Plover protectors take dogs’ side Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is under pressure to set aside more leashfree areas before dogs are banned from beaches between Flinders and Point Nepean. The total ban on dogs on beaches within the Mornington Peninsula National Park comes into effect in November.

As well as banning dogs, the measures to protect the endangered hooded plover may also include laying poison baits for foxes and trapping feral cats. Groups that effectively lobbied the state government for the dog ban are now campaigning for more leash-free areas close to the beaches. The seasoned hooded plover campaigners dispute assurances from Mornington Peninsula Shire that the number of leash-free areas on the

southern peninsula is adequate. Privately, they say the shire has a negative reaction to being told what to do by the state government. When announcing the dog ban Environment, Climate Change and Water Minister Lisa Neville said many people were walking their dogs through hooded plover breeding areas despite restrictions being tightened in 2013. “The evidence shows that dogs and hooded plovers don’t mix. This ban is

the right decision to protect a vulnerable and threatened species for which the Mornington Peninsula National Park is an important habitat,� Ms Neville said. The losses of eggs and chicks by breeding hooded plovers have increased dramatically with just five chicks fledging from 245 eggs during the past two breading seasons. BirdLife Australia data shows that 70 per cent of hooded plover chicks

Peninsula leads call to ban jet skis David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au A MORNINGTON Peninsula councillor wants municipalities around Port Phillip to ban jet skis. Nepean ward councillor Hugh Fraser will try to drum up support for a jet ski ban from the 10-member Association of Bayside Municipalities. If they agree, the state government would then be asked to implement the ban. “This [ban] has been successfully accomplished on Sydney Harbour and I simply ask the question, as to whether that is a matter of interest to the association,” Cr Fraser said. He raised the jet ski ban at the 15 March council meeting, asking Cr Bev Colomb – Mornington Peninsula Shire’s delegate to the Association of Bayside Municipalities and its current president – if she would take it up at the association’s next meeting. Cr Colomb suggested that Cr Fraser talk to the shire’s coastal planners “and put a paper together” detailing his proposal. “I’m sure that the assembly of the 10 councils around the bay will look at that, as they do other things that are put forward to the ABM, [which will then] decide if it’s appropriate for them to put that forward. We do get a lot of requests along lines like that,” she said. The association was very busy, Cr Colomb said, with “several projects that we’ve got steerage of”. “There is a process where, if you put some things together – and you could bring that … along to the ABM and put that forward as other delegates do; and it’s actually around the table that

makes that decision.” Cr Colomb was reporting to councillors on dealings with the state government on the recently concluded Port of Melbourne lease and its impact on Port Phillip. The ABM had put a set of principles to the government, which it believes “would ensure the health of the bay for many years to come. We will be seek-

ing a response this week especially the monitoring of the bay and the shoreline as this is fundamental [to having] a benchmark for future monitoring of the bay,” Cr Colomb said. “We’ll be going back to the Treasurer this week to try and get some of those principles in place.” Jet skis, regarded by many beachgoers as a dangerous, noisy nuisance, are

strictly controlled by legislation. Operators must sit a test, be licensed and their craft must be registered. They and their passengers must wear lifejackets. A waterproof torch must be carried. Jet ski drivers are subject to hoon legislation if engaged in dangerous activity that could hurt another water user and police issue fines or seize a

craft used in a dangerous way. Hoon behaviour includes performing “doughnuts” within 50 metres of swimmers or other water users and exceeding 8kph within 50 metres of other water users or closer than 200 metres to the shore. Beachgoers seeing such behaviour can ring 000 and report it to police.

Court win may signal shire’s new hard line A $15,000 fine imposed on a bush block owner for illegally clearing land could be a warning to property owners that Mornington Peninsula Shire intends to take a tougher line with law breakers. The shire has not been noted for such prosecutions since in one notable case it won a conviction but never collected the $1145 fine when the property owner challenged it. In more recent high-profile cases land owners were successfully prosecuted, one for illegal land clearing, the other for illegally dumping sand on a property. The shire hailed the cases as a victory but declined to reveal wheth-

er the combined $35,000 in fines was ever collected. By contrast, the shire several years ago successfully prosecuted a Mornington woman for having more than the permitted number of cats. The most recent case involved land in Barkers Rd, Main Ridge, owned by Ms Antoinette Noronho, who pleaded guilty in Frankston magistrates court a fortnight ago to clearing native vegetation on her green wedge block. She was fined $15,000 and ordered to pay the shire’s S4000 costs, She will possibly also face a hefty personal legal bill. The court was told she had applied to clear part of her land two years

ago but officers who visited the block found clearing had already occurred. Prosecutions are expensive and the shire has always maintained it needs to be a “model litigant”, especially when dealing with some of the Mornington Peninsula’s financial heavyweights. Some have seen this as an excuse not to go to court. However, taking an expedient approach to possible lawbreakers with deep pockets – as occurred when then T’Gallant winery-restaurant owner Foster’s Ltd challenged its $1145 for breaking permit conditions – simply sends a signal that the shire can be made to blink, or look the other way,

THE RYE HOTEL

to the point that it will think twice and thrice before starting legal proceedings. Locals know of many permit condition breaches, often at green wedge premises such as winery restaurants, often related to patron numbers well over what permits allow. The result can be chaotic and dangerous roadside parking and overburdened waste disposal systems – septic tanks – which often results in groundwater pollution that is near-impossible to rectify. Patrons at some green wedge restaurants are keenly aware of this by way of offensive odours on hot, busy days. In some cases the shire was inclined

to ignore evidence supplied by frustrated locals who suffered from smell, illegal parking, illegal patron numbers and noise outside permitted opening hours. A shire officer once justified tolerance of such lawless behaviour by arguing that the responsible authority (the shire) was reluctant to take action against premises that provided the public good of employment. The next few months could well indicate a new, more stringent attitude to law breaking beyond parking too long at shopping centres. David Harrison

Gangs show ‘disregard for the law’ Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au A WILD brawl in Melbourne’s city centre has put the focus on a gang involved in brazen violent burglaries and car thefts in the south east suburbs over the past few months. Members of the Apex gang clashed with police at Federation Square and surrounding streets last Saturday evening (12 March) as terrified bystanders attending the Moomba Festival fled for safety. The high-profile clash caused Premier Daniel Andrews to vow to get tough with violent gangs. “What happened on Saturday evening was completely unacceptable,” Mr Andrews said at a press conference the day

after the brawl. “I will make sure that Victoria Police has whatever they need to smash these gangs and make sure we don’t have a repeat.” Mr Andrews said those responsible would “feel the full force of the law”. Police say the Apex gang, initially young men of Sudanese descent, now has more than 150 members from various backgrounds including Sudanese, Caucasian, Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern youths. The gang formed about 18 months ago and is named after a street in Dandenong where the gang’s founders lived. Police across Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula have noted gangs such as Apex have been responsible for violent carjackings in the area (‘Mobile gangs moving south’, The News 8/9/15).

The gangs use social media, including Facebook, and encryption apps to target the homes of owners of luxury cars to steal the vehicles. In some cases, the offenders smash their way into homes at night and demand the car keys from owners at gunpoint. Gang members, aged 14 and up, show little regard for innocent victims of their crimes. A 15-year-old Patterson Lakes boy believed to be associated with the Apex gang was arrested after an early morning collision in Mordialloc in November last year that killed 47-year-old mother-of-two Amanda Matheson who was driving to work. A contentious ‘no-pursuit’ policy introduced last year has been defended by senior police who say lives are at risk when offenders are chased since

they may be unlicensed and have no driving experience. Despite the Premier’s insistence that gang members will “feel the full force of the law” some police officers are frustrated at lenient sentences handed out to young offenders. In September last year, Frankston Embona Detective Sergeant Marty O’Brien said crime gangs such as Apex had a “blatant disregard for the law”. “We have 15 and 17-year-olds committing armed robberies and burglaries. They have no family support and their ages mean they walk straight from court.” He said one youth was bailed by Frankston Magistrates’ Court after committing 14 armed robberies. “Why a court would even entertain

the idea of bail I don’t know,” he said. “We need to get harder because it’s getting worse. Upon conviction, they should be sent straight out of the country. It’s a privilege to reside here.” Police arrested four people on the night of the Melbourne brawl and have vowed to track down other offenders. On Monday afternoon (14 March) two men, believed to be associated with the Apex gang, were arrested by police in Dandenong. The men, both aged 18, are alleged to have been involved in a recent spate of aggravated burglaries, carjackings and armed robberies across south east suburbs.

Crime is ‘stable’ on the peninsula CRIME on the Mornington Peninsula has bucked the rising statewide trend according to the latest figures released by the Crime Statistics Agency. While reported offences across Victoria in 2015 jumped by 8.1 per cent compared to 2014, crime on the peninsula remained “stable”, in the CSA’s opinion, with a 5.4 per cent rise between 2014 and 2015. Crimes against the person, including assault, fell on the peninsula from 1579 in 2014 to 1410 last year. There were eight homicides last year and seven in 2014. There were 10,997 reported crimes across the peninsula last year compared to 10,303 in 2014. The crime statistics are released by the Crime Statistics Agency every quarter and the latest figures were published last Wednesday. At a Melbourne media conference last Thursday Premier Daniel Andrews said he is unhappy at the statewide rise in crime. “Victorians don’t want any excuses and I will offer none,” he said. “Instead what I will say to every Victorian, and indeed, first among them, to the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Graham Ashton, if you need additional powers you will get them. “If you need additional resources, you will get them.” Victoria Police chief commissioner

Premier pledge: Daniel Andrews has vowed to give police the resources to smash gangs involved in violent burglaries and car thefts.

Graham Ashton said street gangs, such as the Apex gang who rioted in Melbourne CBD last Saturday evening, were mostly responsible for a rise in vehicle thefts and aggravated burglaries.

The run’s over: As from 1 November no dogs will be allowed within Mornington Peninsula National Park.

Plover protectors weigh in on side of dogs Continued from Page 1 “The reality is that there are absolutely no leash free areas adjacent to the MPNP for dog walkers to access once [the dog ban is] put into effect,” Mr Karakitsos stated last week in an email to the shire. He said three areas suitable for dogs to be leash-free have been identified by Dr Grainne Maguire of BirdLife Australia. Mr Karakitsos said declaring extra leash-free areas for dogs would allow a “seamless implementation” of the dog ban. “The shire does not operate within a vacuum and according to Holding Redlich Lawyers is a responsible authority operating under jurisdiction of the Victorian State [and] has a respon-

sibility to adhere to and [is] liable to prosecution for failure to act reasonably and responsibly,” Mr Karakitsos said. He said Dr Maguire was completing a paper which “shows compliance is significantly higher on dog prohibited beaches and that off leash dog beaches do attract more dog walkers, shifting them in the local landscape to these areas. Hence the need to ensure enough of these are provided”. Diane Lewis, president Friends of the Hooded Plover (Mornington Peninsula), feels “very sorry” for dog owners who obeyed the existing dog restrictions. “Many of our members will be affected by this decision. They too will need to find alternative places to walk

their dogs,” Ms Lewis said. “It is now up to the shire to provide suitable off leash areas for residents to exercise their dogs. “I estimate with over 25,000 dogs costing $35 each year to be registered, the shire collects in excess of $800,000. It is time some of this income is used for the benefit of all dog owners by providing the necessary spaces for their pets’ wellbeing.” The national park includes the coast between London Bridge and Bushrangers Bay, plus a stretch from Stockyard Creek to Flinders, and also an area north of Cape Schanck called Greens Bush. Until 1 November, dog walking is allowed in about 14 kilometres of the park’s 42-kilometre coastline.

Rock fishing is a deadly activity LIFESAVING Victoria has issued a list of safety measures for rock fishing which it sees as one of the most dangerous aquatic sports in Australia. The rocky shorelines of Mornington Peninsula facing Bass Strait are as much a lure to anglers as their baits are to fish, and just as deadly. On 10 January a 67-year-old man died after being swept from rocks while fishing at Sorrento. One week later a 26-year-old fisherman was washed off the rocks at Bridgewater Bay in Portland. The two deaths sparked an appeal from Life Saving Victoria for anglers to take more precautions. Top of the list is for rock fishers to wear lifejackets and never fish alone. The check list also cautions them to wear appropriate, lightweight clothing and footwear, avoid fishing during rough weather or where there are large waves, plan and escape route and “observe first, fish later”. A news release from LSV quotes Chinese fisherman Victor Fan, who survived a rock fishing drowning incident in January 2012 at Pyramid Rock. “People don’t realise just how dangerous rock fishing can be, I know I certainly didn’t,” Mr Fan is quoted as saying. “I urge people to learn from my mistake and ensure they prepare for changing conditions and always wear a lifejacket. No fish is worth risking your life.”

Statistics show there were 13 drownings along the Bass Strait coast between 2000-2012. Most of the incidents involved men aged 35-59 years from a non-English speaking background. None were wearing lifejackets. “It’s a sad reality that the simple act of wearing a lifejacket would have most likely saved many lives,” LSV principal research associate Dr Bernadette Matthews said. “If you do get swept off the rocks unexpectedly, wearing a properly fitting lifejacket will keep you afloat with your head above water until help can arrive.” Information on rock fishing: www. lifesavingvictoria.com.au/rockfishing

Disease no barrier to Everest bid DIAGNOSED with multiple sclerosis (MS) at 13, Bobby Bajram, pictured above, knows what it means to face difficulties in life. But being a determined type, he’s now created another peak that has to be reached: climbing Mt Everest. “I promised myself that MS would not beat me, and that one day I would walk to the top of the world,” the now 48-year-old last week explained to Rosebud Secondary College students. Mr Bajram’s visit followed a chance meeting with a group of the college’s students while hiking near Mt Bogong last month. “Our paths literally crossed,” he said. “The students were on their camp and I use the Bogong region for

my training.” During his visit to the college Mr Bajram spoke about his struggles with relapsing-remitting MS, such as five years of intermittent blindness and nine years in a wheelchair. He said MS still leaves him bedridden for half of each year. “When my MS attacks, half of my body still becomes paralysed and the pain is excruciating. Walking feels like I am walking through thick mud,” Mr Bajram said. When well, he follows a five-hour daily training regime including gym sessions and treks in a specialist climate room to simulate high altitude conditions. “I’m not a cowboy. Climbing Ever-

est is a huge challenge even for an athlete and requires the right preparation.” His preparation has already involved climbing the 5654 metre high Kala Pattar and Mera (6476m) in Nepal. He says his plan to climb Everest in early 2017 left his neurologist “extremely concerned” and could ultimately cause his MS to worsen. “I know the risks, but I think it’s important for all people, disabled or otherwise, to have a crack and see what they’re capable of. I know I could lose my sight again or end up in a wheelchair once more, so it’s important to have a go while I can,” Mr Bajram said.

NEWS DESK All ashore: Passengers disembark at Tooraddin after a cruise in the north eastern arm of Western Port which went as far as Stockyard Point, populated by one fisherman and seaboirda waiting for the tide to drop.

No lack of conversation on Western Port cruise Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au DEMAND for berths has been so great that organisers have arranged another cruise. There’s no captain’s table or, indeed, individual berths, let alone showers, bars and swimming pools. But at $10 a head last Tuesday’s (8 March) trip around Western Port organised by the Western Port Catchment Committee is obviously seen as a bargain. The committee is an affiliate of the Western Port Biosphere Foundation. The trip provides a chance for experts – professional and amateur – to share their thoughts and knowledge with other like-minded souls who are interested in the ecology of the bay. Even using the word bay to describe the large body of water bounded by Mornington Peninsula to the west and the Bass Coast to the east can spark discussion and admonishment. It

seems the officially gazetted name is Western Port, without any “bay”. Another argument revolves around politicians constantly referring to Western Port being a natural deep water port. Not so, say their critics, it’s more like a large estuary with a deep channel formed by a long submerged river. “The boat’s a chance for community people and agency representatives to get together and network,” organiser Ian Stevenson said. “They can interact, talk and examine issues related to Western Port. “The boat also takes them to areas of Western Port to which they may have never been and which are hard to access.” During last week’s tour of the waterway’s north eastern arm Save Western Port Action Group chairman Jeff Nottle said building a container port at Hastings would require dredging 24 million cubic metres of the seabed. “That’s enough to fill the MCG 15 times to the top of its grandstands,”

Southern Peninsula News 22 March 2016

Mr Nottle said. Taking out that much material would increase tidal flows along the already eroded Bass Coast. Mr Nottle also criticised the secrecy surrounding information gained from $40 million spent by the now sidelined Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA). “They’re excluded from the Freedom of Information Act,” he said. Sandra Johnson, the PoHDA’s environment manager, said it was “business as usual” for the authority which has been stripped of money and staff since the election of the state Labor government. She said the only remaining monitoring equipment was a wind station at BlueScope. In answer to a question, Ms Johnson said the Port of Hastings was a “bulk port, but there’s nothing in the foreseeable future on brown coal”. Greg Hunt, of the South Eastern Councils Climate Change Alliance,

said studies completed five years ago had shown Western Port sea levels could rise 17 centimetres by 2030 and 80 centimetres by 2100 “but might now be out of date”. He said the effects of these rises were “something local government has to deal with in planning”. Western Port had been identified as a “hot spot” for the “interplay of coastal processes and storm surges”, already causing severe erosion at Lang Lang and Tooraddin. “Someone will have to pay [to protect property and infrastructure], nationally and state,” he said, adding that government agencies were already “ducking for cover”. Mr Stevenson spoke about failed attempts at replanting seagrass, with energies now being directed towards re-establishing mangroves in the north eastern section of Western Port. Farmers and government agencies were building rock walls to prevent erosion and invasion of their land by

the sea. He said earlier, ad hoc building of levee banks had included waste and car bodies, “which was intolerable”. French Island-based environmental consultant Chris Chandler said spoke about the island’s history, both before and after the introduction of koalas. He detailed the felling of forests for salt farms and to fuel chicory kilns and how a developer in 1963 planned a causeway across the narrowest strip of water between the island and the mainland. Rejected by the state government, the causeway would have connected Stockyard Point, near Jam Jeerrup to the 700-lot Paradise Point estate. As the boat neared these two points of interest, binoculars and cameras were able to focus on a lone fisherman on the mainland and a flock of pied oystercatchers on the island. No trace of a causeway, just a feeling that nothing is likely to happen there soon.


Boat ramp Agreement on marine safety approach site search A STUDY will be held to identify sites for new boat ramps on the Mornington Peninsula. The Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance says a steering committee will hire consultants to undertake the $40,000 feasibility study. The state government-financed study will also investigate improving existing boat ramps. Head of the marine alliance Stefan Borzeki, who operates Yaringa boat harbour near Somerville, said 60 per cent of the state’s recreational boating took place on Western Port and Port Phillip. He said there had been “been little renewal or replacement of marine infrastructure in the past 25 years … This under investment is a grave risk for the viability of the marine industry”. “Boat ownership is increasing and the government has recognised the need to meet the demands of more access to our waters,”’ Mr Borzecki said. “With this demand there is a great opportunity to create more local employment in the marine sector, and more local jobs means greater local prosperity.” Mr Borzeki said the steering committee would include representatives from Parks Victoria, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Boating Industry Association Victoria and “key local industry persons from the MPMA”. The committee will seek expressions of interest from three “suitably qualified consultants to ensure the project is run in a timely, responsive and comprehensive manner”. “Victoria cannot lose more jobs, we as a community must create more jobs and the marine sector is a great industry for the Mornington Peninsula; the key to this is creating easier access to the waters of Port Phillip and Western Port.”

The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard and the Boating Industry Association of Victoria (BIAV) have supported a review of the current structure of marine safety activities in Victoria to strengthen the organisation and sustainability of the volunteer marine rescue services. In a meeting with the Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett and Victoria’s Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley, both the BIAV and the Volunteer Coast Guard raised the importance of having a coordinated approach with all marine rescue services and the development of an efficient interface between volunteer services and government agencies. “The meeting with Minister Garrett and Craig Lapsley, responsible for developing a new framework for marine safety in Victoria, provided an important opportunity for the Volunteer Coast Guard to put forward concerns in relation to future funding programs and the need for a coordinated framework,” Volunteer Coast Guard squadron board advisor Richard Burgess said. “We have also raised the issue of the importance that any new framework needed to provide the opportunity for the volunteer marine rescue operation in Victoria to retain a strong community identity.” Mr Burgess said that as a result of the meeting with Mr Garrett and the almost immediate commencement of a consultation process, the Volunteer Coast Guard has ceased its campaign of restricted services. Steven Potts, CEO of the Boating Industry Association of Victoria said the Volunteer Coast Guard, with over 750 volunteers, along with other marine rescue groups and Victoria Police were a major and vital part of the boating and marine industry in Victoria. Mr Potts said the development of a new framework for the Marine Rescue Operations in Victoria was an important foundation for the marine industry in Victoria, which contributes $4.5 billion annually to the State economy with safety on the

water underpinning consumer confidence. “Apart from the emergency services provided, the volunteer marine rescue organisations play an important role in their local communities. “Currently 95 per cent of the 172,000 of Victorian recreation vessels are trailered, less than 8 metres in length with 68 per cent of registered boats being operated on Port Phillip and Western Port Bays. “The projected increase of the population in the

central coast area of Victoria, including Port Phillip and Western Port, from 4.6 million to nearly 8 million by 2050, will see a doubling of boating activities. The BIAV see the framework now being developed by the Victorian government as part of ensuring we have a robust and sustainable marine rescue service for future generations.” Mr Potts said the BIAV looked forward to working with the state government and the Volunteer Coast Guard through the consultation process.

Signing in for survey DOZENS of people have already signed up to participate in a survey to find out what residents and ratepayers want for the future of the Mornington Peninsula. The online survey being conducted by the community advocacy organisation Peninsula Speaks will be independently managed and analysed and its findings sent to all three levels of government – federal, state and local. Peninsula Speaks’ co-founder Christine Haydon said the group hoped to have 3000 people on the survey register sop results adequately reflected community views. Follow-up surveys would be conducted using a database of people who registered to participate in the first survey. “Their input will be vital in informing decision making at federal, state and local government levels to shape the future allowing for population growth, managed development and

climate change,� Ms Haydon said. “The process will involve simple online surveys on a wide ranging series of topics distributed electronically on a periodic basis.� The group’s other co-founder Peter Avery said Peninsula Speaks wanted to “gain the widest possible range of views about the Mornington Peninsula, both now and how it could be by 2030�. He said answers to the survey would “identify the key priorities for the future and help inform and guide the key decision makers on the peninsula�. “Individual answers will be collated along with the answers from all the other completed surveys, so they will never be used on an individual basis.� To register for the Peninsula Speaks online survey about the peninsula’s future go to: info@peninsulaspeaks.org.au

Porsche driver dodges police POLICE are having difficulty in catching up with the driver of a Porsche Cayenne stolen from a Mornington car yard. The latest model of the upmarket SUV retails for more than $139,000 and the one stolen on 9 March has been spotted several times in Frankston and Seaford. However police have been unable to catch up with the erratic driver who has sped off at high speed, disobeyed traffic control signals and turned off the vehicles headlights. The white 4x4 Porsche, bearing reg-

istration plates ABF 179, was stolen overnight but police believe the registration plates are being changed each night. Police patrols have spotted the Porsche has been seen on the DandenongFrankston Rd, Sussex St and Bellevue Cres in Seaford, on the Frankston Freeway and on Ballarto Rd. When seen early Friday morning its registration plate was 1DT 2LC. Anyone who sees the vehicle or has any information can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Gather round: Singing teacher and conductor Kathleen McGuire, centre, and pianist Yolette Stewart lead the way for Patterson River Secondary College students at Singfest. Picture: Yanni

Schools hit the high notes IT was Patterson River Secondary College’s turn to host the annual Singfest that sees choirs from schools across the South Eastern Region meet, learn and perform choral music under the leadership of a guest conductor. Conductor Dr Kathleen McGuire, co-artistic director of the School of Hard Knocks, took up the baton in Carrum last Wednesday (16 March) to lead about 200 students from ten schools across the south east this year. Dr McGuire’s career as a conductor, composer and educator spans more than three decades and five countries. She has earned multiple degrees including the Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

A variety of choral music was composed and arranged by Dr McGuire to help students improve their musicality, intonation and sight reading abilities. Since the guest conductor was also the composer and arranger of this year’s music at Singfest it gave students a greater insight into the music learned and performed. Nineteen Patterson River Secondary students from years 7 to 12 took part in Singfest. “The day ran very smoothly with students very happy to go out of their way to meet and help students from other schools,� principal Maree Vinocuroff said. Dr McGuire was assisted over the course of the day by accompanist Yollette Stewart.

Day at the beach: The surfers try their best and, if they cop a soaking, clamber back on board (top) during the Saturday 5 March event held by the Mornington Peninsula branch of the Disabled Surfers� Association. As well as relying on the power of the sea to provide waves, the day at Point Leo succeeded due to the power supplied by hundreds of volunteers, cheerfully helping about 120 people with disabilities find out how it feels to ride a wave. Part of the small army of volunteers kept a steady stream of barbecued sausages flowing onto the beach while photographers snapped every surfer and their support teams.

Inspiration found in power of the surf Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au HARNESSING energy is the key to a successful day of surfing at Point Leo: people power and wave power. Saturday 5 March was overcast all morning; there was a small swell and southerly winds. Not the best forecast for good surf or a day on the beach. But from just after dawn cars and vans began arriving at Point Leo. Trestle tables were set up, barbecues fired up and tents erected. A small fleet of wheelchairs was lined up just outside the lifesaving clubhouse. The wheelchairs are the clue to the day’s event, a day of surfing for a group of people who are denied easy access to this one of life’s pleasures. The Mornington Peninsula branch

of the Disabled Surfers’ Association is holding its second, and final, event for the year. With up to 300 volunteers needed to help about 140 disabled people have fun in the waves, it seems like a lot of effort. But the level of enjoyment is reflected in the faces of everyone involved. In keeping with its motto, the Disabled Surfers’ Association is putting “smiles on dials�. Gradually the car park fills. Hundreds of volunteers checking in to obtain wetsuits and coloured vests. Most wear blue, although there is red for team leaders and green for marshals. The necessity for colour coding becomes clear once the surfing begins. Before that happens, the “participants�, or surfers, also arrive. They come in cars, mini buses

bearing the names of organisations catering for the disabled and vans fitted with wheelchair ramps. It is not necessary to describe their disabilities, although it’s fair to say they are many and varied, physical and mental. When it's their turn for surf, some of these surfers walk to the water’s edge, others arrive in the wide-wheeled beach wheelchairs, some are carried. They wear bright yellow vests. Their faces all tell a story. There are smiles, looks of apprehension; some are unable to make facial expressions or even talk. The physical side of their surfing is just as diverse. Some lie on the surfboards (on their backs and fronts), some stand or kneel. Others are carefully placed in specially-built bean bag “chairs� that gently mould into

shape to support their bodies. There are wetsuits like large socks that cover two legs at once. Such a constriction would be a real problem for someone whose legs worked individually; for someone whose legs do not work at all, the neoprene sock provides warmth. No matter what the disability, these people are out to enjoy themselves. They come with carers and families (the ones in grey vests). Brothers and sisters take obvious delight in seeing their sibling lapping up the attention and enjoyment. Participating. The actual surfing is carefully managed. Two lines of volunteers (blue vests) create a safe channel to the shore. Most often a team leader (red vest) will lie at the back of the board, steadying and steering it as it is pushed shoreward.

And the surfer, who has adopted whatever position is possible on the flat board, is suddenly transported into a realm that’s not possible in a swimming pool. The raw energy of a wave created by wind thousands of miles away is being expended on a beach within Western Port. That wave’s final act carries to shore whatever dreams and feelings the surfer may have. They ride on a wave of natural energy, safe in the knowledge that helping hands are a few centimetres away should an upset occur. And sometimes those upsets, wipeouts, happen. But it is happiness that shows on the faces of the surfers who, for one small moment slip into the white water, a watery realm that only a surfer knows, and loves.

Police outrun motorcyclist A MOTORCYCLIST pulled up at an Operation Wasp roadblock at Peninsula Link Bungower Rd exit at 11.30pm Friday 11 March ran off while being questioned by police. The 28-year-old Frankston North man was caught after a short pursuit and remanded in custody to appear at Frankston Magistrates Court Monday 14 March. Police said the man outstanding warrants and was wanted for several burglaries. Sergeant Steve Duffee of Mornington police said all Peninsula Link off ramps were blocked during Operation Wasp. “It is a road police operation where we set up off the exits on Friday at the start of the long weekend. It is a called Wasp as it is part of a sting operation,� Sergeant Duffee said.

Senior Sergeant Andrew Brockway, commander of the Division Four Highway Patrol said the operation breath tested drivers from about 2800 vehicles. “We identified six that exceeded the prescribed concentration of alcohol and two that exceeded the prescribed concentration of drugs. Two vehicles were impounded from these offences. We also identified one disqualified driver and two unlicensed drivers and issued a further nine penalty notices,� Senior Sergeant Brockway said. “These statistics are on par with what we have identified with previous Wasps, so issues with people continuing to drive while affected by alcohol and drugs are still continuing. We will continue to do these operations over Easter and the coming Anzac long weekend.�

Petrol drive-offs problem at pumps FRANKSTON has been named as a municipality where petrol station owners must beware of drivers leaving without paying for fuel. A state parliamentary inquiry into petrol drive-offs found Frankston is the sixth highest area in the state for nonpayment of fuel. The inquiry into fuel drive-offs report, tabled in Parliament last week, revealed drivers left service stations in Frankston without paying for petrol

1604 times from 2005-2014. The Mornington Peninsula did not rank in the top 10 drive-off locations. Kingston was ranked 10th in the drive-off stakes with 1233 in the same period. Brimbank (4035), Casey (3190) and Hume (2480) took out the top three places in the petrol drive-off hall of shame. Victoria Police told the inquiry numberplate thefts have contributed to a rise in petrol thefts in recent years.

New change rooms: With Paul Edbrooke, centre, after the announcement of a grant for change rooms for women at Centenary Park, Frankston, are, from left, Colin Hampton, James Dooley, Mark Brandon, Clayton Lee, Tanya O’Brien and Peta Murphy.

Changes for soccer women By Craig MacKenzie PENINSULA Strikers soccer club will build two women’s change rooms at Centenary Park. “We promised the Frankston community the great sporting facilities it deserves and that’s exactly what we’re delivering,� Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said when announcing a $100,000 grant from the Community Sports Infrastructure Fund.

“They love their sport in Frankston and this fabulous project will mean participants of all abilities will be able to strut their stuff at a facility they can be proud of.� The new female-friendly facilities will allow the club to increase women’s and girls’ participation rates by enhancing the match day and training experience for all female players. “The building for this project will start in April or May when the large

club overhaul gets underway and to say that we are ecstatic about this announcement is a massive understatement,� Strikers president Mark Brandon said. “The extension to our training facilities, the new lights, the pending clubroom refurbishment and now the additional change rooms are going to allow our women’s wing and our juniors to double in size.�

Thousands flock to watch sky ‘warriors’ THEY may be noisy and, technically, outdated and slow, but there’s no doubting the fascination of old warplanes. Thousands of spectators flocked to Tyabb airfield on Sunday 13 March to watch a collection of “Winged Warriors” take to the sky in a display that’s part showmanship (stunt planes blowing smoke) and part aeronautical genius. However, while many of the planes at the Peninsula Aero Club’s biennial event are privately owned, the RAAF sent down a modern C-17A Globemaster III which put on a dramatic display of low flying and a final flypast at 300 knots. But it wasn’t all eyes skyward all the time as there were plenty of planes available for inspection on the ground dated from the 1930s to the 1950s. Nearby was a display of classic cars of the same vintage.

LETTERS As far as my political preferences go, both Liberal and Labor parties are nothing more than pathetic shadows of what they once were. Because of his red herrings I can only assume he thinks gulag is more acceptable than concentration camp. The turmoil that the world populace is experiencing is down to George Dubyah, Tony Blair and, to a small extent, John Howard. Up until the invasion of Iraq there were no car bombings throughout the world and no Middle Eastern cities being destroyed as is in Syria and Libya or the hundreds of thousands of people being killed or displaced by America, Russia and the splinter groups. Why Mr Free mentioned baby Asha from Nepal is beyond me. He stated that Nepal was a "country with no war�, [but] Maoist terrorist groups have been operating in Nepal since 1996. The United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has deemed that Asha's parents are refugees and not criminals and that goes for all those people in detention centres. John Cain, McCrae

No safety in program

Peta Murphy’s statements (“Safe Schools needed�, Letter, 8/3/16) are misleading. Roz Ward of La Trobe University, who developed this program, told the 2015 Melbourne Marxism conference that its purpose was to undermine the capitalist-imposed cultural and moral norms around sex, marriage, and the family. To make the program palatable she presented it as an anti-bullying measure, but it has nothing to do with bullying. Bullying for sexual reasons is a very minor reason for bullying. Further, if it was about bullying, it would present advice on how to stop bullying and what to do if bullied. Children as young as 11 are taught that their physical gender does not matter – their gender is whatever they feel it is. So, if a boy feels he is a girl, then he is a girl. Schools, instead of recommending psychiatric help for this delusion, are encouraging it. For example, Frankston High School encourages boys who feel that they are girls to dress in girl’s uniforms and use the girls’ toilets and changing rooms. This program directs children to the Minus18 website, where girls who think they might be boys are shown how to bind their chests to prevent their breasts from growing. It also tells children how to hide their trails so that their parents won’t be able to check what web sites they visit. This sexualisation of young children and the promotion of homosexuality and pathological gender dysphoria are psychologically damaging. If you are concerned for your children’s welfare, you should take action to prevent or stop this program being taught at your school. John Rodda, Safety Beach

Sky rail support My Vote is for sky rail the sooner the better. It seems the major parties are in disagreement again, with the Liberals calling for the elevated rail plans to be dumped and the local Liberals favouring undergrounding the railway. The Labor government, which committed to fix our traffic problems, believes that lifting the railway high over the many crossings would be cost effective. The cost of tunnelling from Mordialloc to Carrum in the bayside primary sand dune and the cost of defending the tunnel from the high water table, concrete corrosion and puddling from vibration is overlooked by the tunnel lobby. The travellers on the elevated railway will enjoy a great view, not locked into a spooky dark tube. Objectors, instead of frustrating the government on sky rail, how about getting it moving on the long awaited length of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway from Springvale Rd towards Moorabbin. Les Williams, Edithvale

Back on board, briefly May I extend a Bravo Zulu message (naval talk for well done) to all your readers. Early this month, a naval reunion at HMAS Cerberus marked the 50th anniversary of the entry of supplementary list RAN midshipmen to HMAS Cerberus, or Flinders Naval Depot. The three individual intakes included those

Underachieving Rubbish bagged: Volunteers and rubbish collected at Mills Beach, Mornington, on the national Clean Up Australia Day. Picture: Supplied

Media bagged for clean-up failure IT was hard to tell by the amount of rubbish collected from around Mornington on Clean Up Australia Day (Sunday 6 March), but volunteers were thinly spread. The annual clean-up day sees thousands of volunteers collecting rubbish across Australia, but organisers of the Mornington clean-up effort are blaming the media and Mornington Peninsula Shire for the lack of interest. Mornington Environment Association president Jan Oliver said there was no “local media coverage� before the event. “The shire didn’t publicise CUA either, though we had lots of shire publicity in 2015,� she said in a letter to The News. “Consequently, this year we did not have enough volunteers. We could not complete the rubbish pick up along Mills Beach and clear the disgraceful numbers of bot-

tles from underneath the bathing boxes. “But we did clear up Tanti Creek – two volunteers only at Hunters Bridge - of an engine, a computer scanner, plastic lounge and these, combined with the Mills Beach-Tanti Creek estuary, Life Saving Club and Red Bluff clean up, got 11 full bags of plastics and general rubbish, seven full bags of cans and bottles and one cubic metre of hard waste.� Ms Oliver said there were three other sites around Mornington, “though we didn’t see much activity there – again, volunteers were scarce�. “Picking up other people’s rubbish is awful. Not having enough volunteers is bad too. Having no media publicity is worse. “We are supposed to be increasingly environmentally conscious – but we are not seeing that at such events.�

of the seaman, aircrew and supply (logistics) branch. We got to tour our old gun room, now hosting the naval sea cadets, and toured many facilities. It was down memory lane to visit the museum, superbly run by Warrant Officer Marty Grogan in company with many fine volunteers. We were old navy so it was delightful to inspect the training schools and note the technological advances. The commanding officer, his executive officer, his visit liaison officer and his command team made a personal contribution in their own weekend down time to welcome us back from a future in 1966. All involved should be commended, as well as all those outlets which accommodated and victualled us. Thanks should also to the wider Western Port and Mornington people who may have been unaware of our visit but they should not remain unremarked. They drive very safely.

We lived among you once and it was nice to be back with you again, if only briefly. Whatever happened to those raw young men? Many of us returned to throng again. We were also honoured when decorated Vietnam veteran Dave Sabben of Mt Eliza bade us farewell. Mike Fogarty, Weston, ACT

Misquoted I do wish that Michael G Free would stop misquoting me (“Illegal proof�, Letters 8/3/16). At no stage did I say that Tony Abbott "invented" the phrase “illegal Immigrant�. What I did say was that it was "coined" by him. If Michael G Free would care to look at a thesaurus, to coin a phrase means "as the saying goes", "in a nutshell", "axiomatically","platitudi nously". No mention of the word invent. I hope Mr Free still enjoys reading those three large study books as I couldn't give damn as to who invented “illegal Immigrant�.

At the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in 2009 the world representatives came to the conclusion that in order avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change we must become a society creating low carbon emissions. Australia, as a member of the “haves�, was committed to a reduction of 25 per cent to 40 per cent of emissions by 2020 (four years away). At Paris last year our representatives were talking about 20 per cent reduction with an absolute minimum of 40 per cent by 2050. Today, we hear that February was the hottest on record. How often do we hear phrases like “the hottest on record...�; “it has never been so dry....�; “the worst storm to hit....� and “the highest flood ever recorded...�? Climate change is the most serious problem the world has had to face. Some countries take it seriously by implementing permanent means of reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere. Why then would a country, when every possible effort has been made to reduce CO2 emissions, decide to move their most experienced and knowledgeable climate scientists to another field and reduce the funding for climate science? Why would they plan to open huge coal mines when any other country would be finding alternatives to polluting the atmosphere with CO2? Does the news that our Great Barrier Reef is bleaching at an ever increasing rate not create panic with politicians? Australia desperately needs scientists who are creating progressive programs to avoid the above disasters. We need a scientist who understands and is prepared to act on climate change as a Minister for the Environment. Peter Strickland, Balnarring

No change with new PM Greg Hunt [Flinders MP and Environment Minister] seems to be still stuck in the Abbott era. His insistence on the proposed disenfranchising of environmental and civil defence groups if they dare to question untenable and sloppy development proposals, show how twisted his vision for the protection of our environment really is.

Sustainable lingo rewarded IT WAS a small gallery that gathered at the shire’s Rosebud bunker for the council meeting of Tuesday evening, 15 March. And a diminished roll call of councillors: Anne Shaw and Andrew Dixon had been felled by ’flu; Lynn Bowden was also an apology. It was the day after the Labor Day public holiday and the festive feeling lingered. Fred Crump of Mornington had brought his kite, in the shape of an eagle, that had soared recently at the Rosebud kite festival. And he brought a question. Shire tree planting in Mornington Park, including a banksia that had been moved just a couple of metres, had been an unmitigated failure. Nearly all had died. When would the shire hire “proper qualified tree doctors”, he wanted to know. Responding, shire chief operating officer Alison Leighton said this was disappointing. “Council has recently instructed our contractors to increase the frequency of watering trees, particularly in the Mornington area,” she said. The shire needs its gadflies, its Fred Crumps, defenders of their communities. A little later we were given a glimpse of how shire officers prepare applications for state government grants – their strategy, if you like, to use a favoured bureaucratic term. It is bureaucrats versus bureaucrats. A word of explanation. In the shire’s reorganisational turmoil over more than a year, the word “sustainable” has been pitched in the bin. We are no longer “committed to a sustainable peninsula”. Our executive team is no longer labelled director of “sustainable” this or that. It was meaningless white noise. Good riddance.

So when Rita Kontos presented the Sustainable Transport Strategy (2015-2020) for adoption, Cr Tim Rodgers pounced. “Sustainable” must go, he grumbled. Ms Kontos, the shire’s “sustainable” transport project coordinator (a title CW confidently predicts will soon change), defended stoutly, if wordily, and ultimately successfully against the formidable Tim Rodgers-Hugh Fraser tag team. It boiled down to this: when applying for state or other government funding, you play their game. If “sustainable” is part of their lingo, and your funding application might get knocked back if you don’t use the word, bung it in, at every possible opportunity. And, as Ms Kontos explained, there are several transport “strategies” – known to to plain folk as “plans” – each with its own meaning. The common or garden “transport strategy” differs from the “integrated transport strategy”, which contains far more transport elements than the “active transport strategy”. There’s one more, which I must mention here, at peril of causing readers’ brains to explode. It is, of course Ms Kontas’s “sustainable transport strategy”, which incorporates “active transport” (cycling and walking), community, public transport, ride sharing and any other identified sustainable modes of transport. Stay with me, Dear Reader. We have

now arrived at the gist, the nub, the denouement, of the tale. Here is the crucial exchange, verbatim: Cr Fraser: Have the department actually made it plain that you have to use the word “sustainable” in the title or is it simply that it’s obvious from the contents of the document itself? Ms Kontos: The funding that will be made available will be made available for active and sustainable transport projects. Naming it anything else when in fact it is mainly focused on sustainable transport projects would not be a reflection of what the document actually is. Cr Fraser: So what you’re able to confirm to me is that the government criteria specified for funding, if we should seek it, requires a reference to how it’s sustainable. Ms Kontos: It may not require the term sustainable to be mentioned. However, the funding will be made available for sustainable transport strategies. So I think we would be better placed if we had the name kept as it is so that we can confidently apply for this grant without necessarily making an excuses or a long description of why it’s not called a sustainable transport strategy. This makes perfect sense to devotees of “Yes, Minister”. CW feels a certain sympathy and admiration for shire officers who speak one language outside their work hours and another when they enter the shire portals. It is said one only truly speaks a second language when one dreams in it. Do shire officers dream in bureaucratese? David Harrison

Sorting time: Mt Eliza Rotarians Carolyn Such, Linda Morris, Judy Thompson and Janet Richards sort through items for their club’s annual garage sale being held at the Peninsula School on Saturday 2 April. Picture: Yanni

Boomer times help stock garage sale DOWNSIZING baby boomers are among the main contributors of items for this year’s Rotary Club of Mt Eliza’s garage sale. The club has been collecting and sorting goods for the past three months for next month’s sale of collectible items, including artworks, books, bric-a-brac, furniture, kitchen ware, plants, pots, tools, sporting goods, toys and games, CDs and DVDs and second hand clothes. Breakfast and coffee will also be available. The annual garage sale is one of the club’s main ways of raising money for Rotary programs, many of which are community based. The garage sale will be held 8am-3pm Saturday 2 April at the Peninsula School, Wooralla Drive, Mt Eliza (entrance gate 2, Melway 105 F/G4).

Suicide alarm The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures on suicide show this is a national calamity. On the Lifeline Facebook page was reference to the trending up of male suicide figures since 2005 to three quarters of the total, representing 41.5 men a week. The Age had a front page heading mentioning the 12 per cent increase in suicides of younger women (that men were 75 per cent of the total was mentioned on page seven). Suicide Prevention Australia has described suicide as a “human behaviour - a response to unbearable psychological pain”. Lifeline CEO, Pete Schmigel stated: “Devastating is the only way to describe the increase in deaths by

suicide in Australia”. Jasmin Newman writes on Facebook that “systems and structures should be working with men, not against them, family court, child support agencies, family violence, and child protective services, and of course financial ruin, homelessness, and helplessness, when they feel everything is taken away from them”. It is time we all realised the huge deficit in management of suicide completions. Tony Nicholl, Mt Eliza

Independent preferences The push for “senate election voting reform” is nothing more than a big push by the political mafia (Greens, Coalition, and Labor) to control our democratic process and enhance their positions of power without restraint. The candidates that get elected as independents are the only thing saving us from total domination by the political mafia. We need people like Ricky Muir to balance the power.

Unlock the beach A few weeks ago I visited Blairgowrie beach, as I often do for a walk on the pier and along the sand. I parked as usual in the public car park above the beach and walked down the “Public access to beach” steps. Two things I noticed immediately: there was loud music on loudspeakers and commentary on some sort of competition coming from the Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron which spoilt a beautiful Sunday morning. The other thing was that there was no access from one side of the beach to the other. There is a new concrete boat ramp and separate concrete pier which effectively blocks

walkers and beachgoers coming down the steps from the car park. At the bottom of the steps in front of Scott’s Shed there is a chain wire fence and a padlocked gate. Why is there a locked gate on the beach? To get to the other side of the beach I had to duck down low and walk under the new concrete boat ramp and refurbished pier. It was lucky the tide was out, otherwise I would have been stuck on the Camerons Bight side of the beach. I was not the only beachgoer that day who was frustrated by the locked gate at the bottom of the carpark steps. The gate and fence should be removed so we can all walk freely along Blairgowrie beach.

Campuses closed, graduation rates unknown Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au GRADUATION rates at the individual campuses of privately operated training colleges are not being monitored by the federal government despite billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money paid out to the college operators. The cost of VET FEE-HELP courses being offered by private education providers soared to $1.6 billion nationally last year with taxpayers footing the bill for loans to students to pay for vocational college courses. Most of this money is unlikely to ever be repaid since graduation rates at the private colleges are extremely low and some colleges have ceased operations recently after coming under scrutiny by

the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over the marketing of VET FEE-HELP courses, marketed as “study now, pay later” courses, to low-income students with little chance of completing courses. Evocca College, a registered training organisation (RTO) with a campus in Frankston, announced last week it will close 17 of its 44 campuses across Australia and sack 220 of its 770 staff across the country. Evocca’s Frankston college will remain open but the company refuses to confirm graduation rates at the campus. “It’s Evocca’s policy not to disclose statistics relating to specific campuses,” Evocca spokeswoman Suzanne Ross said late last year (‘Unanswered

questions on Evocca graduation rates’, The Times 2/11/15). The federal Department of Education has now advised The Times it “does not collect student completion data by campus”. “Course completion data is reported to the Department at the provider level and not at campus level,” a statement said. “Therefore the department is unable to provide course completion data at the campus level.” The Department and Gemma Sandlant, a media adviser to Liberal Vocational Education Minister Scott Ryan, refused to provide a spokesperson name for the emailed statement. “It’s a response from the department, so it can be attributed to the department,” Ms Sandlant said.

Evocca has received more than $400 million in VET-FEE HELP funding nationally. Department of Education figures reveal 32.9 per cent of VET-FEE HELP students at Evocca in 2011 had graduated by 2014 and 22.4 per cent of students who signed up in 2012 had finished their course. The Department of Education advised The Times there were 447 students enrolled at Evocca’s Frankston campus in 2014 despite being unable to confirm graduation rates there. Evocca College CEO Craig White admitted the company is closing campuses and firing staff due to changes to eligibility criteria imposed by the federal government in January for VET FEE-HELP loans to students. “Fewer students will now be able to

qualify to enter Diploma-level courses at all training organisations under new rules including more stringent language, literacy and numeracy testing requirements. In addition, VET FEE-HELP has been capped to 2015 levels, restricting the growth of all providers, both public and private,” he said in a statement last week. “A workforce reduction is always the last resort and Evocca College has taken every possible step to minimise the impact of the changing operating environment on our staff.” The VET FEE-HELP system was introduced by the former federal Labor government in 2009. Labor announced last week it will order a full audit of the vocational college sector if it wins government at this year’s federal election.

Healthy Living Wind Horse Festival in Rosebud THE Medicine Buddha Centre in Kars Street Frankston is once again bringing the Lungta or “Wind Horse” Festival to Rosebud on Good Friday 25th March and Easter Saturday 26th at the Rosebud Memorial Hall. This year Lama Tendar will be joined by a highly respected Rinpoche Ngawang Tenzin, in presenting daily meditation sessions and teachings. Both Lama Tendar and Rinpoche are masters of the world renowned Buddhist chanting. Liam Kelly, a sound healer, will join them for the ever popular Sound Bath workshops, with a

highlight being the Good Friday night concert from 7 to 8.30pm on Friday evening. A sand Mandala will be constructed over the two day period, culminating in a dispersal ceremony on the beach at the close of the Festival. Delicious vegetarian meals, cakes, icecream, chai and drinks are available, along with free children’s activities, a range of health and wellbeing stalls, and Tibetan Buddhist handicrafts and artefacts. Tickets are $10 Friday concert $15 purchase at the door. For the full Program and times see www. tendar.net

CRICKET in Frankston is on a good wicket with a $330,000 upgrade of turf and synthetic training pitches announced at Jubilee Park last Thursday (17 March) as part of a state government Community Cricket Program. New cricket nets at Jubilee Park and RF Miles Reserve will give the 200 players that play at the Frankston Peninsula and Seaford Cricket Clubs new opportunities to train and develop their skills with bat and ball. “We are home to some great budding cricketers in Carrum and Seaford,” Carrum Labor MP Sonya

Kilkenny said. “Who knows, this upgrade might just help produce the next homegrown male or female cricketer to play for Victoria or Australia.” Cricket Australia executive game and market development general manager Andrew Ingleton welcomed the investment in the game. “The Community Cricket Program is a terrific partnership between the Victorian Government, Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria, working with local councils and cricket clubs to provide critical facilities and infrastructure to local cricket communities,” he said.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Water to be supplied to naval base Compiled by Melissa Walsh APPROVAL has been given by the State Cabinet to the preparation of a scheme by the Water Commission for the supply of water to the Flinders Naval Base, and a number of towns in the Mornington Peninsula. The supply, it is suggested should come from the Bunyip River, but before this can be finally decided further surveys will have to be made. The cost of the scheme will probably run from £160,000 to £170,000. It has been intimated, however, that the State Treasurer is not willing to find that sum unless the Federal authorities are prepared to make satisfactory arrangements for obtaining the money. In anticipation that these arrangements will be made, the Cabinet approved of recommendations by the Water Commission that it be empowered to make surveys, so as to ascertain the most effective sources of supply, and evolve a suitable scheme for submission to the Federal authorities and local councils. The number of towns to serve is eight, namely, Aspendale, Chelsea. Carrum, Seaford, Frankston, Somerville, Mornington, and the Naval Base. If the Bunyip scheme, which, it is thought is the most effective, is adopted, Bunyip, GarfieId. and Cranbourne may also be supplied. *** IN our account of the Mornington Races last, week we placed Gallant-

ry as the winner of the run off in the Kitchener Purse. It should have been Boothnulla first, Gallantry second. *** MESSRS Adamson, Strettle, and Co, auctioneers, of Melbourne, notify in our advertising columns that they will hold chair opening style at the Tanti Yards on 17th April, commencing at one o’clock, for which entries are invited. *** THE many friends of Mr D. Kennedy, of Frankston, will regret to hear of the death of his brother, Corporal Robert Kennedy, which sad event took place at the Alfred Hospital on Sunday last from meningitis. The deceased was only 21 years of age, and expected to sail for the front shortly. *** WE have received a post-card from Gunner H. H. Allen, dated 28th January last, from Tel-el Kebir, in which he states he has met Private Covington, Driver Bert Roberts, Gunners Elliott, Broomhead and Reeves, all of whom were looking well, and he himself is in good health. *** A MEETING of ratepayers, governed by the Dandenong shire (Cr.Pearson), was held on Monday night to consider the proposal to re-subdivide the shire and form a fourth riding, as advocated by members of the South riding. A counter petition, favoring a re-subdivision of the whole shire, without increasing the number of ridings, was,

however, adopted. *** AT the last meeting of the Somerville Patriots’ League there was passed for payment £5 for the Lady Mayoress’s Condensed Milk Fund, the bulk of this sum being raised at the euchre tournament held by the League on 24th February. The total amount sent to the Lady Mayoress’s Milk Fund, for the Soldiers abroad, is now £15 altogether, from this branch. The ladies have sent quite a large consignment of shirts and socks to the Lady Mayoress, who is in charge of the shipping arrangements in Melbourne. *** THE appeal made by the secretary of the Frankston Club for residents to take up 30 debentures at £1 each to enable the Club to pay off the liability due on the billiard-table is meeting with a ready response, and already about 20 of them have been taken up, and Mr. Reynolds does not expect any difficulty in disposing of the remainder. About 95 per cent of the eligible members have enlisted and gone to the front, and by the adoption of the above scheme the table will be retained for their use on their return. *** AT a meeting of the Frankston School Board of Advice and parents, held in the schoolroom on Thursday evening, it was finally decided that a flower show be held on 3rd November next,

the proceeds to be devoted to patriotic purposes, A schedule for competition was submitted, and after being carefully considered was adopted, full particulars of which will be duly advertised. Most of the classes are for children, but there is also included an open class for those who care to compete. Instructions have been sent to all head teachers throughout the State to try and interest the children in their various schools in getting up an exhibition on the date named to assist wounded soldiers. It is also intended to hold an exhibition on a large scale in Melbourne on the same date. *** A RETURNED soldier by the Kenowna last week, named Private H. E. Hughes, who is residing at Wirth’s Rest Home, met with an accident on Sunday evening at the Mile Bridge, Frankston. It appears he was riding behind a motorcyclist, who also had a side-car attached, in which were his wife and child. When approaching the bridge a motor car was coming in the opposite direction, and in order to avoid it he had either to drive into deep sand or into the creek. In attempting this, the soldier was thrown from his seat and sustained concussion of the brain. The side-car capsized,the wife and child fortunately escaping without injury. The injured man was taken to Dr.Maxwell’s surgery, who examined him, and obtained the services of a

passing car to send him back to his home. *** ON Saturday 1st a complimentary social was tendered to Mr H. Downward by the Bittern and Emu Plains Racing Club, as a mark of the appreciation of the members for their secretary on the occasion of his approaching marriage. Under the capable handling of Mr H. Stacey, President, the forty odd members and guests present in the Bittern Hall, had a most convivial time. Songs recitations etc., were rendered and all went merry as the proverbial marriage bell, which was just as it should have been. Amongst others the star performers were Messrs F. Stacy, Pete Mulreahy, C. Van Cuylen, Boynon, J. Meeoan and Samble. Crs Davies, ex-president of Shire, Buckley, of Flinders, and a visiting Councillor from a neighbouring shire all made speeches of appreciation of Cr Downward and of his monumental work in the organization of the Race Club. Cr H. Downward suitably responded. During the evening a handsome and valuable case of cutlery etc, was presented to Mr Downward. Mr H Stacey, making the presentation with the aptest of remarks. Mr Lambie looked after the refreshments with studious care. *** From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 25 March, 1916

Rosebud Kite Festival flies high ANOTHER ‘cast of thousands’ turned up on Rosebud’s foreshore on Sunday 13th, to enjoy the spectacle of the annual Kite Festival, presented by the local Rosebud traders. The afternoon breeze picked up to see the full quota of maxi kites fill the sky, with professional kite flyers traveling from New Zealand, ACT and from across Victoria to display their skills and show their interesting kites. With local musicians entertaining from the stage, kids rides, face painters, stilt walkers, animal farm, reptile displays and a host of food stalls lined along the site, this family oriented festival saw smiling faces throughout the day. The Rosebud Chamber of Commerce thanks all their sponsors, in particular the financial support of the Mornington Peninsula Shire, Lamattina Fruit Growers and Bendigo Bank. Thousands of dollars was raised for local community groups on the day, including the Dromana Sea Scouts, Rosebud Scouts, Rosebud CFA, McCrae Lions, Boneo Cricket Club and the events’ nominated charity, One Voice.

Music  Arts  Food

KIM CHURCHILL AND THE BRITISH PUB GRUB By Billy Dixon MINT: I heard your track Single Spark on Triple J on the way into work this morning. How important was Triple J to your recent success? It’s aimed at a slightly younger demographic - is that who you were intentionally trying to target, or were you just seizing opportunities as they came along? KIM: To be honest I love most of what is played on Triple J. The more I travel the world, the more I realise how cool it is. Of course I’m stoked to be in amongst all that great music and was very happy that it made sense for the station and for me. I think it helped a lot in Australia... naturally. It was also inspiring for me to move into those kinds of festivals and play to larger audiences. It’s helped me push my music and push myself to make sure I cut it on those bills. M: You started playing to crowds when you were about 19 - was it intimidating playing in front of large crowds at such a young age? K: Haha, yeah! I was more like 16/17 when I really started gigging. I was always so nervous before shows! These days it’s become and bit more manageable, it’s still a huge rush though, every time! It’s wild for a job to consistently give you such a rush. I’m very lucky! M: I read that your old man bought you your first guitar when you were 4 - how on earth did you know what you wanted to do with your life from such a young age? K: I think I just always presumed that music is what I would do; I didn’t start thinking about things like “what I’d do with my life” until I was a lot older. By that time I had been playing for such a long time and really identified myself with music and guitar playing, so I just continued down that path really... M: You’ve got quite a following in Canada and have toured most of North America... and you’re in Germany now. Where do you call home these days, or do you take it with you on the road? K: Well for the last two weeks it’s been “the bottom bunk, third from the right.” Before that I had some time off and was hanging in Newcastle, NSW, before that I was recording in Toronto. Home is no more than a state of mind for me. A set of beliefs and knowledge that accompany me as everything else continue to whirl and spin in different directions. I’m

happy living in constant transition, it feels kinda homely in its own way. M: Given you’re very instrumental and acoustic, how do you feel about “deep house” and electronic remixes of your songs, like Window to the Sky? K: I love it! I mean the remixes that I have heard of Window to the Sky have been really interesting and some cool creative people have worked on them, for me it’s inspiring! I listen to a crazy amount of music across all genres; so I’m excited by anything that has been inspired by something of mine. M: Where did your inspiration for folksy music come from? Can I assume you own a

few Dylan albums? K: Haha yeah! Dylan hit me really hard. He was the first one to really introduce me to song writing as an art. More than anything though it was growing up on the Far South Coast and going to the Cobargo Folk Festival. That was my first festival experience and I went most years. I always wanted to be like those folk artists. These days I’ve moved into lots of different kinds of music but I’ve always had that soft spot for folk music. M: Finally, some pop-quiz stuff - which country has the best crowds? What about the best food?

K: Hmm... Best crowds… I will be biased and say Australia. Sure I’ve probably got sounder knowledge to draw from but we’re a good bunch and we make a great audience! If I can’t choose Australia, I’d say Quebec, Canada. Crazy bunch of very wonderful people there! Best food... I’m a sucker for English food. Bangers & Mash with minted peas in a huge Yorkshire pudding, drowned in gravy. I could eat it forever! So yeah, believe it or not I’m going for British pub grub!

Back-to-back for Panthers DISTRICT

By IT Gully PEARCEDALE won back-to-back premierships on Saturday after dominating the third and final day of the MPCA District grand final against Flinders. After beating Frankston YCW in the Sub District grand final last season, the Panthers had an almost faultless 2015-16 season and capped it off with the District flag. For the first time in the clubs’ history, Pearcedale will play in Provincial next season. The win brought down the curtain on the career of Shane Maggs, who played juniors with Pearcedale before playing higher grade cricket. He took the final wicket of the match, knocking out the stump of Flinders’ number 11 Matt Burns for a duck. He finished with 2/26 from 15.2 overs. Pearcedale went into the final day minus a bowler after Sam Frawley injured himself and failed to pass a fitness test. This left a lot of work to be done by Shayne Gillings, Kaine Smith, Chris Dew and Maggs. Without question, they were all keen to have the rock in their hands. Flinders resumed on 2/36, chasing Pearcedale’s 9/272 after Chris Dew hit and unbeaten 159 the week before. Dew also had both Flinders wickets at the start of the day. With an extremely slow scoring rate on an equally slow outfield, Flinders

Picture: Andrew Hurst

had their backs to the wall. The Sharks added just two runs in the opening seven overs of the day before there was a 56-minute rain delay. However, when play resumed at 1.43pm, it was all downhill for the Sharks at that point. Kaine Smith, who is always neat and tidy with ball in hand, picked up

the wicket of Mitch Stansborough (10) when a full toss was hit straight back to him. Tom Clements came to the crease with an intent to score, however, he edged a Gillings’ ball to second slip and left after scoring just five runs. At that stage, Flinders was in some real strife at 4/63.

Andy Power was looking strong at the other end for the Sharks and when Simon Parrott joined him at the crease, Flinders’ president Clint Munday claimed on radio RPP that this was the “key partnership� for his club and would go a long way in the team getting back into the match. However, Parrott (0) lasted less than

an over when he tried to smash a Smith full toss out of the park, only to hear the rattle of his leg stump. Flinders was gone at 5/66. When Power tried to whip a Gillings’ ball off his legs, edged and got caught behind down the leg side, Flinders was 6/70. The loss of Power brought Blake Hogan-Keogh to the crease with league legend Shane Beggs. Again, Munday told RPP listeners that he believed this was another ‘key partnership’ for his club. Munday was hoping more than anything and giving his team’s listeners some positive reinforcement. The reality was that the Panthers were all over the Sharks. The Sharks had scored almost less runs than it had faced overs and had four wickets in hand on a ground that was extremely difficult to get to the boundary. Flinders were gone. At tea Flinders was 6/74 off 66 overs. They needed 199 runs in 45 overs to win the game. After tea things didn’t get any better for Flinders. Hogan-Keogh was solid for 37 off 49 deliveries before he became Maggs’ first victim, Beggs made 12 before chopping one on off Gillings. Dwayne Field was run out for eight and Burns went for a duck. Within a blink of an eye, Flinders weres bowled out for 136. Gillings finished with 3/39 off 23 overs, Smith snared 2/23 off 19, Maggs took 2/26 and Chris Dew finished with 2/41 off 23 overs.

Buds are champions in 2016 By IT Gully ROSEBUD will play in MPCA District ranks next season after winning the Sub District premiership against Frankston YCW on Saturday. The Buds had to withstand a strong fightback from the Stonecats on the third and final day of the match to claim victory. It was one of the best of all time

in Rosebud star Jason Nagel who contributed most significantly to the win for Rosebud. While rumours circulated on radio RPP about Jason Nagel’s cricketing future, he was going about winning a flag for his beloved Rosebud Cricket Club. Nagel bowled an amazing 38 overs, had 15 maidens and finished with match winning figures of 6/60. He bowled in tandem mostly with

Sudoku and crossword solutions

his son at the other end, Patrick bowling 27 overs, while Brian Doughty took 1/32 from his 14 overs and Billy Quigley snared 2/17 off seven overs. Most attendees on Saturday were expecting to see four quick wickets and the premiership heading down the southern peninsula. Frankston YCW went into the third day trying not to lose two grand finals in as many seasons.

The Stonecats resumed at 6/66 with the evergreen Matty Lane at the crease with Matt Black. The couple completed the first task and that was to try and get their side to tea without loss. At tea, YCW was 6/100. Lane and Black got the score to 116 before Nagel had Black trapped leg before for 13. This brought skipper Andrew Kitson to the crease. It’s also when the game became very interesting.

Lane and Kitson took the score to 140 before Lane became Nagel’s fifth victim for 58. It was more hope than anything else at that point for the Stonecats. Rosebud took the new ball when YCW had reached 8/152. Craig Burch added six runs before he was given leg before off the bowling of Brian Doughty and Kitson (43) had hits stumps rattled by Nagel to hand the Buds the premiership.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA scoreboard

Easter footy to launch new season FOOTBALL By Toe Punt THE Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League season kicks-off this Easter weekend with five matches being played across two divisions. The match with the biggest hype will be played at the home of peninsula football, Frankston Park, when Frankston Bombers tackle Pearcedale on Good Friday. Fresh from winning ‘Celebrity get me out of here”, former Carlton and Brisbane Lion full forward Brendan Fevola will be lining up for the Bombers. Frankston Bombers have invested enormously into the Fevola appearance and drawing a big crowd. For the Bombers’ sake, let’s hope a big crowd get down to Frankston Park on Good Friday. Outside of Fevola, the Bombers have recruited extremely well in the off season. Ryan Marks-Logan, who played a number of games for the Bombers last season, has committed for the season, as has Dale Sutton, who is also a Frankston boy. Jarryd Amalfi has crossed from Langwarrin and will slot into a half back role, while Sam Fox and Ryan Kitchen are two big recruits for the Bombers. Kitchen is the ruckman the Bombers have been looking, especially with James Orr leaving the club. The Bombers have an outstanding draw in 2016 and should be expecting to play finals. Their opponent on Good Friday is Pearcedale. The Panthers have picked up Travis Bravo and Robbie Muir from Somerville, while Troy Jacobson and Alex Harnett return from Frankston Dolphins.

Basil Sibosado is the most significant loss for the Panthers, while Andrew Knight and Brendan Neville are also no longer at the club. The Panthers will be relying on another improved year from its youngsters, especially under the guidance of new assistant coach Chris Irving. Down the Peninsula, also on Good Friday, Rosebud will unfurl its flag against old foe Rye. There is a bit to prove from both sides this season. The Buds will be expected to back up from its premiership win last season and challenge again. Rye was the big disappointment last season and will be keen to avenge not playing finals. Rosebud has picked up former Seaford star Michael Kraska as coach, who has been playing bush footy for the past couple of seasons. He is yet to play a practice match and missed most of December-January through overseas travel. It’s not the ideal preparation. The Buds were banking on ‘Kras’ bringing a couple of recruits with him, however, none followed. The question for Rosebud is how do they cover their losses? The dominant forward of the competition last season in Tom Baker is at Casey, while fellow forward players in Lachy Armstrong (retired) and Cade Williams (Dromana) will not be in the front six either. Arguably two of the best five midfielders in the comp last season is Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest have left and the tough Paul McDonald has hung them up. Expect the Buds to miss the finals all together this season.

Rye needs to play finals. James Appleford returns from Frankston Dolphins. Matt Greig and Craig Christie come from the EFL, Steve Downes returns after stints at Dromana and in the EFL and there’s a handful of blokes they have picked up from South Mornington. Andrew Dean (Tooradin), Jye Lloyd (Casey) and Rhett Sutton are big outs, while Matt Goodman has also left. On Easter Saturday, Dromana will play host to Sorrento. The messiah of Dromana, Rikki Johnston, has returned to the Tigers as coach. The result of this great move by the Tigers has seen a number of recruits join the club, while others have returned. After a long battle with illness, Adam Hunter has been given the all clear from doctors, completed a full pre-season and will line up in this match and is ready for a big season. Aaron Hunter, Michael Gillis and Jay Hutchison have returned, Cade Williams is back from Rosebud, while Rory Gregg (ruckman from Chelsea), Beau Cosson (VCFL key forward from Ararat) and Mitch Gill-Furness (defender from Langwarrin) have signed with the club and will all be very good players. Braden Hyde has also signed with the club. Sorrento has had some mixed fortunes. New Sorrento coach and reigning premiership coach Nick Jewell was keeping things is perspective when it comes to the upcoming season. “We’ve lost some very good players and we’ve picked up some very good players. I think people focus sometimes on the signings and forget about those who you have lost,” Jewell said last year.

Those losses include four team of the year players in Jon Croad, Leigh Poholke, Daniel Grant and Troy Schwarze. These four players would walk straight into any club in Australia. Add the emerging Brodie Webb and Chris Morgan, along with key premiership forward Ryan Jeffrey and there’s a big hole. A key recruit was Rob Forrest from Rosebud, however, he requires a full knee reconstruction after injury in a practice match two weeks ago. On the up, however, is key forward Nick Corp, who is a gun, Doug Scott returns from Barwon, Scott Lockwood and Jack Egan cross from Mt Eliza, Dalton Sanderson is back from QLD, Daniel Hickey is back from Rosebud and Kayle Stringer-Morris returns. Somerville and Tyabb also go toe to toe on Easter Saturday. The Eagles’ big recruit is Ben Crowe, who will straighten them up. Michael Towan and Adam Rose also return to the Eagles – they are all one point players. More importantly, the Eagles haven’t lost anyone. They will start the season as flag favorites. Tyabb has done a load of work in the off season under new coach Mark Paganoni. Former skipper Ethan Rahilly has returned with brother Simon, Rowan McGrath has gone back, while they have picked up many players from around the traps. Justin Volk is the noticeable out, crossing to Devon Meadows. The Yabbies will be more competitive, no question. Peninsula League Bonbeach and Edithvale-Aspendale

will launch the MPNFL Peninsula Division season. Unfortunately, once again, all of the interest in this competition is who will finish second to 10th. Frankston YCW has been able to retain all of its list and the big talk is that Lachy Wallace and Anthony Barry will play early rounds for the Stonecats due to interrupted pre-seasons with Collingwood and Western Bulldogs VFL teams respectively. The Stonecats were head and shoulders above everyone else last season and will be again. Bonbeach lost a lot of players between the 2014 and 2015 seasons but many have returned – none bigger than Shane McDonald, who will make an enormous difference. Robbie Lancaster and Michael Turville return while Ash Waterstone comes across to play with his brother from Dromana. Nathan Robinson is the notable out for the Sharks. Edithvale, who took part in finals last season, will slide in a big way. The outs are horrific – Adam Budge, Matthew Clark, Jordy Derbyshire, Jarrod Garth, Tim Mavric, Brett O’Hanlon, Brad Tagg and youngsters Darcy Holden and Brody Lawford – that’s half of your starting 18 and the majority with star quality. Giant ruckman Chris Wylie comes on board from Wonthaggi, Brendan Neville crosses from Pearcedale, Jeremy Heys and Andrew Luxa return from East Brighton, Joel Sullivan crosses from Dolphins, Brad Langenberg from Chelsea and Elliott Macquire from Old Mentonians.

SALE EASTER

True blue Good Guys THE Good Guys Mornington is pledging an unwavering commitment to the residents in its local community. When the first Good Guys store opened in 1952, the company’s philosophy was to delight customers and ‘do good’. Now 100 stores strong, this proudly Australian household retail brand continues its efforts to give back to the communities in which it operates. Mornington’s local Good Guy, Tony Coco, feels as if his store has become an integral part of the local community and has truly made a difference through its efforts to give back. “We have a great deal of pride in being a business that is 100% Australian and with Australia Day just around the corner we are reminded of how important it is to come together as a community and support each other,” said Tony. “We have customers who have been shopping with us for years, and like their commitment to us, we pledge ourselves, both physically and financially, to support-

ing our community and the people in the area, wherever and however we can,” Tony continued. As Australia’s favourite electrical retailer, Tony says that his store, and its team members, always strive to ‘do good’ and make a difference in the way they do business. “Doing Good at The Good Guys Morning means using our resources to promote healthy eating, enhance the wellbeing of children, restore respect to Australia’s most vulnerable and support our local community through cash and in-kind donations, sponsorships and volunteerism,” said Tony. “We begin every day knowing we can make a difference and have an unwavering commitment to use our strengths to do good. For us, it’s more than just a matter of corporate responsibility. It is in our DNA and an integral part of being a Good Guy. “We are inspired by our local community, its comradery and passion, and we are very proud to be a part of it,” continued Tony.
