smith snared two wickets each.

Pearcedale then scored the runs with four overs to spare. Max Blackburn top scored with 35 and Brad Trotter helped himself to 33.

Andrew Stapleton claimed 3/34 for Delacombe.

In other matches, Boneo sent Carrum to Sub District after scoring

9/152 in its 40 overs. Cam Williams top scored with 42 and skipper Ryan Jellie hit 35.

The Pandas then bowled out Carrum for 138. Josh Dent scored 39 for the Lions.

Semi Finals Red Hill scored 303 against Flinders in their home and away match in Round 8.

Simon Dart top scored for the Hillmen with 108.

In reply, Andrew Power hit 82 to help the Sharks get to 241, a loss of almost 60 runs.

Pearcedale and Baden Powell met in the same round.

The Panthers recorded a solid victory after Max Blackburn top scored with 77.

Baden Powell was bowled out for 185 with Chris Dew snaring 7/42 for the Panthers.

Walk in the park: Carrum Downs did the job over Ballam Park with 13 overs to spare.

Blues limp into the finals SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully DROMANA will play Frankston YCW and Hastings will host Rosebud in the two MPCA Sub District semi finals this weekend.

As predicted last week, despite Carrum Downs being a mathematical chance of playing finals leading into the final round, Rosebud was never going to lose to Skye and that proved to be the case.

While the Buds won comfortably and finished in third place, the same can’t be said for the Blues.

Hastings was beaten by top of the table Dromana, meaning it hasn’t beaten a top four team this season.

Going into a sudden death final this week, Hastings have won just one of its past four matches. Suffice to say they have limped into the finals.

On Saturday against the rampaging Dromana, Hastings were wobbly early losing 3/26, before Timmy Birch (53) and Luke Hewitt gave their bowlers a target to defend (132).

Dromana’s Jack Fowler made that very difficult however, hitting 69 while Mark Whitehead provided solid support with 32, scoring 4/134 in 37 overs.

Mitch Floyd removed Darren Kerr for one and the Hoppers were 1/1 at that stage, however, by the time Fowler went out, the score had pushed along to 100.

MPCA star Jason Mathers rescued Rosebud in its win against Skye.

Mathers came to the crease with his side in some strife at 4/28, however, hit an unbeaten 63 and together with Peter Doughty, helped their side to 6/151.

Not enough: Ballam Park batted their 40 overs for 129 runs, but it wasn’t enough for a win. Picture: Andrew Hurst

Brian Doughty then did the damage with the ball with 4/38 while Jason Nagel chipped-in with 3/26 to bowl out Skye for 101 in 32.2 overs.

Frankston YCW didn’t fly into the finals as it would have hoped, going down to Balnarring.

The Stonecats batted first and seemed to set a winnable target with the red hot Lai Leaunoa hitting 80 and fellow opener Sammy Preston hitting 33. Jack Greenwood and Jason Bedford then opened the shoulders and helped the Stonecats to a good total of 7/179.

However, Balnarring wanted to finish the season on a high and skipper Brenton Taylor led the way with 76 while Tyler Wilton contributed 47. The Saints reached 5/183 with three overs to spare.

Carrum Downs did the job over Ballam Park with 13 overs to spare.

The Knights batted their 40 overs for 129 runs with Zac Clements top scoring with 43.

Leon McConnell then opened with a quickfire 78 to help Carrum Downs to 5/131 in 27 overs.

In the final match of the final round, Tootgarook (9/145) was too strong for Tyabb (9/143).

Semi Finals Dromana and Rosebud will head into this weekend’s semi finals as favorites.

However, one of Dromana’s rare losses this season came at the hands of the Stonecats in Round five.

The Stonecats hit 7/169 batting first before bowling out the Hoppers for just 86.

Just last weekend, Hastings lost to Rosebud in a reverse outright.

The Blues batted first and made 120 before bowling out Rosebud for 99. The Buds then bundled out the Blues in their second innings for 38 before getting home with 2/60 in their second innings.
