Winged Wonders in the Skies

over Rosebud!

Now in it’s eleventh year, the special atmosphere generated on the foreshore at Rosebud over the Labour Day weekend will be boosted by a spectacular, world first, aero display. Spectators will be delighted with the new trio of maxi kites which will be flown on Sunday 8th March, which is the main festival day. Star of the show will be Toothless, the black dragon, most frequently seen on the big screen, animated in 3D in ‘How to Train a Dragon’. This kite has recently been involved in hair raising, promotional stunts across the world, including the technically complicated, but successful spectacle of him flying under London Bridge on the Thames.

This once-in-a-lifetime flight, as you can imagine, involved many complicated approvals and logistical issues. Similar stunts planned for San Francisco were

foiled by American red tape but there are no such issues at Rosebud, when Toothless will be unrestricted in his aero adventures!

Joining him will be Puff, the red dragon and graceful Pegasus, a white winged horse. This will be the first time these three flying beasts have featured in the one arena and will be a treat for the Rosebud spectators.

Undoubtedly there’s something very special about the Rosebud Kite Festival.

Offering a free program of quality kiteinspired entertainment, it has become a quirky celebration of Aussie coastal life. With its iconic location on the Rosebud beach, festival goers will look to both the skyline and shoreline for an impressive array of beautiful kites and fun, family activities.

All ages event This ‘all ages’ event has grown to include a host of kids workshops, kite craft, carnival rides, food stalls, kite surfing displays, ‘come and try’ stand up paddle boarding as well as a full program of live entertainment. The Dreaming Space yellow, circus tent will be back with a program of comedy shows and skills workshops plus, for the brave at heart, Blacksnake Productions with their wildlife and reptile marquee for some ‘touch and feel’ sessions.

There are plenty of food stalls throughout the site, but bring a rug, or folding chair and be prepared to stay a few hours, as you won’t be able to tear yourself away from all the activity!

Reward bid to find attack dog A MAN whose dog was badly mauled on the beach at Camerons Bight in Sorrento is offering a reward for the identity of the attacking dog’s owner.

Mauro Molent of Blairgowrie was walking his border collie Sandy in an off-leash area about 8pm on Friday 6 February when a boxer–mastiff cross ran up and without warning launched an attack. Sandy received serious cuts and lacerations, which later resulted in a $900 vet’s bill. “It all happened so fast,� Mr Molent said. “The dog was obviously used to fighting.�

The woman, who was with a female companion, came up to apologise while Mr Molent took Sandy into the water to wash her wounds. She then walked to the car park to – as Mr Molent thought – put her dog in the car and return to check on Sandy. Instead, she hopped in and drove off with the dog in the front seat.

Mr Molent quickly wrote down what he thought was the car’s registration number and reported it to Mornington Peninsula Shire, but the details were incorrect. “The council officer was very helpful and very concerned at the severity of the attack after she saw photos of Sandy’s injuries,� he said.

Resort awaits new shire report Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire hired prominent dispute resolution facilitator Bruce Turner to run a three-hour mediation session with shire planners, RACV Cape Schanck Resort people, and objectors last week.

It was the first major meeting of all

parties following increased opposition to the RACV’s proposed $135 million, five-storey, 30-metre high conference complex at its resort off Boneo Rd (“Opposition mounts to RACV resort plan�, The News, 3/2/15).

Mr Turner is hired by the shire and other statutory authorities to run public meetings about controversial planning issues and was last “keeping the

peace� during the nine-month fuss in 2013 over plans to dump rubbish in the old Pioneer quarry at Dromana, which was eventually rejected by the state government.

The resort started life as Cape Country Club, first approved in 1985 by the Shire of Flinders, and was bought by the RACV in December 2005.

Reward to track dog

Woman airlifted after crash

Continued from Page 1 Mr Molent said the drama was doubly unwelcome: his partner is recovering from treatment for leukaemia.

Walking the dog is a way of taking his mind off things.

“As a result of trying to do the right thing and walking my dog on a lead at a nominated dog beach, my border collie was savagely attacked by a dog off-leash,” he said.

“I thought I was doing the right thing by not walking my dog at Koonya back beach – a hooded plover nesting area – which is much closer to my home.”

Dogs being walked off-leash must still be under the control of their owners.

“That dog should have been on a lead as the owner obviously did not have control of it.”

Mr Molent has put up $300 reward notices at Camerons Bight, Koonya back beach and Sullivan Bay describing the woman and dog responsible for the attack and seeking her identity.

“I am hoping someone may have seen something. It’s more of a public safety issue.”

The shire’s environment protection and community safety manager Claire Smith confirmed the shire had received a report of a dog attack near Sorrento jetty and had investigated the matter.

She said anyone with information could call the shire on 1300 850 600 or email customerservice@mornpen. vic.gov.au Stephen Taylor

A WOMAN, believed to be in her 30s, is in a critical condition after her car and a truck collided head-on in Point Nepean Rd, near Foote St, Dromana, just before 11am on Tuesday. She was cut free from the wreckage and airlifted to The Alfred hospital. The truck driver was not injured.

Big blue bus spreads word on mental health AS part of its 50,000km national roadshow promoting good mental health, beyondblue’s big blue bus is about to visit Rosebud.

CEO Georgie Harman is inviting people to attend to chat to beyondblue staff in an informal environment, pick up free information about depression and anxiety, find out about local support services, and make a mental health pledge – a written commitment or goal to achieve or maintain good mental health.

“One in six Australians – more than three million people – are currently experiencing anxiety or depression or both,” she said. “Given that over half of all people with these conditions don’t seek help, we need everyone to recognise the symptoms and to realise there is no shame in getting help and it is

important to seek help early.

“We’ve been working with the FrankstonMornington Peninsula Medicare Local to plan events and I urge people to drop by the big blue bus when it’s in their area and tune in to how they’re feeling, opening up and talking through their worries with those around them, and taking action if needed,” Ms Harman said.

The big blue bus and circus school are coming to Rosebud Secondary College, 245 Eastbourne Rd, 9am-1pm, Thursday 5 March. Students will learn about good mental health and details of the check-in app - a free mobile app offering advice for anyone who wants to check in with a friend and the Brave online program to prevent and treat anxiety in young people. A circus skills trainer will

take students through a variety of fun activities, such as juggling, acrobatics and plate spinning.

The bus will be at Rosebud Seawinds Community Hub, 11A Allambi Avenue, Rosebud West, 5-7.30pm, Thursday 5 March for a free trivia night.

The bus will visit the Rosebud Kite Festival, Jetty Rd, 11am-5pm, Sunday 8 March. Drop by the bus to pick up free beyondblue information and make a mental health pledge.

The bus will visit Red Hill community market on Arthur’s Seat Rd, 8am-2pm, Saturday 7 March.

Visitors can buy fresh, local and handmade produce and crafts, and pick up beyondblue’s free depression and anxiety information, chat to the team and make a mental health pledge.

Bus beats blues: The beyondblue big blue bus will visit Rosebud and Red Hill as part of a nationwide tour.

RACV resort plans on hold Continued from Page 1 He said that at the mediation session in the shire offices at Mornington, attended by more than 45 “stakeholders”, objectors asked for photos to be taken from all neighbouring properties and the five-storey building overlaid to show how it would look when built.

“All of the photos we’ve seen have been taken from a low angle that shows it in the best light,” he said.

Objectors have dubbed the building “Ayers Rock” and “the mothership”.

Mr A’Bell said it was revealed that rooms would have balconies and sliding doors, sparking concerns about noise and light emission late at night.

He said about 30-40 houses would have a direct view of the resort. It would also be visible

from Boneo Rd, “several holes on the National Golf Course”, Gunnamatta Beach and Bass Strait.

Objectors have queried the haste with which the resort was approved by the shire council and the state government, which gave its OK just before entering caretaker mode before last November’s state election.

Other questions asked included “was this the largest building ever approved on the peninsula”; “why are noise barriers being installed on the roof”; “will delivery of goods be restricted”; and “why have no shire councillors responded to various invitations, emails and calls made by residents”.

Mr Turner will now submit a report to the shire. Nothing will happen until after it has been considered.

Ground control: Neighbours of the proposed 30-metre high RACV Cape Schanck resort have dubbed it “the mothership”. This artist’s impression shows the view of the resort’s 30-metre high building from one of 200 homes in the precinct. It blocks the owner’s view of Bass Strait.

Shire rents puts men’s sheds in peril, says councillor David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au TWO Western Port men’s sheds would “go to the wall” if the shire could not waive the $520 annual rent for the premises they used, Cerberus councillor David Garnock told last week’s council meeting.

“I’ve had some feedback from two men’s sheds that they will go under if they have to pay the increased fees,” he said.

“Noting the important role that men’s sheds play in maintaining men’s health on the Mornington Peninsula, can [staff] please confirm that the new lease fee and other insurance and operational expenses listed in [a report to councillors] are not designed to send any men’s shed to the wall?”

In emotional advocacy, Cr Garnock

named the two groups as the Hastings Men’s Shed and the Peninsula North Men’s Shed, arguing that the $520 rent came on top of other costs, including a $30 annual membership fee at Hastings, plus insurance and operating costs.

“The sad fact is that there are some men’s sheds that are very very incomepoor and that’s due to the location [in the Western Port area],” he said.

“We’re talking about five hundred bucks that could actually send a men’s shed to the wall. These organisations do magnificent work in the community ... they’re down on their knees and [have] very small membership and just can’t cope with the extra $520.”

The waiver of rent for kindergartens should be extended to the men’s sheds, he said.

Several councillors disagreed. Lynn Bowden (Watson ward) said she sup-

ported men’s sheds but all comparable organisations across the Mornington Peninsula “pay a very low rent”. A few had had difficulty and council has helped them – “We’re not heartless about it.”

But councillors could not set a precedent, she said: $520 was “not a lot if you have 30 members”. (The sum per week per member is less than 35 cents.)

Property manager Yasmin Woods told councillors that organisations occasionally struggled financially. Shire staff worked with them “to see if there’s anything we can do to to help them be a bit more proactive in fund raising or find grants or other funding opportunities”.

“That’s a constant role that we have.

We don’t just send them out an invoice once a year and that’s the only time they hear from us,” she said.

Cr Antonella Celi (Seawinds ward), saying she was in favour of men’s sheds, argued that “this is about access and equity”.

A “plethora of groups” across the peninsula were “doing it tough. To have this [waiver] just for men’s sheds in inequitable, it’s not fair and it’s not socially just”.

“I’ve got women’s welfare associations out there who get no help, no reprieve whatsoever, and they still meet their commitments,” she said. “They don’t go to the wall – they find a way to succeed because that’s what the people of the community sharing goodwill do. They make things succeed, they become creative.

“I can’t support this [proposal] just for a men’s shed and it’s on the point of ... access and equity.” A group in Rosebud was not “whingeing” about paying

the $520 rent.

Councillors voted to issue five-year leases to the Mornington Men’s Shed, Somerville and Tyabb Men’s Shed and Western Port Men’s Shed.

Discussion of help to struggling groups will be part of the budget discussions now under way.

The Safety Beach-Dromana Men’s Shed proposal to move to a new building at the Dromana Recreation Reserve was also approved, with standard conditions – “peppercorn” annual rental of $520 plus “all outgoings including building insurance, Fire Services Levy and service costs and charges”.

The group was housed at the Bon Bosco camp at Safety Beach. The Salesian order has been running a children’s holiday camp at the site since 1944. Last September it issued the group with a notice to vacate.

Greens MP backs anti-gondola group Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au GREENS upper house MP Sue Pennicuik has gone in to bat for anti-gondola chairlift lobby group Save Our Seat.

In Parliament last week, Ms Pennicuik called on state environment minister Lisa Neville “not to sign the lease for the [Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift] project without further consideration of its merits and the extreme bushfire risks, including issues of potential liability for the government”.

The MP asked Ms Neville to “meet with Save Our Seat representatives at her earliest convenience; ... consult with Minister for Emergency Services, the Essential Services Commission and the Country Fire Authority about bushfire risks; and ... consult with the local community about the amenity impacts of the project and the risk to life from bushfire”.

Ms Pennicuik said SOS was “seeking a smaller-scale, more sympathetic design” from Arthurs Seat Skylift as well as “more reasonable operating hours”.

Skylift head Simon McKeon said the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal had backed the proposal late last year after an eight-day hearing. “It

Sue Pennicuik

Simon McKeon

concluded every issue had been thoroughly canvassed as it affected the shire council decision [of mid-2014],” he said.

Ms Pennicuik appeared to have “never bothered to engage with anyone other than SOS ... so she has got this rather warped view of the project”.

“I have supported the Greens on many occasions and they’ve been doing a very important job nationally supporting CSIRO during a very tough year or two,” he said. (Mr McKeon is chairman of CSIRO, which has had its budget cut by the Abbott government.)

He defended Skylift’s plan to build the top tower on the summit of Arthurs Seat.

He said SOS had not agreed with Park Victoria’s decision to have the top station on the flatter, cleared area at the top. “But as far as the environment is concerned, this means the clearing that would be required is a fraction of what would be required if SOS got their way and relocated our top station on to the northern side of the road.

“The bushfire regulations nowadays require very substantial clearing where there is a significant slope. And on top of that, our top station would be visible to many who look up at the mountain from Dromana, Safety Beach, etc. Our top station will be essentially hidden.”

Mr McKeon said the Greens MP

“hasn’t said a word about the elderly, those with a disability and the many young families who were unable to get their kids on the old lift. Parks Victoria was strongly motivated to make accessibility a feature of the lift. It meant the cost of establishing it was much greater and probably meant that many rival operators were turned off because it was not going to be an easy way to make a return. We’re motivated by a lot of things other than profit.”

Ms Pennicuik told the Parliament the project “relies on significant work – car parking, toilets and defendable space clearing – being carried out by Parks Victoria outside the Skylift lease area, which will have adverse impacts on native vegetation and landscapes”.

“VCAT decided that it did not have the jurisdiction to look at these works.

The tribunal was therefore unable to carry out a full assessment of the actual impacts of this proposal,” she said.

“Apart from one short meeting with SOS, Parks Victoria has not conducted any consultations, discussions, information sessions or similar to respond to concerns raised by the local community or the wider Victorian community.”

VCAT had “confirmed that no feasibility study, no market research, no

benefit-cost analysis or return-on-investment analysis has been conducted

by Parks Victoria”.

Ms Pennicuik said it was “unclear from the VCAT decision whether the bushfire emergency plan will need to be signed off by fire authorities before building commences or before use commences. This document is critical and should be finalised before any work begins”.

Mr McKeon said the gondola lift had wide support on the southern peninsula. “This isn’t McDonalds in Tecoma.”

Lisa Neville said the gondola lift was a development “that has been underway for many years”.

“Although there are some concerns raised by community members, it does have broad community support,” she said.

“VCAT has already determined that this project will proceed. I have strongly encouraged the developer to try and address the local community’s concerns.”  Save Our Seat’s “Gondola information night” is at 7-9pm Wednesday 4 March, Red Hill Recreation Reserve pavilion, Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill.

Author leads young readers on journey of mind Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au

his first book, The Otherworldly Operatives 1 – Flames from the North, which is aimed at people aged 10 to 60. Two others are in the pipeline.

In the thriller, the Operatives have a new recruit: Calan Taylor, a 13-yearold budding basketball champion, of

Middington. Norton takes up the tale: “The Igniters – dark warlocks of the Severed Plane – also have their own Middington recruit – Steven Sabre, the damaged loner. The Igniters should have sensed Calan first – as he is a “pure” Igniter, only the third-ever of

his kind. A mistake has been made and the balance must be restored. Standing in their way are the Operatives.

A 14th corridor to another world has opened and the town of Middington is under secret attack from the warlocks and witches of the Severed Plane. The Operatives, a crack team of agents from all over Earth, have been formed to defend the Wystics of the Western Quarter against the immortal evils of the north, south and east.

Using the Severed Plane’s magical corridors, the Operatives travel to countries all over the world in a bid to save as much of humankind as is possible from the dark Quarter’s possessing and kidnapping ways ... and catching the immortal is a hard thing to do! Taylor is about to become the Operatives’ most valuable weapon.”

His second and third books, Southern Vexations and White Eyed Children of the Working East, are available on Kindle but not yet published in print form.

A former songwriter, Norton says he “always knew I could write” and

found books a creative outlet. “I must be pretty immature but I just love horror,” he quipped.

“I began in 2009 and it took me three years to set up my characters and another year and a half to bed them down.

“The first book had three drafts, the second a couple of drafts but the third has been easier.” There will be five in the series.

He credited the genre’s flagbearer Harry Potter and its various themes as a constant inspiration – and not just to him. “We would all love to be as successful as J K Rowling,” he said, referring also to popular Irish author Derek Landy, creator of the Skulduggery Pleasant series of children’s books.

Capturing his young readers’ attention is a constant challenge.

“You’ve got to keep upping the ante with nastier scenes,” he said. “You can’t rest on your laurels.”

“KIDS love to be scared and to go on a journey,” says Scott Norton, whose latest young adult horror fantasy is hitting bookshop shelves in Mornington, Hastings and Rosebud.

“But you’ve got to make it palatable.”

The Mornington author uses his home town as a backdrop to his sci-fi thrillers: the fictional town of Middington is a combination of Mornington, Dromana and Phillip Island. Arthur St in Middington is really Main St. The print production planner says he is constantly thinking in the mindset of his characters – “completely losing yourself in the world you’ve created” – and loves “its absolute escapism”.

So eager is Norton to capture every moment that he taps on his laptop at lunchtime and later at home, typing about 800-900 words a day.

The results are pleasing. Readers have shown strong an interest in

Zephyrs signal approaching change David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au Community meeting, Monday, 23 February. Venue: Sorrento Sailing Couta Boat Club. An outstanding chocolate cake was served (with real cream) following the usual very healthy repast in honour of Cr Tim Rodgers’ birthday. Cr Rodgers took home the edible “Happy Birthday” message that had adorned the cake. No candles were seen – but surely few more than two score would have been needed.

CHANGE is upon us apace across the shire, in small ways and large, with (so Council Watch believes) a couple of humdingers on the way. New shire CEO Carl Cowie’s review of the shire was due to go to councillors the following day, Tuesday, 24 February. Hang on to your hats.

A small change came at the start of last Monday’s meeting which, as is usual, began with the “acknowledgement of traditional land owners. CW, unsure whether “ownership” as we know it was a concept known to the Kulin nation, suddenly tuned in as Cr Hugh Fraser read the acknowledgement.

Its traditional wording is: “In the spirit of respect, the Mornington Peninsula Shire acknowledges the Boon wurrung/Bunurong, members of the Kulin nation, who have traditional connections for the land on which Council meets.”

But tonight, CW heard the following: “We acknowledge the elders, families and forebears of the Boon wurrung/ Bunurong tribe, the Kulin, who were the custodians of this land for many centuries. We acknowledge that the land on which we meet was the place

9L[YHJ[HISL YVVÂUN at its best!

Let there be light!

of age-old ceremonies, of celebrations, initiation and renewal and that the Kulin peoples’ living culture had, and has, a unique role in the life of this region.”

Did this radical change evoke shrieks of shock, fainting away, howls of protest, from councillors or the gallery?

Certainly not. Because suddenly, unexpectedly, the rather dusty acknowledgement was alive, human and, CW dares to say, poetic.

One visualised families tens of thousands of years ago preparing a seafood feast on the beach below the yacht club, children laughing, splashing in the shallows as the babies were fed first while mothers chatted. Much as families behave now at the seaside, except the food is faster.

Perhaps not such a small change.

Gales start as zephyrs.

Mr Cowie introduced his monthly report to the community by inviting the gallery to take part in an “interactive” few minutes. His message: the benefit of attending council is to get your message across, “to make sure we hear what you’re saying”.

Then, the review of shire operations – containing “the benefit of my fresh eyes – not [on] the operation of the councillors themselves; that would be a bit risky at this stage, but I’m sure that will come over time … maybe not”. Was that nervous laughter CW heard from officers and councillors?

Then, the interactivity. From the gallery, Mornington stalwart Fred Crump wanted to know what was afoot to make

his area look “a million dollars” – “new footpaths and the rest of it”. Mr Cowie said he’d had some interesting conversations with Mr Crump, but this night had no specific answers for him, hinting the budget might contain news for Mornington.

Cr Graham Pittock asked if test holes could be drilled at the Besgrove St shire office and at Truemans Rd to see if hot groundwater lay beneath. This, presumably, could be used for heating at the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre were it to be built nearby, and perhaps to heat the shire buildings, in pursuit of the shire’s new carbonneutral policy.

Infrastructure boss Alison Leighton answered by saying the shire had talked to geothermal operators and universities. What was needed was a specific use and a specific site where underground hot water would be used.

Cr Pittock, dissatisfied at this, urged action on starting a geothermal test program.

Stand by for an increasing flow of hot information on geothermal water and its role in making our area carbon neutral. CW understands a quarter of the shire’s gas bill goes to heating the Pelican Park pool at Hastings. And the big question: is there hot water under your house or business? Quite possibly.

Cr Tim Rodgers moved for the vote on Mr Cowie’s report to the community, congratulating him on recent improvements made to the document.

It now had a table of contents and listed people responsible for the information it contained. “Something new and I welcome it,” he said.

Then, men’s sheds, too big a topic to cover here in a paragraph or two. You will find it elsewhere in these pages.

Road reserve ‘terrible precedent’ Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au MAIN Ridge residents are battling to stop a road being bulldozed through a conservation reserve to provide access to a “landlocked” private property behind the reserve.

They say Mornington Peninsula Shire and Parks Victoria allowing an access road through Main Ridge Nature Conservation Reserve would set a terrible precedent for all parks and reserves in Victoria.

The 64-hectare (158-acre) conservation reserve on Mornington-Flinders Rd is managed by Parks Victoria but has a shire road – Barkers Rd – on the reserve’s southwestern edge that leads to a gated bush track.

In December, the council voted to “discontinue” 130 metres of Barkers Rd after considering a report from two members of the shire’s Traffic and Road Safety department.

It appears the closing of the road is a trade-off for allowing the owner of 2 Barkers Rd – Antoinette Noronho – to push an access road through the reserve to her 16-hectare (40-acre) property, which she bought for $425,000 in January 2013 at a mortgagee’s sale.

The property had been bought by Peter Quinn in 2007 for $975,000 but he failed to win approval for an access road.

The shire maintains about 330 metres of the road up to the gate. Four property owners use Barkers Rd and there is an entrance to the reserve.

A track extends beyond the gate for about 400 metres. Beyond the track is 150 metres of road reserve inaccessi-

Landlocked: Main Ridge residents are opposing plans for a private property access road through a conservation reserve.

ble to vehicles due to dense bush, steep land and Manton Creek South, which runs across the road reserve.

In a report to the council, Elliott Reid and Nicola Belcher stated the new road would use 2900 square metres of the reserve and have a cleared width of 20 metres.

“Access to the property at 2 Bark-

ers Road, Flinders, via the Barkers Road reserve, is currently not possible.

Constructing an access through the existing road reserve would not only be difficult, but would also have significant ecological impact both on the Manton Creek South waterway and the sensitive vegetation in the area.

The development of this option is also

considered to be cost prohibitive,” they stated.

The closed section of Barkers Rd has an area of about 5763 square metres.

“Once discontinued, it is proposed that this section of road reserve be zoned Public Conservation and Resource Zone and amalgamated” with the adjoining reserve, the report stated. This would be native vegetation offset, “replacement” land for the new road.

About 10 property owners and other interested parties have objected to the road closure and proposed new road through the bush that could remove up to 100 mature trees. Their objections have triggered a consultation process likely to occur in April.

One Barkers Rd resident said the reserve was home to swamp wallabies, echidnas, antechinus (a small marsupial) as well as 60 species of birds.

At least two migratory species, rufus whistler and rufus fantail, nest in the reserve.

Another resident, Terence McMahon, said residents were against any road through the reserve. “The property was bought in the knowledge that it was landlocked. This road will entail significant clearing of mature trees (with loss of bird habitat and breeding trees), native grasses, endangered and rare Australian orchids, and other vegetation.”

The News understands a contractor working for Ms Noronho allegedly cleared about a third of the 16-hectare property in January. The shire’s environment protection manager Claire Smith said the shire was investigating the matter.

Sunday stand-off A 58-YEAR-old man is in hospital with a gunshot wound after an incident at Safety Beach on Sunday evening 22 February.

Police were called to a Victoria Crescent house just before 6pm following reports of a man threatening self-harm. Specialist units attended and negotiated with the man over several hours. During this time the man left the house armed with a gun. Police said he refused to put it down after being asked to do so. As the man approached officers, several shots were fired. Police said the man was hit in the chest when the gun he was holding discharged. His injuries are not considered life threatening.

Professional Standards Command is investigating the incident.

Assault in Rye AT about 1.45am on Sunday 22 February, a 33-year-old man walking by himself along Point Nepean Rd, Rye, near the post office, was attacked by a group of up to five men. He was allegedly punched in the face before he retaliated and then attempted to run away. The victim was brought to the ground and again punched and kicked. He suffered a suspected fractured jaw and was treated by ambulance officers. Police are seeking any information from members of the public.

Rosebud graffiti POLICE are searching for vandals who left a trail of graffiti through the Rosebud area. Paint was scrawled on buildings, signs, fences and more than 20 businesses, including a Tootgarook pharmacy. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

LETTERS Race to the bottom I refer to the article “MPs trade blame over child detentions” (The News 24/2/15). Apart from the fact that our politicians are indulging in a despicable action by politicising the plight of people who cannot defend themselves, and who have tried to come to this country in the hope of a better life than what they could possibly hope for in their own strife-torn countries, the figures that [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt is reported to have quoted are wrong.

A Fact Check article published by the ABC shows Mr Hunt was incorrect about the number of children held in detention. According to the article, “Data provided to the commission by the immigration department shows the number of children in detention for over three months more than doubled in the first months after the Coalition took office. In January 2014 it was the highest it had been in five years. Immigration department data shows that the overall number of people in long-term detention, which can be extrapolated to children, continued to increase during 2014, and only declined in late 2014”.

It now seems obvious that the reason the Human Rights Commissioner [Gillian Triggs] was attacked was that the Abbott government did not want the truth to come out, that it was responsible for the large number of captive children.

I believe that Mr Hunt, in laying the blame for deaths at sea, is again inaccurate. According to the Monash University database, during the sixyear term of the Labor government there were 1159 asylum seeker deaths, including 18 while in custody. Mr Hunt failed to mention that during the former Liberal government under John Howard there were 766 asylum seeker deaths, including 353 aboard the infamous SIEV X. Mr Hunt also fails to mention that under the Abbott government there have been 39 asylum seeker deaths, including five while in custody.

Of these, three were suicides with one person self-immolating and two dying from injuries sustained in the offshore camps. Hardly a one-sided blame game.

Unfortunately, both sides of politics are in a race to the bottom in using asylum seekers as

hostages in a political debate. The current debate is morally reprehensible but also economically unsustainable.

Ken Dyer, Rosebud West

Wrong response Like most comfortable Mornington citizens, I have never been to Nauru, nor have I had coffee with any of the asylum seekers still there; I certainly haven’t tried to relate to one of the about 200 mentally traumatised children, currently “buried” in that godforsaken island of old phosphate mine pits and sun-baked desolation.

So I have to rely on the apolitical report of the Human Rights Commissioner,the very brave Prof Gillian Triggs to bring to me and my government the appalling and inhumane conditions of these youngsters.

[Prime Minister Tony] Abbott claims everything is being done to release them as quickly as possible.

But in the meantime my government, including my two local MPs [Bruce Billson, Dunkley, and Greg Hunt, Flinders] whom I actually respect, spend time attacking Prof Triggs’ credibility as “blatantly partisan”, “political” and therefore “shameful” in a report they withheld for five months before release.

What an extraordinary way of responding to this catastrophe; a way of blame rather than compassionate response.

Local church leaders and I have tried for nearly six months to respectfully engage in non-violent protest, dialogue and newspaper articles. We have even gifted our pollies “moral compasses” from a local toy shop.

Perhaps we should go together to see Selma the current human rights film to be reassured that we too shall overcome. But can the kids afford to wait?

order etiquettes only to crash land and injure many in the wake of their fall.

There is really nothing very liberating or enlightening about “laissez-faire sex” which lacks not only true and good but beautiful relationship.

The decision to give up sex should truly come from within. Spirituality and sexuality are different things and marriage or sex is no bar to enlightenment. There is no reason why a man can’t love God and a woman at the same time.

Sexual desire does not disappear miraculously. It is necessary to accept fully the existence of such desire and if so desired, transcend it through the exercise of reason and transformation.

The choice to give up desire should be made from joy, not from suffering; the sensual giving birth to the spiritual thus breaking through presumptions and defences.

But very few manage that, and for many it is unwise to attempt to forgo sexuality before they are ready.

This is most probably the reason that so many yogic monks (swamis) and clergies fail and later have to struggle with their consciousness and failure of broken premature vows.

It is pure and simple physical desire when a swami exploits sexual desires under the name of “tantra yoga” announcing that sex can be a path to enlightenment. This is a flexible interpretation of either ignorance or shameless manipulation in opposition of the title “gu” (dispeller) “ru” (ignorance).

A lot has been lost in translation.

Tantra yoga per se is scientific, laced with occultism and leading to the path of self-realisation. Tantric practitioners should be endowed with purity, faith, devotion, dispassion, humility, courage, cosmic love, truthfulness, non-covetousness and contentment.

Absence of these qualities means a gross abuse of shaktism/tantra practices.

Expressions of tantra yoga can be a travesty of the original practices: the theory of the five makaras - madya or wine, mamsa or flesh, matsya or fish, mudra or symbolical acts and maithuna or coitus.

The esoteric meaning of these five makras is “kill egoism”, “control flesh”, “drink the wine of god-intoxication” and “union with the supreme”.

Arjuna Schulenburg, Mornington

No loss of care It was with disappointment that I read the recent article “Fears over nurse cuts” with remarks from a “rival in-home-care company” regarding RDNS (Royal District Nursing Service) “putting technology ahead of patient care”, face-to-face interaction being “drastically reduced” and forgetting “about those they are servicing”. These accusations are illinformed and totally untrue.

RDNS has recently personally communicated to all of our clients that we have begun a program of change – one which will improve operations and enhance client care, but which will regrettably mean the loss of some management and administrative roles.

What must be stressed emphatically is that there are no cuts to front line nurses and absolutely no negative impact on our cherished clients.

The program will increase support to nurses - not reduce it - and improve client care. RDNS nurses will spend less time doing non-nursing tasks and be able to focus more on their clients – face-to-face. Technology is not replacing staff – it is helping them to do their work better.

And closing physical RDNS buildings does not translate to reducing

25%

nursing staff. Nurses will have greater freedom to concentrate on providing quality, personalised care to people at home.

Stephen Muggleton, CEO RDNS

Need track back Who is responsible for the maintenance and safety of the Rye section of the Bay Trail and Mornington Peninsula Walk from Rye Yacht Club to near Rye lime kiln? The trail starts out fine from Rye Yacht Club to near the Rye sea scouts hall, but then it deteriorates markedly with various sections being nothing more than a goat track covered in sand. This makes it unusable for wheelchairs, bikes, scooters and pushers. In fact, anyone unsteady on their feet.

I'm 194cm tall and am forever dodging around or under vegetation that protrudes onto this track.

The track started out by being more than two metres wide and now, in some parts (due to lack of maintenance), it is not much more than 60cm wide.

If finance is a problem may I suggest revenue could be collected from camping fees, the annual carnival, boat ramp or car parking.

Anyone who would like to see something done should contact our two Nepean Ward councillors Tim Rodgers (Rodgers@mornpen.vic.gov. au) and Hugh Fraser (Hugh.Fraser@ mornpen.vic.gov.au) so that it can be restored to a user friendly track.

Solution needed I’d like to respond on behalf of BirdLife Australia to recent articles and letters regarding banning dogs from the Mornington Peninsula National Park. The challenge for us is to sim-

for three times as long when there are off leash dogs on the beach.

These findings are based on years of research that has followed strict scientific protocols.

There is no denial that these birds aren’t up against a range of threat sources and our conservation efforts tackle each of these. However, the threats that have been revealed to have the most influence on breeding success are dogs off lead and secondly, beach users in general. We can successfully manage these threats, but not without education, individual behavioural change and acceptance of a problem.

The peninsula represents one of two of the most important habitat areas for the species. This has been published in multiple sources and will soon appear on the federal government’s threatened species advice.

We shouldn’t be arguing this fact.

Low compliance is something we want to resolve; conservationists, scientists, beach users, responsible dog walkers and park managers all agree.

How do we do this? We have some choices, a ban is just one. We are obliged legally to protect this species and tens of thousands of Australians have recognised how wonderful these birds are. We can work together to achieve this.

I would like to meet dog owners, as researching on the internet is nowhere near as good as talking to the experts.

A ban cannot occur in the national park until there are changes to dog access on the peninsula.

The Friends of the Hooded Plover group invested much time and money into the Where can I walk my dog? brochure, and it revealed the lack of walking options for dog owners.

plify the complexity of the issues for the public.

BirdLife Australia has leading experts in hooded plover conservation and currently coordinate national recovery efforts for the Victorian and South Australian populations.

Referring to BirdLife International materials found on the web does not give an accurate picture of the species, its threats and current management.

It is the nature of departments to be years behind in updating recovery plans hence why it was only in November last year that the hooded plover was finally listed on the national EPBC list.

Twenty years of monitoring revealed massive population declines and intensive monitoring of breeding success from 2006 has shown the birds to experience breeding success rates of between 0-5 per cent, averaging a 2.5 per cent chance of producing young.

With no young added to a population, aging birds die and populations plummet with no replacements.

Nearly a decade of intensive research on the Mornington Peninsula gives us a clear idea of how the birds are doing and why they are declining. Data reveals that current pressures from foxes, regulated horse access and dogs on lead (representing 20 per cent of park users) are not the drivers of breeding failure. However, prior to the last dog review, 80 per cent of dog walkers in the park are not complying with leashing regulations or hours of access.

This was directly linked with breeding failure including remote camera evidence of dogs crushing eggs, running through protected breeding sites and last season, what would have been the state’s first fledgling, being mauled and killed by an off leash Labrador.

This does not include the toll disturbance takes, as birds hide their chicks

Frigate’s farewell: While many eyes were glued to a cruise ship off Mornington on Tuesday, the frigate HMAS Sydney quietly slipped past Sorrento on its way out of Port Phillip on its final voyage before decommissioning in Sydney. The Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate had been on a four-day visit to Geelong. Launched in 1980 the Sydney was built by Todd Pacific Shipyards of Seattle, Washington. A guided-missile frigate the Sydney was the third of four to be constructed for Australia in the US. During its operational history, Sydney was sent to the Persian Gulf on five occasions to support US operations during the Gulf War, War in Afghanistan, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It completed at least two round-the-world voyages. The Sydney will be replaced by a Hobart-class destroyer. Picture: Andrew Mackinnon

Reduce shire’s flat tax for equity’s sake

OPINION

David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au WHEN in 1987 the “Joh for PM” campaign rolled south out of Queensland, the top policy priority of the radical conservative state premier was to introduce a national flat tax system of 25 per cent. Luckily for the nation, Sir Joh BjelkePetersen stumbled and fell well short of becoming prime minister.

Australia finally got a version of the odorous Joh’s national flat tax, our 10 per cent goods and services tax (GST), on 1 July 2000. The “simpler, fairer” broad-based way to collect revenue is now embedded in the nation’s tax system.

Flat taxes are no doubt simpler to collect. But they are not fairer than progressive taxes. They disadvantage those on low incomes, including the unemployed, retirees and pensioners.

In their 2015-16 budget considerations, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors will decide whether the peninsula’s very own flat tax – the municipal charge (MC) – will remain at $180 a rateable property or will again be increased.

Last year councillors voted not to lift it by the proposed $10.

The MC aims “to cover some of the administrative costs of the shire”, as allowed under the Local Government Act. Some municipalities do not levy one. Many keep it low, recognising its effect on poor households.

Mornington Peninsula Shire has increased the MC rapidly since it was first levied in 2002, when it raised $4.35 million. Last year it brought in $17.2 million – about 400 per cent more than it did 13 years earlier.

It has effectively become a supplementary rate, comprising close to half of some property owners’ rates bills.

Councillors’ refusal last year to raise it brought forth the protest that borrowings would be needed to cover the shortfall. What sized

Tax gatherers: Colbert and the the Sun King “The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least amount of hissing.”

– Jean-Baptiste Colbert, economic czar to the Sun King, Louis IV Commenting on this remark, the Alabama, US, based free-market publication, Mises Daily wrote: “There is no more dramatic encapsulation of the inherently conflicting interests of the people versus the state.

From the point of view of the state and its rulers, the people are but a giant goose to be plucked as efficaciously as possible.”

borrowing, some councillors asked. Just $2 million, they were told. The loan was never sought; presumably the sum was absorbed in the overall budget.

It is to be hoped that councillors will consider reducing the MC in the 2015-16 budget, with the aim of progressively cutting it year by year to well below $100. This cut could be offset by a small percentage increase in the rate in the dollar for all, and – horror of horrors – by an increase in the farm rate, now just 35 per cent of the residential rate.

Frankston’s farmers get a 20 per cent, not a 65 per cent, rates discount.

The shire’s rates and charges income for 2014-15 was $140.12 million, of which the MC comprised a not insubstantial 12.7 per cent.

The income target for 2015-16 will be helped by events (abolition of the carbon tax, putting the Rosebud aquatic centre on hold) that should relieve pressure on shire income requirements.

As well as this, the new state government, which each year must approve all proposed municipal budgets, will be watching closely. The usual rubber stamping of council budgets will not occur this year, with the Andrews government having put councils on notice that they must justify rate rises above the inflation rate

from 2016-17.

The shire’s 2014-15 budget describes the MC as “a fixed charge … not linked to property value but paid equally by all ratepayers”, which invites readers to conclude that it is a fair charge. But even the legislation prevents the MC from exceeding 20 per cent of revenue from it and general rates.

In a further statement appearing to justify the hefty MC it adds: “Council is comfortably within the upper limit set by legislation.”

The MC is further explained: “Striking an appropriate balance between [the rate in the dollar and the MC] helps to provide equity in the distribution of the rate burden across residents.”

Equity? Not when nearly half your rate burden is a flat tax.

Equity and fairness are unfashionable economic precepts in these times when budget surpluses and user pays are dominant but often unrealistic economic imperatives. Local government operates at political ground level, its politicians in daily contact with their voters.

Here, equity and fairness are not theories debated in rarefied boardrooms or in Cabinet meetings

by Dry theorists – desiccated, in the opinion of many. They are discussed among the supermarket aisles, the stuff of daily survival for many.

SAND MANAGEMENT WORKS NEAR RYE BOAT RAMP Mornington Peninsula Shire has received permission to undertake sand management works in the channel at the boat ramp near the Rye pier to improve safety.

The sand from these works will initially be placed approximately 200 metres to the east of the granite groyne, and will be used by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning for beach renourishment in the vicinity of the Rye Yacht Club.

The sand may initially be grey in colour but will quickly be bleached to the colour of beach sand by the action of sun and air. Tests have been undertaken on the sand to be removed and it does not represent a risk to health.

The works are planned to commence early March 2015 and may continue for up to 4 weeks.

Some minor disruption of access to the boat ramp and boating channel may occur during this time, and Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

For further information please contact Mr Peter Young on 5950 1281

IF the zest for the 9 to 5 life is waning and the need for holidays is becoming more and more frequent, why not take the plunge and make this outstanding property your everyday holiday escape and reinvigorate yourself. The superb landscaped gardens that surround the home have been professionally laid out and set the scene for private pool side fun and entertainment. Redefining outdoor living, the wonderful timber deck that overlooks the oasis-like pool, calmly ensconced between palms and

other succulents, is the perfect accompaniment to the free-flowing interior where polished floorboards gleam and natural light fills all spaces. A custom-designed kitchen incorporates a meals area and lounge that opens out to the deck. The kitchen has a stainless-steel dishwasher and rangehood. The second living area has a cosy fireplace and intriguingly, there is access from here up to the loft area, which has wonderful pine lined walls, curved to resemble a ships hull, to complement the coastal

aesthetics of the home even further. The loft could be a fourth bedroom for the adventurous child, but there are three, more conventional bedrooms all with built-in robes, including the main bedroom that has an ensuite and extra walk-in robe. To cater for all the vehicles, work and play, there is a four-car garage and a single carport. The location of this property will be hard to beat, with one of the best ocean beaches on the peninsula at the end of the road.

Come and enjoy a special way to live life.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Improvements for Rosebud reserve Compiled by Melissa Walsh OWING to pressure on our space reports of the Flinders, Frankston and Hastings Councils, and other matters, are held over till our next issue. *** MRS Charles Bowes, senior of Frankston, and Rathdown Street, North Carlton, is up and about again, after a very severe illness. *** MR Leigh Bowes, youngest son of Mr and Mrs C. Bowes, has volunteered for active service, and is now in camp at Broadmeadows. *** A “Tipperary” fair will be held in the Mechanics’ hall on Easter Monday (April 5th) in aid of the local Roman Catholic Church. *** A PUBLIC meeting is convened for this (Saturday) evening, in the Frankston Mechanics Hall, for the purpose of organising a penny fund to go towards the Belgian Relief Fund. A good attendance is expected. *** THE Minister of Agriculture (Mr Hutchinson) will open the Somerville Show on Wednesday next at one o’clock. Owing to prior engagements the Governor is unable to be present on the occasion. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason held their fortnightly produce sale at Frankston, on Wednesday last, when a good supply of garden and dairy produce was forward, for which most satisfactory prices were realised. This market is

growing in favor both with sellers and buyers. *** ANOTHER of the old identities of the district has passed away in the person of Mr Fuller, uncle of Mrs Jacobs, of the Sunbeam Cafe, at the advanced age of 85 years.

He came here over 30 years ago from Bendigo, and took up the occupation of cab driver, (the first in Frankston).

Afterwards he carried on a bearding house in the premises now occupied

by Mr Farmer, of Young Street. He left Frankston some 10 years ago, and took up his residence in Melbourne.

He was buried in the Frankston cemetery on Saturday afternoon last. *** A DARING robbery was committed in Frankston on Sunday night or the early hours of Monday morning, when the premises of Mr D. McDonald, storekeeper, of Young St, was forcibly entered by cutting a hole in the door large enough to insert a hand and turn the key, which was on the inside of the door.

About £20 worth of tobacco and cigarettes and a clock were taken, and on retiring, the robbers carefully relocked the door after them.

Up to the present no clue has been obtained as to the perpetrators of the robbery. *** THE prize schedule of the 21st Annual Show of the Somerville Fruit growers’ Association is published on our third page, and the prizes offered are quite

up to the average of former years, and the prospects seem to be bright for this year’s exhibition of fruit being one of excellent quality and quantity.

Competitors are reminded that entries close on Saturday (this evening) 6th March, but late entries will be received up to midday on Monday next, on payment of an extra shilling for each entry.

The Frankston Brass Band has been engaged for the day, which will add considerably to the pleasure of the day.

A special train leaves Flinders Street at 9.45 on the morning of show, stopping at intermediate stations, and leaving Frankston at 10.26, arriving at Somerville at 11.23. The return journey will be commenced at 6.20 p.m. *** THE Eight Hours Committee announces elsewhere in this issue its 59th Annual Art Union, in which 100 Prizes, of a total value of £1,000 will be distributed.

The first prize is valued at £500, the second at £100 and the third at £50.

The support accorded the undertaking last year was so generous that the committee were enabled to donate a very substantial sum to the Hospitals and Public Charities, to which the proceeds are devoted.

It will be the fifty–ninth celebration of the establishment of enjoins “Eight hours’ labor, eight hours’ recreation, and eight hours’ rest.”

The Committee has already made complete arrangements in connection with the Fete, which will be held at the Exhibition Buildings, Monday, 26th

April. A splendid programme of sports and amusements has been arranged for Eight Hours Day, which has been declared a Public and Bank Holiday throughout the State.

Numerous special attractions will be provided for adults and children the latter being particularly well catered, for in the shape of races for boys and girls of all ages, skipping contests, and other suitable events, and in addition, thousands of toys, skipping ropes, and bags of lollies will be given away free. *** ROSEBUD Public Reserve.

It has been felt for some time that the growing popularity of Rosebud as a seaside resort and the need of a proper ground for holding sports meetings and other fixtures have rendered it necessary that energetic steps should be taken to improve the public reserve, which includes some 5 acres of the foreshore, and a public meeting convened by the committee of the Rosebud Land and Water Sports Club was held in the hall on Monday evening, 22nd February, to discuss the necessary means to achieve that object.

Mr W. Jones, President of the club, was voted to the chair, and Mr W. Twyford was appointed secretary.

The chairman explained the object of the meeting, and stated that a properly appointed reserve was absolutely a necessity to Rosebud.

He read an extract from the ‘Age’ of 20th inst. in which it was stated that the Minister for Lands had decided to insist upon the effective control of all public reserves.

It could hardly be claimed that the

condition of the local reserve was very creditable to Rosebud, and it was therefore the duty (and he believed the desire) of all the residents to cooperate in making their reserve as attractive as possible.

He then invited the audience to give their views freely and openly as to how the object could be obtained.

A lengthy and animated discussion then took place, and Cr J. T. Brown, who represents the West Riding in the shire council, said that he was pleased to see so much interest taken in local matters, and promised to do all he could to further the laudable desires of the residents to improve their district. *** WE regret to state that Mr F. Church is still confined to his bed with a swollen knee. It is three months since he met with an accident, and his many friends feel some anxiety at his long illness. *** DRY weather conditions still prevail.

A good soaking rain is needed to help on the late crops of fruit. The first overseas consignment of fruit for this season was despatched this week, the destination being London. Several more are to follow this month to the same place. *** A GOOD many cases of colds and sore throats have occurred to children attending the State school lately. So far diphtheria has developed in one scholar only, who, however, has now fully recovered.

From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 6 March, 1915.

Important changes to Emergency at Frankston Hospital All patients requiring urgent treatment must now present to the new Emergency Department in Building A at Frankston Hospital.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Slippers: The enchanted footwear of destiny

By Stuart McCullough IT appeared without warning. On the first floor balcony adjacent to my office it sat; black, immobile and staring through the glass. It hadn’t been there the night before and the mere fact of its presence was irrefutable proof that something had happened, the details of which I was not aware. Whether that event was tragic or comic or the result of inadvertence was unclear. All I could see was the end result. Somewhere between my leaving and returning, a slipper had landed on my balcony without apology or explanation.

What could this possibly mean?

The plain, confronting truth is that a slipper has no business whatsoever turning up without an invitation. Is it a warning? From a cursory viewing of The Godfather, I know having a fish arrive in the post is a clear sign that all is not well, but I doubt Luca Brasi or anyone else ever ‘sleeps with the slippers’. Perhaps this is just the start.

Maybe further items of clothing or other accoutrements will materialize when I least expect them. I’m hoping one of them will be the Myki card I misplaced last week. But maybe the slipper didn’t arrive so much as it was left behind.

The most infamous case of ‘abandoned slipper syndrome’ concerns Cinderella. Could it be that one of the most famous heroines of children’s literature had been hanging around outside my office? It’s unlikely. There are, I concede, some key points that distinguished these circumstances from those of the fairy tales. For start-

ers, this slipper was not made of glass.

In fact, I very much doubt that Grosby make a glass slipper. If, indeed, this item belonged to Cinderella, I surmised that she’d really let herself go in recent years. No one, it seems, is immune to this economy. Not even a fairy tale princess. Sadly, there’s no way I could take this any further.

Trawling the streets looking for some-

one whose foot fits the slipper did not appeal. And unlike a glass slipper, this one would probably fit anyone.

Maybe the hand of destiny is at work. Fate has seen fit to intervene just as it did when it gifted King Arthur his sword, Excalibur. Could this piece of abandoned footwear be my Excalibur?

Is a mere slipper the weapon that will help me slay opposing armies and rule

all England? If those opposing armies are, in fact, spiders or other insects, then yes. Otherwise, it’s unlikely.

There are other questions, also.

Foremost among them is whether someone wearing slippers was standing on my balcony. It’s a good three metres to the ground. It would be an amazing thing if someone had managed to get up there and a more amazing thing still if they managed to get down again and only lost a slipper.

Which led me to conclude that the item was thrown onto my balcony.

On purpose. Is there any crueler prank than to deprive someone of their shoes? To unshod the shod, to render someone half barefoot is an action far too severe for peacetime. It’s hard to imagine a crime worthy of such a cruel and unusual punishment. There’s certainly no chance of appeal.

It’s been sitting there for weeks.

Staring in, occasionally changing position as a result of the wind, it is the slipper that never sleeps. Sadly, I’m reluctant to throw it out because the moment I do, some dude will show up on the doorstep; one slipper short of a pair and asking for help. I will feel guilty forever. Nor do I want to bring it inside. That, I feel, would be a drastic invasion of my privacy. In fact, it would feel as if the slipper had won.

Unwilling to bring it in from the elements and unable to bring myself to put it out of its misery by throwing it away, it remains on my balcony until whatever act of black magic responsible for putting it there in the first place deigns to take it away again.

To the extent that you’ve ever wondered whether having a mysterious black slipper appear on your balcony is bad luck, then wonder no more. I was waiting for what I call a ‘VIPC’, or ‘very important phone call’. I had a guest in my office, waiting for the phone to ring. Having stepped out to get two glasses of water, I returned only to find that the door would not open; meaning I was locked out and someone else was locked in. This would not be a problem if the door had a key. Instead, the handle and the bolt were no longer on speaking terms.

This, it seemed, was no mere accident.

Clearly, the slipper was to blame.

I was not about to be defeated by a lone piece of footwear. No way. At the bottom of the door is a grate. Whether it’s there for appearances or to ensure a flow of oxygen in all circumstances mattered little. When a colleague appeared with a hammer and chisel – items we always keep beside the tea bags and the little packets of sugar – we used it to prise open the grate.

Before you could say ‘dignity’, I was down on my stomach and shimmying my way through a small hole as though escaping from Stalag 17. Clearly, it’s got to go. Tomorrow I will dispose of the magical slipper and rid myself of its evil curse forever. Begone comfortable footwear of destiny! Begone! Or, alternatively, if there’s a guy missing a slipper, please feel free to collect it from my office. Although you might want to hurry. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

KASEY CHAMBER’S LEAP OF FAITH

By Melissa Walsh

JUST two days before Kasey Chambers headed back out on the road to start her Bittersweet Tour, she takes the time to chat about life, love, parenting and songwriting.

“I’m really excited about getting out on tour again. My voice has had its ups and downs in the last few months but I’ve been really looking after it,” says Chambers who had to reschedule her Bittersweet tour in October when she was diagnosed with voice nodules.

“My voice is naturally husky and I had nodules when I was a teenager and went to voice therapy for a while. It was disappointing to have to postpone last year but I’m glad I didn’t need surgery. I had to learn how to look after my voice again, no screaming at the kids for not having their room tidy for a few months,” she says with a laugh.

Chambers’ down to earth attitude is infectious as she talks about day-today life with her three children.

“Kids have a way of keeping you grounded. We live such a normal life even when they come out on the road with us, it’s just everyday to them.

They don’t really have a clue about the awards and albums. When were at home and down at the school, I’m literally just Arlon and Poet’s mum. My life is non-celebrity like, it’s definitely not glamorous.”

Just like any other mum, Chambers is dealing with the fact that her eldest son is about to start high school.

“He’s super ready, not nervous at all, he’s totally got this. He won’t be able to come on tour with us but it’s not like were away for three months at a time. The tour is set up so it’s away for a few days then home again.”

On the subject of balancing motherhood and career, Chambers says she couldn’t get by without the support of her family and friends.

“I’m so lucky with my family who come on the road with me, also one of my best friends lives in our granny flat and she helps out a lot with the kids, and they love her.”

One of the family traditions has been for all of them to go to Tamworth at the start of the tour and this year is no different.

“The kids don’t come out on the road with me all the time but would

PAGE 34

be very upset if we didn’t take them to Tamworth,” she says of the 12 year old, seven year old and three year old brood. “It’s a real family event.”

With a reputation as one of Australia’s most famous performers, Chambers grew up in a home where listening to country music was a way of life, singing with her family’s “Dead Ringer Band” and travelling all across the country.

Quarter of a century later, she is releasing her seventh solo album, and has no plans of slowing down.

There is a wonderfully natural flow to Chambers’ life, however, with the singer songwriter determined to maintain a good work life balance, and a healthy attitude to parenting.

“I used to feel a lot more guilty and wanted to be a supermum. Then I realized that there’s no such thing.

I think it’s a mum thing to want to please all the people all the time but you just can’t so now I weigh up different situations and try to be as balanced and fair as possible.

Just like any parent, sometimes there are work commitments, which mean you miss out on things. Last year my son made the rep team at AFL footy and I had a tour planned then but I knew this was important to him so we moved the tour,” says Chambers, who believes that it’s also important for our kids to see us make mistakes.

“When my children first started school I would freak out if I took a note in late. I thought I had let them down but they actually didn’t care. It made me realize the things that are important to our kids are not always what we think. My child doesn’t care if I have a note in late; he cares if I hang out with him after school. It’s unrealistic for our children to see us as perfect. Nobody’s perfect.

They just need to see you doing your best.”

After just taking home another ARIA award for Best Country Album for her record Bittersweet, Kasey now adds this to her collection of 10, so the country singer must be doing something right.

“I believe in positive energy in my life and in my songwriting but I also believe in telling the truth. Songwriting is my outlet for recognising all the emotions that we go through in life,” says the woman with one of the brightest

Southern Peninsula News 3 March 2015

personalities in the business. “The reality is that even though I am a positive person most of the time, I do have to recognize the other side.

Sometimes my songs come out sounding sadder than I am.”

Chambers says her album Bittersweet is a leap of faith, being the first solo album in five years.

“Like all my records, it is still a testament to who I am at the time,” says Chambers, whose new album shows she still has the ability to tap into raw emotion.

On Bittersweet, Chambers teams with some old and new faces, enlisting former Powderfinger frontman Bernard Fanning and acclaimed singer songwriter Dan Kelly to join the band. Her dad Bill contributes to backing vocals and

good friend and long-time band member Ashleigh Dallas co-wrote the first single, Wheelbarrow.

“I tried to do something different with this album as it signifies a new chapter in my life. I’m sure people will expect it to be a depressed divorce album but it’s not. I really am a positive person but the funny thing is the title song Bittersweet is one of the saddest songs on the album,” says a laughing Chambers, who wrote half the record before the divorce and the other half after.

Chambers split from her husband Shane Nicholson two years ago after eight years of marriage but, in true Kasey style, she remains philosophical.

“I believe you learn more from the negative things than the positive

things in your life,” she says of her new journey and becoming a single parent. “My writing allows me to reflect and use my creative world as an outlet and my new beginning is also reflected in the album.”

Chambers says she learnt a lot about herself as a mother, as a partner and as “a failure”, with Bittersweet a way to step outside the box and reflect the changes in her life.

“I wasn’t positive every day. Some days I would wake up and be sad but it’s not my personality to stay that way and eventually I started looking on the bright side. Life is not about being happy all the time but I do believe in positive energy. If you put good things out in the world it will come back to you.”

GRAZE THE BAYS – LAND AND SEA

By Dianne Baxter food and beverage assets there is a marine prominence that will entertain and educate.

Mornington Peninsula is environmentally unique; it has over 190 km of diverse coastline; which is approximately 10% of Victoria’s total, encasing the majority of 700 square kilometres of historic, scenic and diverse landscapes.

The stunning, historic and beautiful Morning Star Estate in Mount Eliza is the setting for Graze the Bays. Locals at this event include Mornington Peninsula Brewery, local wineries such as Crittenden and Bluestone Lane, and a wealth of other, sometimes lesser known stallholders. Graze, as a participant in the MFWF, is all about ‘regional and discover something new’.

‘Our Peninsula’ is so special that it was recently voted in the ‘National Geographic worldwide top 20 tours – 2015’. The summary reads ‘eat, drink, play, repeat’.

The land is well recognised for quality produce and products, with many events and festivals acknowledging the variety and quality of fresh local foods and beverages. What is lesser celebrated is our world class marine culture, which includes recreation, tourism and food businesses amongst others.

Graze the Bays – Land and Sea is participating in the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival (MFWF). MFWF is an iconic event that has been celebrating local people and products for 25 years. This year heralds a push to further recognise non metropolitan areas and their assets, with this year’s theme being ‘discover something new’ and ‘regional’.

Graze the Bays is just that.

Graze the Bays however is not just about ‘eat and drink’, there is also ‘play and repeat’.

Graze embraces the world class marine culture that we have, and the people and businesses that ensure that we have many sustainable recreational and lifestyle options within the maritime sector. This festival is

And remember; eat, drink, play, repeat.

brought to you by the Mornington Peninsula Marine Alliance, which in future years aims to “grow the interest and engagement of the marine business aspects in this festival, for example, Savage Seas Adventures is a great example of the link between the Bays and the BBQ” Graze the Bays is a new showcase for local Peninsula products that demonstrates the quality goods and talent of the people who create and sustain their businesses through their excellent products and services.

Our Port Phillip Bay mussel growers have joined forces to bring this delicious mollusc to you with other local seafood, The Australian Seafood Show and Savage Seas (both Foxtel shows) are supporting this exciting new event and will play major roles in entertaining on the Graze live stage. Masterclasses by local outstanding wineries, a brewery and a distillery are taking place, and our host venue, Morning Star Estate is putting on a wine matching degustation dinner. (All tickets for these via the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival website). Whilst this year’s inaugural event predominantly encompasses our

There are many other people that have made this festival a reality – the support from local businesses and individuals has been fantastic; the Graze live stage cooking facilities have been donated by Masters, as are two of the kids’ activities, including ‘I-Create’. Other valued sponsors include Mornington Peninsula Shire, Mornington Peninsula News Group, Sealite, Hockingstuart, Mornington Honda and Holden, Hart Marine, Searoad ferries, Bendigo Bank, Pete’s Kitchen and many more. This mix of interests demonstrates the Peninsula’s readiness for a new event, one that is close to home and supports the locals, one that acknowledges the wealth of facets and assets that our coastlines and waters offer.

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Pies let the Dogs out PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully MORNINGTON Peninsula Cricket Association reigning Provincial premiers, Mornington was knocked out of the top four on Saturday by Crib Point.

Needing to win to keep their fourth position and take part in the finals, the Dogs needed just one wicket to pick up the vital victory.

However, the fighting Magpies dug deep and scored the necessary runs in the final over to win by just two runs.

There were emotional scenes at the conclusion of the match â&#x20AC;&#x201C; elation and despair from the opposing teams.

However, despite winning the game, Crib Point still missed out on a finals spot by percentage.

Baxter needed to win against Long Island in the final game and hope the Magpies did the rest against Mornington. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what played out

and Baxter replaced Mornington in the top four.

All of the interest was always going to be at Crib Point Recreation Reserve.

In front of a bigger crowd than normal, Mornington won the toss and batted first.

They lost some early wickets and scoring was made difficult after some tight bowling from the Magpies.

Luke Popov remained unbeaten on 34 and Brad McDonald hit 30, while Michael Heib blasted a quick 20 at the end.

Despite Matt Foon snaring four wickets, the Dogs couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Crib Point from hitting the target.

Matty Blake got the Pies going with 50 and it was Waide Symes and Glenn Barclay at the end who hung about long enough to get their team over the lines.

Baxter simply had to beat Long Island and they managed to do it pretty comfortably.

Batting first, Baxter made 6/174, skipper Daniel Warwick hitting 73 and Dale Irving 36. Ben Smith was also solid batting at six and making a valuable 29.

Scott Phillips was the pick of the Islanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowlers with 3/30.

The Islanders looked the goods in the chase at 2/62, however, two quick wickets and it was all down hill from there. Only a wag from the tale at the end between Chris Hocking (13) and Greg Lamb (17) gave their score some respectability.

Long Island finished on 9/146 from 40 overs.

In only his fourth First XI game this season, Brad Holton snared 5/26 from eight overs.

Peninsula Old Boys won a thriller against Langwarrin.

The Kangas batted first and made 184, skipper Mark Cooper top scoring with 64, Jake Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Atri helping himself to 36 and Nathan Volpe hitting 31.

Adam Jones was the pick of the Old Boys bowlers with four wickets.

Langwarrin had their chances to win the game, however, they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent the Old Boys getting the required runs with four wickets and three balls to spare.

Heatherhill won its last game of the season but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to avoid relegation against Moorooduc.

Despite the win, the Hills will play in District cricket next season, which will allow them an opportunity to rebuild with a young group.

The Hills batted first and made 9/144, Jake Theobald top scoring with 33 and Brent Maxwell scoring 27.

The visitors then bowled out the Ducs for 119 in 24.3 overs. Jason Hinde was the star with the ball for the Hills, picking up 7/30 off 7.3 overs.

Mt Eliza saved its biggest embarassment to the final game of the year, humiliated by Rye. One wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have thought that a

disastrous season could get any worse, however it did for the Mounties.

They were bowled out for 88 in 34.2 overs against the Demons, Aaron Fiddes claiming 3/10 from six overs.

The Demons then got the runs with six wickets and 10 overs to spare.

Sorrento will head into the finals with plenty of confidence after beating Pines.

Pines batted first and made 131 in 40 overs with Harley Parker and Harley Peace-Sterling each getting 33.

Anthony Blackwell claimed 3/15 for the Sorras.

The Sorras were 3/34 at one stage in the match before Nick Jewell hit an unbeaten 41 and together with Leigh Poholke (20) got their side across the line.

Nick Wilcox was the best of the bowlers with 3/29 while Luke Bartlett took 2/14 in his first match.

Top four win way to finals DISTRICT

By IT Gully RED Hill will host Main Ridge in one MPCA District Semi Final while Somerville and Seaford will go head to head in the other after all four sides won in the final home and away game on Saturday.

While five teams were vying for two top four positions heading into the final game, the equation was pretty simple for those under pressure, Seaford and Main Ridge.

Their fate was in their own hands and a victory was enough to ensure they made the top bracket.

And win they did, Seaford travelling to Boneo and getting the job done there while Main Ridge pumped Seaford Tigers.

Carrum, Mt Martha and Baden Powell were the other three sides with an opportunity to play finals should the cards fall their way.

The Lions beat Delacombe Park and Mt Martha beat Flinders, so they were ready to pounce should the others have coughed things up.

Baden Powell had the unenviable task of playing Red Hill and as expected, fought hard but fell short.

At the other end of the scale, Hastings lost their match against Somerville and will be relegated to Sub District grade next season.

Delacombe Park will be very happy that the season is finally over after a horrible season.

Coming off flag favouritism last season, the Parkers had a season theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather forget. On Saturday against Carrum, they were great with the ball and restricted the Lions to 9/110 off 40 overs. Chris Brittain was back and snared 3/25 while his brother Ben snagged 2/12 from seven overs.

Josh Dent top scored for the Lions with 25.

When it came time to chase down the 111 for victory, the Parkers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

PAGE 40

offer any resistance, rolled for 86 in 29 overs. Jon Guthrie top scored with 26.

Jackson Fry was the pick of the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bowlers with 4/23.

Baden Powell put the pressure on the ladder leaders Red Hill and set them a target of 185 for victory after scoring 6/184 in their 40 overs. Rhys Elmi starred again for his side with an unbeaten 93.

However, the Hillmen really did cruise to the line, getting the target with five balls to spare.

Simon Dart top scored with 68 while Matt Merifield was among the runs again with 39. He finished with 349 runs for the season. His skipper Dart scored 641.

Boneo set Seaford 138 for victory and they did it with three overs to spare (5/141).

Nick Simpendorfer top scored for Seaford with 29.

Somerville was made to work hard for its victory against Hastings.

The Eagles batted first and made 138 from its 40 overs. Leigh Lowry top scored with 46, while there were 31 extras.

Liam Bradshaw and Mitchell Floyd snared 3/19 and 3/30 respectively.

In the chase, the Blues looked a chance with Tim Birch (45) and Aaron Vinson (20) together at the crease but when they went, the Blues lost 5/2.

Matty Roach (5/19) and Aaron Kaddatz were on fire for the Eagles (4/32).

Main Ridge smashed Seaford Tigers by almost 80 runs.

The Ridge batted first and made 7/149, Brad Rossborough top scoring with 26.

The Tigers were then bowled out for just 72 in 30.3 overs. Jason Albress collected 5/16 off 8.3 overs.

By IT Gully IT was an epic conclusion to the MPCA Sub District cricket season on Saturday.

There were six teams all vying for the top four positions on the ladder and a finals berth.

Any of the teams that were in the top four could have lost their position depending on other results.

As it turned out, only one team (Carrum Downs) that was in the four before the final game, lost its place.

Pearcedale replaced the Cougars in the top bracket.

The ladder, including points and the all important percentage, looked like this before the final home and away game: Tootgarook: 96 & 1.562 Rosebud: 96 & 1.338 Carrum D: 88 & 1.130 YCW: 88 & 1.105 Pearcedale: 84 & 1.400 Balnarring: 76 & 1.277 This is the way it looked on Saturday evening after the final results were in.

Rosebud: 108 & 1.400 YCW: 100 & 1.139 Pearcedale: 96 & 1.474 Tootgarook: 96 & 1.451 Balnarring: 88 & 1.341 Carrum D: 88 & 1.055 This means Rosebud will host Tootgarook in an all local final while Frankston YCW and Pearcedale will go toe to toe in the other semi.

Carrum Downs lost their place in the top four after being thrashed by Rosebud.

The master that is Darren Kerr may have missed most of the season, however, his unbeaten 81 in a total score of 7/129 was match winning.

Stuart Swift snared 5/32 for the Cougars.

In the chase, Carrum Downs was bowled out for 69 in 25 overs. Son and father duo Pat and Jason Nagel picked up 3/10 and 3/7 respectively.

Pearcedale needed to win and did it with seven wickets and 11 overs in hand against Skye.

Skye batted first and were bowled out for 110. Shayne Gillings collected three wickets while Chris Dew, Kaine Smith and Adrian Ridout took two wickets each.

Dew (45) and Gillings (49) then ensured the Panthers got the runs to record an easy win.

Frankston YCW thrashed Tootgarook.

The Frogs batted first and made 9/86. Paul Bradley was the best of the YCW bowlers with 3/21.

The Stonecats got the winning runs with eight overs to spare and five wickets in hand. Pat Falzon top scored with 31.

In other matches, Balnarring (3/162) won a high scoring game against Ballam Park (159) and Tyabb (9/171) easily accounted for Dromana (89).

Motoring Toyota Prius C offers sharper looks and price TOYOTA’S hybrid Prius c range enters 2015 with a sportier exterior, sharper dynamics and an enhanced interior while resuming the mantle of Australia’s most affordable hybrid car.

The upgraded Prius c is even better value with Toyota reducing prices by $1,000 on both grades - to $22,990 for the standard Prius c and $25,990 for the high-grade Prius c i-Tech.

In city driving, Prius c delivers the best fuel economy of any vehicle without a plug, sipping just 3.7 litres/100km, thanks to the combination of an efficient petrol engine and electric motor.

Toyota’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the latest Prius c improvements add to the appeal of the car’s innovative downsizing, smart packaging and targeted weight reductions.

“Prius c is a smaller and lighter sibling to the Prius hatch yet it still provides ample space for five adults thanks to Toyota’s clever solutions,” he said.

“A great example is the placement of the hybrid battery and fuel tank under the rear seat, which means there is also room for plenty of luggage and a full-size spare wheel.”

The refreshed exterior styling of the Prius c is dominated by a hexagonal grille that is more aggressive than the previous trapezoidal opening. It is

flanked by reshaped headlights that provide a sharper look - halogen for the entry grade and a bi-LED lamp for i-Tech.

A redesigned front bumper adopts greater sculpting around the foglamps to an on-road stance that looks wider and more planted.

New wheel covers have been adopted for the 15-inch steel wheels

on the standard car while the i-Tech retains its 15-inch alloys. Both grades have full-size spares.

Rear combination lamps have been restyled with a more vertical design and LEDs are now used for the tail as well as the stop lights.

Inside, the Prius c now imparts a higher-quality feel with new colour themes that employ darker hues,

including black glossy surrounds and soft-touch dash cladding on i-Tech.

New fabric upholstery on the standard grade is black with dark blue facings while the i-Tech’s dark-grey seats feature silver stitching, which also appears on the steering wheel.

Like all Toyota hybrids, the Prius c is a full hybrid, meaning it can run on the petrol engine alone, the battery

alone, or a combination of both.

Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive combines the output of a petrol engine and electric motor through an innovative planetary-type continuously variable transmission.

On the combined fuel-consumption test cycle, Prius c uses just 3.9 litres/100km using 91 RON regular unleaded petrol. CO2 emissions are 90 grams/km**.

The car’s petrol engine is generally switched off to save fuel when the vehicle is stationary, coasting or braking, and when it is reversing.

Prius c’s hybrid system prioritises electric power for take-off, low-speed operation and reversing, and combines petrol and electric power for increased performance.

The system employs several other technologies to reduce fuel use. Energy from braking and deceleration is converted into electricity and sent to the battery. Electric power runs the water pump and power steering assist, eliminating drive belts.

For years, the iconic Prius name has been synonymous with hybrid.

Today, the Prius family includes the original Prius hatch which is now in its third generation, the even larger and roomier seven-seat Prius v and the Prius c city car. Toyota also offers hybrid versions of its best-selling Camry range.

A shining star.

Sunday 8th March

You’re in for a treat if the breeze is up, as festival organisers are hosting a team of internationally acclaimed kite flying designers from both mainland Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.

The majority of invited guests are famous for flying huge inflatable Maxi kites. Giant kites are so large they take a string of runner kites and a team of people to get them in the air and some pretty strong cabling attached to a car or two to keep them anchored to the ground. Flying high in the sky, against a backdrop of blue and with the Rosebud foreshore below, they never fail to impress.

Also see Cathedral Window Delta kites, being shown by one of Australia’s most eminent kite makers, Robert Brasington, who lives in Tasmania.

His unique designs are influenced by modern Gothic art and architecture. Although smaller in size, these diamond kites are a beauty to watch and spectators should check them out within the big arena.

Kids Interactive Zone: Enjoy the Big Yellow Circus tent, the Blacksnake wildlife and reptile tent and Coralia the mermaid at her mini sea pool, with her marine and mollusc education program.

Blacksnake Productions: Enter the Blacksnake display space, beside the Circus Tent, and enjoy an interactive wildlife display which allows the audience to touch and hold the hand tamed birds, marsupials and reptiles! The energetic presenters make this wildlife experience entertaining, exciting and educational. Lots of photo opportunities.

Coralia the Mermaid: Meet Coralia at her mini sea pool and enjoy her interactive fun education on marine life. 12pm, 1pm and 2pm.

Charity Partner Red Kite is the Australian cancer charity which provides essential support for the families of children and young people, up to the age of 24, with cancer. Services include counselling, practical and financial assistance, educational support and bereavement support.
