Big bill to save Portsea beach Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE state government is considering options to stop the ongoing destruction of Portseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic front beach after it received the findings of a $300,000 wave monitoring and seabed modelling study commissioned mid-2014. The study by Worley Parsons was recently handed to the government

and environment department bureaucrats. They must quickly decide how to save the 1000-sandbag protection wall and stop the destructive swell now spreading both east and west. The sandbag wall may only last another 18 months and it will be expensive to replace. Storms in May removed thousands of tonnes of sand and foredune from the eastern end of the beach, exposing the roots of old trees as well as

rocks under the foredune, destabilising temporary steps (which have been closed) and damaging more than 20 of the 1000 sandbags. A huge section of foreshore at the eastern end collapsed onto the beach and was washed away. Damage is also being done to Fishermans Beach west of the pier. Storms exposed rocks not seen in living memory as well as the remains of an old jetty. The News understands that options

being considered include: ď Ž Changing the seabed to stop ocean-like waves refracting off a large sandbar. ď Ž Building an underwater barrier to reduce wave energy. ď Ž Installing groynes on the beach. A temporary fix may be the placing of sloping rocks in front of the sandbags. The Worley Parsons study is the third into the problem and was commissioned following pressure from

residents, aquatic businesses and Nepean Ratepayers Association. It measured currents, waves and tides, and has modelled the wave â&#x20AC;&#x153;climateâ&#x20AC;?, including seasonal wave patterns. It has confirmed a 2013 report by environmental consultancy Water Technology, which found that changes to the seabed had increased the size and velocity of waves reflected onto the beach.

Trouble at peninsula heritage icon Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au A CHANGE in the way the National Trust manages its four historic properties in the region has triggered the resignation of McCrae Homestead’s part-time manager and nine of its 10 volunteers. The homestead in Beverley Rd, McCrae, is Victoria’s oldest original timber house, built in 1844 on Arthur’s Seat Run, the largest lease in the fledgling Port Phillip colony. It is one of few original pioneer property on the peninsula open to the public. Its historical value is enhanced by the diaries, journals, music books and paintings left by the homestead’s designer and original resident, Georgiana McCrae. Manager Sharon Bowen resigned in late August after 21 years at the property and her departure saw nine of 10 volunteers quit. Volunteers guide visitors, and clean and maintain the house, visitor centre and gardens. Judy Walsh, chair of the peninsula branch of the trust, told The News the

Time out: McCrae Homestead manager Sharon Bowen has left after seven years in the role and most volunteers have departed with her. The National Trust is calling for new volunteers. Picture: Yanni

organisation had appointed a regional manager, Cara Simpson, earlier in the year to look after its four properties – McCrae Homestead, Endeavour Fern Gully at Red Hill, The Briars Park at Mt Martha (jointly managed with Mornington Peninsula Shire), and Mulberry Hill in Baxter. “The trust is doing things differently nowadays with more attention paid to things like occupational health and safety,” Ms Walsh said. “We have to bring our systems into the 21st century.” Ms Walsh said Cara Simpson was a museum-trained curator with a background in heritage property management. “After 21 years, including seven as manager, Sharon Bowen has decided to move on to other things. I believe she is considering starting her own business. There is no doubt that Sharon has made a magnificent contribution to heritage by her commitment for which she was recently awarded the Mornington Peninsula Individual Heritage Award. “The homestead guides have made a collective decision not to adopt a different style of management, as is their prerogative, but unfortunately the consequences of that action makes it immediately difficult to keep the homestead operating fully. “It is regrettable as the guides take with them their very valuable service and knowledge. Naturally in such circumstances there is a small hiatus in opening times in the interim until new

recruitment measures are implemented. Meanwhile the homestead has just recorded a very strong attendance of group bookings in September so I can justifiably say the homestead is neither closed nor mouldering.” Ms Walsh said a new manager would not be appointed at McCrae. Former McCrae Homestead volunteer John Snellgrove criticised the trust’s management style. “The trust is unable at all management levels to work with and support its volunteers,” he said. “Volunteers have become very frustrated at the unwillingness of the trust to listen and take notice of reports from simple maintenance matters to major repairs and advertising.” He said the homestead was now only open on Saturdays and Sundays afternoons although it was one of few National Trust properties to show a profit. It had previously been open on weekday afternoons as well as weekends. “Attendances have dropped because the trust doesn’t advertise the homestead,” he said. Mr Snellgrove and his wife Joan were volunteers at McCrae Homestead for many years but walked away earlier this year. He said one of his last tasks in March as a volunteer was to paint the outside of the house and its separate kitchen, which took 10 days. • Anyone who wants to volunteer at McCrae Homestead can contact 9656 9800 (office hours).

Standoff on Sorrento chopper pad Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au CONCERNS over a proposed private helipad near the back beach at Sorrento have generated a huge online backlash. By Wednesday 165 objections had been posted against proposals for a helipad in Ivanhoe St, citing loss of character, safety and amenity, as well as fire and chemical spillage risks. Objectors claim the helipad would breach Mornington Peninsula Planning Scheme Clause 52.15-2 which relates to the helicopter’s landing distance from neighbouring properties.

Mornington Peninsula Shire manager statutory planning Niall Sheehy on Wednesday said no permit application for a helipad had been received. The owner of the block at 31 Ivanhoe St, Simon Pitard, said he had not yet decided whether he would apply for a permit. “At the moment I am going through the workings with neighbours to discuss what we are doing and come to a resolution,” he said. “Some people are making a mountain out of a molehill.” Mr Pitard said he intended building a holiday home for his family’s use and not use a helipad to attract buyers

to any future subdivision of the hectare block. He says he intends flying in four times a month, most likely weekends. He disputed claims his landings would breach the shire’s planning scheme, saying helicopters the size and weight of his Raven 44 – below 1.6 tonnes – were allowed within the 43 metre-distance to his nearest neighbour. In discussions with nearby residents he used technical specifications to explain that noise from the helicopter was below that of a lawnmower and far less than a chainsaw. “It’s the only block of its kind and

I want to build a private residence there,” he said. “There’s no other block like it in Sorrento that has the ability to have a helipad. “My helicopter would fly in over a national park and not over anyone’s property and with a clear approach.” He said in the event of not receiving a helipad permit and possibly selling the block, he would “subdivide and clear the land and sell off six lots”. Petitioners led by Josh Marks, who has had a family home nearby for 40 years, claim a helipad would adversely impact on neighbours’ enjoyment of their land and reduce the value of their land.

“It will detract from the overall harmony of the community and is utterly inappropriate,” they say. Jill Fearon, OAM, of Jarman Crt, said fire safety was her biggest concern. “If it crashed and caught fire it could ignite the peninsula,” she said. “And that’s apart from injuring people.” The resident of 21 years – whose property backs onto the Pitard block – said approval of a helipad would set a precedent for more. “That and the safety risk are my worst fears, because he would have to keep aviation fuel here.”

Ceremony remembers fallen police POLICE remembered fallen colleagues in a National Police Remembrance Day ceremony at Rosebud RSL, Tuesday. Coinciding with Blue Ribbon Day in Victoria, National Police Remembrance Day is a time for police and the community to honour the men and women who have died serving their community. Remembrance Day was instigated in April 1989 during the Conference of Commissioners of Police of Australasia and the South West

Pacific Region. It was agreed the service would be held on 29 September – the feast day of Saint Michael (the Archangel) Patron Saint of Police. Since 1853 when Victoria Police was established, 159 officers have been killed in the line of duty. Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton said the memory of police officers killed while at work would live on forever. “We will never forget them,” he said.

“Despite the risks and challenges associated with the role, the commitment to serve the community outweighs the negatives. “We are well aware of the dangers our members face. Yet every day, more than 13,000 police and 1100 Protective Services Officers put on their uniforms and come to work to protect those around them.” Blue Ribbon Day raises money for improved emergency facilities in public hospitals.

A Woman’s Place brings stories centre stage Melissa Hodge melissah@mpnews.com.au PENINSULA Op shops will combine with performing artists to bring local stories centre stage later this month. The Southern Peninsula Arts Centre in Rosebud will come alive with pop-up Op shops, theatre, workshops and conversations, 30 October-1 November. Cosy spaces will be created to share cake and hear stories by Evelyn Krape before participants immerse themselves in the craft of autobiographical poetry with An-

drea Louise Thomas and sing from the heart with Colleen Rees. “Op shops are such an integral part of our community,” theatre manager Anthea Mackenzie said. “We loved the idea of working with them creatively. We can’t wait to see how they transform the theatre space at SPAC.” There will also be an opportunity to join in star weaving. The delicate paper stars will be collected as part of a national and international project: One Million Stars to End Violence. The weekend will culminate in a reading by actors Carole Patullo

and Jane Bayly. Using the real words from stories shared over the weekend, they will create verbatim theatre style piece A Woman’s Place. “Everyone has a story to share,” Carole said. “Funny, poignant, lifechanging and real-life stories are inside us all. “Iraqi American author Zainab Salbu says, ‘The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling’. “What is ordinary and familiar to you may be extraordinary and exciting to others. Your tale, big or small, may just make a difference

to someone’s day, week or life. We are inviting women to share their stories, via email, post, or in person on the day. You can even share your story on our Facebook page.” The weekend will be launched 7.30pm, Friday 30 October, with the play Button. The show toured SPAC in 2012. It explores the delicate negotiation of social conventions and human needs, celebrating our connection with life around us, organisers say. To register your interest in A Woman’s Place call Anthea Mackenzie on 5986 8204 or email mackenzie.anthea.l@edumail.vic.gov.au

SORRENTO SES volunteers have spent much of winter twiddling their thumbs – and that’s been good news for all southern peninsula residents. David Lammers said winter had been one of the quietest times for many years with the number of requests for assistance at an all-time low. “However, our records show a prolonged quiet period is often followed by a severe storm, so this is not a time for complacency,” he said. “The community needs to be vigilant and prepared for the next storm, which could happen at any time. “Gutters need to be kept clean and downpipes and drains freed from any obstruction. “Trees should be checked for existing damage and any unsafe branches removed so they don’t fall or blow around in high winds.” Many residents heard the “Storm Safe Week” message recently at Aldi supermarket in Rosebud and the Dromana Hub shopping centre, and the SES will be at Bunnings on Boneo Rd near Rosebud between 9am-2pm on Saturday 10 October. “We’ll be there to provide advice and answer any questions,” Mr Lammers said. “Our road crash rescue truck and storm support vehicles will be open for inspection. At 11am the road crash rescue crew will show how we extract injured passengers trapped in a car.” There will be several activities for children from Bunnings and DIY workshops for adults.

Mingling for business PENINSULA Business Networking’s next “Meet, mix and mingle night” is 6-7.30pm Tuesday 13 October at 1001 Nights, 86 Mt Eliza Way, Mt Eliza.

Bush food workshops THOSE interested in learning about bush foods, what they are and how they can be incorporated into a farming enterprise should attend a series of workshops next month. One will be held in Mt Martha on Sunday 18 October. The Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority, with the support of the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program, will host the workshops across the Port Phillip and Western Port region from Thursday 15 October. Regional landcare facilitator Karen Thomas said the workshops would provide information on identifying, growing and harvesting bush foods, as well as creating marketing opportunities for landholders. Registration is $10 with all funds going directly to the Landcare network. Details: Ms Thomas, 0427 480 170 or email karen.thomas@ppwcma. vic.gov.au

Pounded: The $3 million sandbag wall built to protect Portsea’s eroding front beach in 2010 continues to be damaged by waves that first appeared in 2009. The state government has a new report into the phenomenon and faces a number of expensive options. Picture: Yanni

Government weighs Portsea Beach options Continued from Page 1 The government commissioned a second study, by the CSIRO, which found that dredging in 2008-09 may have contributed to larger and more powerful swells. “Evidence from wave-modelling studies also indicates that it is conceivable that the channel-deepening project may have increased the height of waves impacting the beach at Portsea, and therefore some degree of attribution to the channel-deepening project is pos-

sible,’’ the CSIRO report stated. Colin Watson of Nepean ratepayers, a key driver of the reports, said a large sandbar off Portsea had not been dredged but had changed shape. “We have consistently said we want our beach back, whatever the cause may be,” he said. Mr Watson took up the challenge of lobbying the government for a solution when he returned to live in Portsea permanently in early 2012 after leaving as an 18-year-old. “My father was a professional

fisherman and later drove passenger ferries for 35 years,” he said. “Dad reckons he did about 65,000 trips between Portsea, Sorrento and Queenscliff but never saw waves like this hitting the beach.” Mr Watson said there were refracted waves hitting the beach before dredging but now they were “sometimes enormous on an incoming tide”. The Worley Parsons report is expected to be released at the end of October.

Port job for former shire CEO Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au THE shire’s former CEO Michael Kennedy has been appointed interim CEO of the Port of Hastings Development Authority following the resignation of Mike Lean last week. Mr Lean has taken a job in the transport industry in Geelong near where he lives. He was appointed head of the revamped port authority in February 2013 when the Baillieu Coalition government decided to begin long-term planning for an expanded container port at Hastings, which was due to open as early as 2025. In April 2013, the former ports minister (and new premier) Denis Napthine announced $110 million over four years for logistics, scientific, economic benefit and other studies. (Former premier Ted Baillieu had resigned on 6 March.)

New role: Michael Kennedy.

The port authority lost funding late last year when the ALP won office and downgraded the expansion plans. In a statement, authority chairman Yehudi Blacher said Mr Lean had “brought outstanding leadership to the role and a genuine desire to advance the future of the Port of Hastings for Victoria. A strong feature of his tenure has been his genuine commitment to transparent engagement with the community in relation to the future of the port”. Ports minister Luke Donnellan said he “appreciated [Mr

Lean’s] work in repositioning the focus on the Port of Hastings”. Mr Blacher also announced the appointment of Michael Kennedy. “Dr Kennedy was until recently the CEO of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. Dr Kennedy brings a wealth of public and private sector knowledge to the authority with particular expertise in local government management and the transport and shipping industries,” Mr Blacher said. Mr Donnellan welcomed the appointment. “I look forward to working with Michael during his period as interim CEO.” Dr Kennedy was shire CEO from 1999 till November 2014, almost 16 years. In August 2014, the shire’s 11 councillors told him they would be advertising his job for the first time since his appointment in 1999. He decided to apply but did not make the short list and quit.

Break-ins mar Flinders holidays HOLIDAY home owners in the Flinders area are being advised to check for lost property after up to six homes and six cars were broken into Wednesday night. One of the cars was stolen but later recovered. Rosebud detectives arrested and charged a Hastings man, 34, with burglary and theft on

Friday. He was bailed to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 9 December. Another man is believed to be involved but he had not been apprehended when The News went to press. Detectives said absentee owners may not even be aware their homes had been raided. Items known to have been

stolen include a mountain bike, wallet with credit cards, sunglasses and coins, but a full list is hard to compile until the exact number of break-ins is known. Anyone with information is asked to call Rosebud CIU on 5986 0444 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

Peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first weekly produce market

THE peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first weekly produce market starts at The Briars Park in Mt Martha on Tuesday 20 October. It is the idea of Rachael Koch, who grew up in Frankston, and Matt Taylor, of Mt Eliza â&#x20AC;&#x201C; business and life partners who met at Woodleigh School â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will be the culmination of planning that started last summer when the couple first started talking to peninsula suppliers. Discussions with the shire, which owns and runs The Briars, started in April and the lease was signed last week. Ms Koch said Briars head ranger Jarrod Ruch had â&#x20AC;&#x153;been amazing as the market fits in with the Briars ethosâ&#x20AC;? and area councillors Bev Colomb and Anne Shaw had been supportive. Known formally as the Briars Community Produce Market, features will include all suppliers no more than 40km away, zero waste, no plastic (although Ms Koch conceded meat

might have plastic packaging), and no charge for parking. Calico bags made in Australia will be on sale for $5. They have set up a not-for-profit structure and will put earnings back into the market including workshops in summer as well as toward projects at The Briars. The couple is hoping for 20 stallholders at the first market offering vegetables, fruit, coffee, wine, bread, olive oil and honey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for eggs and meat,â&#x20AC;? Ms Koch said. Seed money for the project came from French waste management multinational Suez Environnment, which made 39 grants nationally this year. The couple applied for a $2400 grant but Suez liked their idea so much it doubled the grant. Details: 0478 536 081 or briarsmarket@gmail. com Mike Hast

THE Victorian Squash Country Individual Championships will be held on October 10 and 11 at the Tonic Squash & Gym Centre and Labor candidate for Dunkley Peta Murphy will be defending her title. Ms Murphy won the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title last year and hopes to put in a good effort at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been playing squash since I was 12, and play in the Mornington Peninsula pennant league for the Dromana club, having played state grade for Victoria in the past,â&#x20AC;? said Ms Murphy, who works as a barrister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year was the first time I have won that title, but had won the over 35 Australian Masters Championship, and the US Masters for 35 years and over in 2012.â&#x20AC;? While her preparation for the event has been minimal, Ms Murphy is going full steam ahead in the last week to get ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been coming off a really long layoff with injury but am back now and working to prepare for the event this week,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By hook or by crook I am going to get myself there to compete.â&#x20AC;?

New freeway signs – at long last Mike Hast mike@mpnews.com.au ALMOST three years after opening in January 2013, Peninsula Link freeway will get directional and tourism signs that were omitted from the original brief for the $850 million road. The signs come courtesy of intense lobbying by federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson and peninsula tourism officials, and will be installed in time for this “year’s peak summer holiday period”, Mr Billson said. About $175,000 of the cost will come from a federal Coalition government grant organised by Mr Billson in what some people will see as an unfair cost burden as the freeway is a private public partnership between the Victorian government and Lend Lease. Peninsula motorists were surprised and disappointed at the lack of directional and tourism signs when the freeway opened. Tourists using the freeway were even more disappointed when they ended up lost or on the wrong road. There were no signs on the four-lane road showing traffic where to exit to reach Baxter, Hastings and the Western Port side of the peninsula. Signs showing drivers how to get to Mt Martha were also omitted. Few tourism signs were erected. In August 2013, Mr Billson said the Coalition government would contribute $175,000 to “refresh and update the ‘Tour Peninsula’ tourist directional signage and to correct location signage errors such as omitting the Baxter township”.

New direction: Federal Dunkley MP Bruce Billson said new signage will be installed on Peninsula Link in time for summer.

Last Wednesday, Mr Billson said “At last, the ‘green light’ has been given by state road authorities to install the much-needed and long-awaited Peninsula Link signs”. “Townships and ... destinations across the region will finally get the recognition they deserve,” he said. “The signs will make local popula-

tion centres and key points of interest easier for visitors to find and will help businesses.” Mr Billson said the signs would also improve driver certainty, traffic flow and township identification. In total, 32 new signs will be installed and 14 alterations made to existing signs along the freeway and

its approaches between the EastLink tollway intersection north of Seaford and Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Safety Beach. New township directional signs will be installed for Baxter, Langwarrin, Mornington, Mt Eliza, Frankston, Mt Martha, Cranbourne, Tooradin, Portsea, Somerville, Tyabb, Hastings, Flinders and Phillip Island. Mr Billson said there had been an “arm-wrestle over which tourist destinations were judged by VicRoads to be ‘regionally significant’. Signs will point to Frankston Arts Centre, Peninsula Aquatic and Recreational Centre in Frankston, McClelland Sculpture Park, and the Mornington Peninsula wine region”. In January he said there had been “unacceptable delays” in getting the signs installed. “This has been an exasperating experience.” Mr Billson said he was told signs had not been installed during freeway construction because they were not included in the original contract between the state government and Southern Way [Lend Lease] consortium. The PPP contract will have to be altered to reflect the installation of the signs. In 2013, Mr Billson blamed the state Labor government for not including a comprehensive signs plan when it signed off on the private public partnership with the freeway builder, which was managed by Linking Melbourne Authority.

In brief Clearing for gondola WORKERS from Parks Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire will clear plants and trees with brushcutters and chainsaws on and around the summit of Arthurs Seat for up to seven days from Monday 12 October. Parks district manager Libby Jude said the action was part of “fire preparedness works in Arthurs Seat State Park for the Skylift [gondola] project”. These “important works are required under the Planning and Environment Act as the park and Skylift project sits in a bushfire management overlay”. “Parks Victoria is partnering with the shire to undertake the works on land managed by state and local government,” she said. “An expert ecologist has been employed to oversee the works and identify clumps of native vegetation, which will remain in the park to the required defendable space standards.” She said visitors would see crews working with brush-cutters and chainsaws on the summit as well as the main picnic area north of Purves Rd. “Works will be undertaken by hand and by using specialist fire prevention equipment.” The shire’s manager of environment protection, David Dobroszczyk, said vegetation removal at the bottom gondola station would be “predominantly the removal of woody weeds, which also provides a good environmental outcome for the area”.

Peninsula eyes on WA incinerator tests David Harrison david@mpnews.com.au FIVE Western Australian councils are keen to see results of trials of an alternative waste treatment plant that includes an incinerator that generates electricity. The plant is designed to handle 33,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste a year for the five member councils, plus waste from the City of Stirling. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors voted on 14 September to send all shire waste off the peninsula to landfill but to continue a commitment to alternative waste technology, which is generally understood to include incineration of some domestic waste. The shire was forecast to send just more than 23,000 tonnes of waste to landfill in 2014, indicating that a plant the size of the one being built in Perth could deal with shire waste and take about 10,000 tonnes from an adjoining municipality. The World Bank estimates that, globally, the volume of municipal solid waste will rise in the next decade by nearly 70 per cent to 2.2 billion tonnes annually. In Victoria the state government has for some years encouraged recycling and recovery by imposing a landfill levy on councils. The five WA councils are members of the Western Metropolitan Regional Council group, which covers Perth

suburban Claremont, Cottlesloe, Mosman Park, Peppermint Grove and Subiaco â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most upmarket areas. They â&#x20AC;&#x153;aspire for a world in which waste is not a problem but an opportunityâ&#x20AC;?. The plant has been built by AnaeCo Ltd, which describes itself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a listed Australian technology developer and designer of advanced resource recovery and recycling systemsâ&#x20AC;?. It will recycle 75 per cent or more of household waste previously destined for landfill or incineration into valuable resources, AnaeCo states. This is slightly higher than the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 forecast of 70 per cent diversion from landfill by 2014. The WA plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s output includes biogas, â&#x20AC;&#x153;mature organic fertiliserâ&#x20AC;?, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and glass plus nearly a megawatt of electricity from a gas-fired generator that powers the plant, with excess power fed back into the grid. The WA government wants an end to landfills, or tips. as early as 2020, according to a Perth newspaper. Many Perth councils are turning to Waste to Energy (W2E) plants, which either burn waste or use other technology to convert it to energy. The AnaeCo plant is six kilometres from Perth CBD. It is owned by investment funds. Disclosure: The writer does not own shares in AnaeCo. The company was trading at 0.002 cents per share on 30 September.

Aaronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catch tops the scale WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S claimed to be a Victorian record blue fin tuna was caught just outside the Heads by a Mornington angler Wednesday. Abalone diver and keen fisherman Aaron Crocombe hooked his 163.65kg catch using a Pakula Mouse lure 9.30am and had it in the boat 20 minutes later. The regular big gamer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a member of Snapper Point Angling Club - was with mates on a Pro-line Charters boat out of Sorrento when the fish struck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was a big one but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to know how big until you get it in the boat,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put it up against another tuna already on board and realised it was a beauty. I was using a harness and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still a little sore.â&#x20AC;? Fishing since he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;knee highâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a serious game angler since 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mr Crocombe isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one to rest on his laurels: he was packing Thursday for a trip to tuna-haven Robe, South Australia, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where the big ones areâ&#x20AC;?. Snapper Point Angling Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Beasy said the tuna was the first caught from a boat out of Sorrento. He told The News of another fishy story: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The story goes that a larger one was hooked, fought for two hours, broke the rod and was lost at the boat the previous Sundayâ&#x20AC;?. Mr Crocombe is happy his was the one that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away. Stephen Taylor Record haul: Mornington angler Aaron Crocombe couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hide his smile when he landed this possibly-record-breaking blue fin tuna Wednesday.

Magpie danger zones on site Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au SPRING has sprung and so have magpies who swoop cyclists, joggers and walkers at this time of year in the mistaken belief people pose a danger to their newly born nesting offspring. Most magpie attacks are harmless apart from the shock some may feel when being swooped by the overly protective birds but some attacks cause serious injuries, especially to young children who are a vulnerable target of magpies’ ire. Those seeking to avoid any confrontation with magpies can now consult a website called Magpie Alert to see whether there have been any avian attacks in their neighbourhood. Sydney-based web designer Jon Clark says he had the idea to develop the site after he was swooped by an aggressive magpie while cycling in his hometown suburb of Bella Vista. “I got swooped while I was out on my bike and I had a look for information online and there were little bits here and there and a few little maps but nothing near where I lived,” he said. “Being a web developer by trade I just thought I would do something for everyone. It’s been going gangbusters, it really has.” People can log magpie attacks and send the information to the Magpie Alert site. In this way attack ‘hot spots’ are identified if repeat attacks are logged by several victims. Mr Clark said about 150 attacks per day are logged with Magpie Alert at this time of year and he reads every

Cliff rescue after fall: A LANGWARRIN man, 17, was rescued by

police helicopter after he fell down a Mt Martha cliff, 2pm Monday last week, and sustained an ankle injury. The Police Air Wing winched him to safety from the bottom of a cliff opposite Margeurita Av. His friend, 17, also from Langwarrin, stayed with the injured man until help arrived.

single one to ensure they’re the real deal before the information is posted online. Any bad language about magpies at such an emotive time for the attacked is moderated by Mr Clark before comments are uploaded making the site family-friendly. The Magpie Alert shows there have been magpie attacks that caused injury in Mornington, Mt Eliza, Mt Martha, Somerville and Crib Point this year. There have also been attacks along the Peninsula Link trail in Frankston. Mr Clark said statistics collated by his site showed there have been 600 injuries nationwide this spring, accounting for about 14 per cent of overall attacks. “Anything with wheels seems to be more of a target – cyclists, young kids

on scooters or small bicycles – the magpie just seems to attack.” The web guru has put together the Magpie Alert site in his own spare time and a recent redesign has seen online traffic soar with the use of Google Maps to illustrate where attacks occur and the ability to log in to the site using Facebook and Twitter to spread messages about attack sites. Mr Clark said he may design an app for smartphones and the Apple Watch in future but “it depends how much time I get”. See magpiealert.com to view magpie attack details.

Nursing home raided Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au RESIDENTS at a Mt Eliza nursing home slept on as their lodgings were raided by thieves last weekend. Mornington’s Detective Senior Sergeant Nick Vallas said thieves entered 20 separate units at the Osborne Ave premises and pilfered small items, such as iPads and mobiles, cash and jewellery, from eight of the units. None of the elderly residents was disturbed in the overnight raids. “There were no confrontations,”

Detective Vallas said. “Nothing of great value was stolen.” But the sense of violation felt by the residents can cut deep. “They feel threatened and violated in these circumstances,” he said. “It’s especially annoying when thieves prey on the elderly.” Detective Vallas said Mornington crime prevention officers had visited the home to advise on improved security measures. Anyone with information is asked to call Mornington police, 59781400.

Luke Batty’s death ‘not foreseeable’ Steve Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au A CORONER’S inquest into the death of Tyabb boy Luke Batty – and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy – has found that it could not have been predicted. Judge Ian Gray said in a 111page finding released on Monday that the 11-year-old’s death “was not reasonably foreseeable by anyone – including his mother, Rosie Batty”. But Mr Gray noted that circumstances leading up to the event were exacerbated by “a failure to engage [his father Greg] Anderson in the family violence system and make him accountable for his actions”. He also stated: “Luke’s death, from the practicable point of view, was not preventable from the time he entered the cricket nets to practice with his father.” The Flinders Christian Community College boy was killed by Mr Anderson after cricket training at Tyabb reserve in February last year – an event described by the Coroner as the “tragic death of a young life full of promise”. Mr Anderson was shot by police and died later in hospital. Mrs Batty was at the ground at the time and, after querying her son as to his feelings about being left alone with his father, agreed later she “knew he never believed his dad would ever hurt him, by physically hurting him”. She said she supported Luke having a relationship with his father.

Mr Gray found that Mr Anderson had murdered his son, and that the death was preceded by years of fam ily violence perpetrated by him on Luke and his mother. He said he was unable to determine the reason for the killing, but noted from Mrs Batty’s evidence that Luke was growing older and wished to withdraw from his father, and that Mr Anderson realised this and wanted to exert control over his son. Evidence to the Coroner that Mr Anderson had a delusional disorder was accepted, but without evidence from a full psychiatric assessment it was found that “no finding can be made with certainty about whether Mr Anderson suffered from any particular mental illness or how he might have been treated”. Mr Gray added: “No person or agency could have reasonably been expected to foresee that Mr Anderson would be that rare perpetrator, nor Luke the rare victim, of a violent filicide.” Chelsea police could have detained Mr Anderson after they spoke to him at a residential address about an alleged violent incident three weeks before he murdered his son but were unaware of five warrants out for his arrest at the time. The coroner noted: “The Chelsea police officers were not aware of the unexecuted warrants because they were not on LEAP. This was a major system failure and yet another lost opportunity to bring Mr Anderson

to account.” LEAP is Victoria Police’s Law Enforcement Assistance Program used by police officers to log incident reports. Mr Gray did note Mr Anderson could have been released on bail by 12 February - the day of Luke’s death - even if he had been arrested by Chelsea police. Mr Gray made 29 recommendations, including that the State of Victoria seek to accurately identify a person’s risk of being the victim of family violence, and a perpetrator’s risk of repeating family violence. Others referred to whether greater weight should be given to the victim’s own level of fear in assessing the risk posed to her and her children. Mr Gray welcomed an expected overhaul of Victoria Police’s methods in treating family violence cases, including the roll out of a Risk Assessment and Management Panels to better assess risk, in the aftermath of the tragedy. He also recommended that all agencies within the family violence system be “sufficiently supported” to provide training and professional development so they can provide realistic and effective violence risk assessments. He described Ms Batty as a compelling witness who clearly was a “loving, careful and thoughtful mother”. “Her decisions were completely motivated by her deep love for her son.

UNDENIABLY charming, this lovely property is surrounded by established gardens and tall leafy trees that provide exquisite shade and privacy.

Four are set in the front section of the home and share two bathrooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one with a bath and separate toilet, the other has a shower, toilet and single

basin, whilst the main bedroom has delightful French doors that open out to a timber verandah, and other features including a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with spa bath. A massive lounge and dining room has an open fireplace, and the rustic timber kitchen boasts a professional stainless-steel oven with gas cooktop, a dishwasher, and a wall of cupboards that provide plenty of storage options. The adjoining casual meals area is nicely set into a bay window affording a pleasant view of the garden. The decor is tremendously effective with soft shades on show in every

room and furnishings, and wonderful leadlight windows, that complement all aspects perfectly. Set on a fantastic 1134 square metre block, the slightly elevated home also offers plenty of off-street parking for boats and trailers, with a four-car garage featuring a handy outdoor shower â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with hot water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great for those return trips from the beach.

BIG DOLLARS - a group of six shops along Nepean Highway, Frankston that sold at auction for over $6,000,000

Investors feast on food and retail establishments SIX shops, owned by one family estate, at 428 to 432 Nepean Highway, Frankston have sold to property investors at auction for $6,118,000. The sale represents an average yield of 5.73% with all shops leased to long standing tenants; Cashmart, Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Lingwah Restaurant, Ginseng Restaurant, Tandoori Dawaat Restaurant and The Paintspot. Director of Nichols Crowder, Michael Crowder, who marketed the property and conducted the auction on the day explained that with significant government and private investment coming into the area, this will further underpin the properties growth and potential well into the future. Mr Crowder also explained that four of the six tenants had been in possession for over 30 years and that there was rarely a vacancy at rental prices deemed modest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are good prospects for rental growth in the future.â&#x20AC;? He said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The investment market in Frankston, and the Mornington Peninsula is very strong, in this low interest rate environment.â&#x20AC;?

Youth Exchanges Are you interested in learning a new language or meeting new people? Rotary Youth Exchange is the opportunity of a lifetime for the more than 8,000 students who participate each year.

International Exchange Student The Rotary Club of Rosebud-Rye is hosting an international exchange student for the second successive year.

Camilla said teenagers in Italy were also friendly, hugging and kissing one another.

Camilla Santoro, 17, comes from Brescia, between Milan and Verona, in Italy. Camilla speaks four languages -Italian, English, Spanish and Mandarin. She plays volleyball and is a member of the Rezzato scout group and an Interact club.

Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Brescia Vittoria Alata, Camilla will spend three months with four host families on the Southern Peninsula. She was inspired to become a Rotary exchange student by the experience of others and her wish to see another part of the world. Camilla enjoys living close to the beach and thinks 0HOERXUQH LV Â´DZHVRPHÂľ

Eye catching: Baluk art works on display at Mornington centre.

Baluk artists off to fly the flag ARTISTS from Mornington’s Baluk Arts will attend the inaugural Tarnanthi Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, 8 October, in South Australia. Baluk is the only Victorian Indigenous art centre to attend the festival, which aims to cast new light on the art of our rich and diverse indigenous cultures. The non-profit arts organisation in Bruce St is owned by Aboriginal artists from Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and wider south-east Melbourne. They come from diverse backgrounds from all over Australia and their artworks reflect themes of identity in a contemporary cultural context.

Through Baluk Arts, family groups and members of the “stolen generation” have reconnected with their culture and are able to express their histories through strong artistic practices to support their cultural and creative well-being. Baluk Arts encourages community development, youth leadership, participation and interaction, and Indigenous governance through innovative arts practice. They feel the Tarnanthi Festival is a great opportunity for Baluk artists to reach new audiences and meet other Indigenous artists and art centres. Those interested in assisting with costs should call 5975 5000.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

New Buick touring cars arrive in Mornington Compiled by Melissa Walsh A DANCE will be held in the Langwarrin Hall on Wednesday evening next, given by the members of the Langwarrin Social Club. *** WORD has been received by Mr G. Shepherd, of Somerville, that his son, (Wheeler Frank Shepherd) is ill in the hospital at Malta. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their usual Somerville market on Wednesday next, when they will offer horses cattle, pigs, poultry and sundries. A good yarding is expected. *** A meeting of the Somerville Patriots’ League will be held at Somerville, in the Horticultural Hall, on Monday evening, for the purpose of electing officers, and general business. *** MR A. Rivett, of Somerville, met with a nasty accident a few days ago, while driving some sheep that were trespassing out of his paddock. He tripped and fell on his shoulder on a stump. On a visit to Dr Maxwell on Monday it was found that he had fractured the cap of his shoulder bone with partial dislocation of the joint. *** IN consequence of the cancellation of the 4.37pm train to Frankston, on Saturday, on and after today, (9th inst) the mail on that day will be due per train as under :— Mordialloc, 4.46 p.m; Aspendale, 4.50; Chelsea, 4.5 ; Carrum, 5 4; Seaford, 5.7 ; arriving at Frankston at 5.14 p.m.

*** AN illustrated lecture will be held in the Somerville Horticultural Hall, on Tuesday evening next, under the auspices of the local Red Cross Society, entitled “Wattle Time”, or “Yellowhaired September”, by A. J. Campbell Esq. The lecture will be illustrated by 70 superb views—Songs will be rendered during the evening. *** THE Peninsula Motor Garage, Pty. Ltd. notify by special advertisement that they have secured four new up to date “Buick” touring cars, and having secured the services of two first class mechanics, are prepared to execute all repairs entrusted to them. They are also agents for the Buick cars, and are prepared to sell same, the prices of which are quoted in advertisement. *** MESSRS T R. B. Morton and Son will sell at their rooms, 72 Swanston street, on Thursday next, at 3 o’clock, 155 acres at Bittern, situated two and a half miles from Bittern Railway station, opposite Seagrove Estate. Also at the same time, 55½ acres of land fronting the Narrican Creek, being Crown allotment 178, Parish of Moe, Gippsland, situate two miles from railway station. *** THE news of the death of Mr Charles Martin, of Frankston came with something of a shock to the residents as he always appeared to be a strong healthy man, and during his residence of some 8 years in the district he enjoyed the best of health. It appears that a few

days before his death he contracted a severe cold, which developed into pneumonia, from which he gradually sank and died on the 23rd, at his mother’s residence, Essendon. He leaves a wife and two sons to mourn their loss. *** THE contractor for the addition to the Mechanics’ Hall, Frankston, has finished his contract, and the building as it now stands is quite an ornament to that part of the town. The additions are done in brick with red tiled roof and consists of two large rooms in front of the old building 22ft x 21ft each, with a hall 22ft x 8ft between them. One of the rooms is intended to be used as a library, the walls of which are surrounded with shelves, on which there will be ample room to store the present library with considerable additions thereto. The second room can be used as a committee or reading room. At the rear of the building and abutting on the stage an additional room, 11ft x 14ft has also been erected, which will be found of great convenience to concert companies as a retiring room. Each of the new rooms have a fireplace in them, and gas installed, and when properly furnished will prove of great benefit both to the public and to the committee. *** VICTORIAN School Children pay for Half a Hospital. The Defense Department is establishing a Hospital at Caulfield for wounded soldiers. The Executive Committee of the Education Departments’ War Relief Fund at its recent meeting unanimously

decided to give £10,000 towards the erection of Wards, — these wards to be named “The Victorian State School Children’s Wards.” Each of these wards, 24 in all, will cost from £800 to £1000 to build and equip, so that the offer of the school is to pay for practically half the hospital. At the very least the young patriots will be providing for 300 wounded. Miss May Cox the secretary to the fund, clearly points out that the children will have a special interest in their own men, and it is certain these will not go short of comforts. From October 2nd to October 9th each school in the State will make a special effort to raise the balance of the sum voted. The week will be known as Hospital week. Last season 20,000 leeches were supplied to Melbourne hospitals by Victorian State School children, who donated the cash gained, to their School Patriotic Funds. Dr J. A. Leach organised the movement. The Doctor is now appealing for 6,000 additional leeches to him care of Teachers’ Training College, Grattan street, Carlton. He also wishes to inform frog collectors that their market is glutted, and he trusts they will turn from “frogging” to “leeching,” *** A large crowd gathered at the Somerville Stadium on Saturday night to witness the bout between the two lightweights “Wingie” Meldrum and “Queenie” Lewis, as a ding-dong “go” was expected. Meldrum entered the ring fit and

well and turned the scale at 9st 8lbs. Lewis turned it at 9st 4lbs and appeared rather nervous. J Webb acted as timekeeper, while S. Meldrum and “Pluto the Groom” were Meldrum and Lewis respective seconds. Billie Hutch was promoter, while “Bill” Lang acted in a capable manner as referee. The contest was very onesided; Meldrum landed his blows with effect, while Lewis hit out wildly (for home). However, Lewis went down in the 3rd round, and Bill Lang counted the (Euroa) Don out, and amidst cheers, declared “Wingie” the winner. *** A well-attended working bee was held at the Rosebud Recreation Reserve when new gates were placed in position and a considerable amount of clearing was done. The Committee hopes that with continued support, the reserve will be made an attractive resort for both residents and visitors. During an interval, refreshments were served by some of the ladies, whose efforts in this direction were much appreciated by the workers. Should the improvement of the Reserve be far enough advanced by the Christmas holidays, it is probable that the grounds will be “officially opened” at a Sports meeting in aid of the Rosebud Patriotic Fund, and some donations have already been promised for that purpose. “Advance Rosebud.” From the pages of the Mornington Standard, 9 October, 1915

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

The long and short of shorts By Stuart McCullough THE birds are chirping, the scent of cut grass fills the air and – low and behold – the blue sky has finally emerged from its winter hibernation. There’s no denying it: spring is finally here. Hooray! For a time it seemed as though winter would never end. As if art and real life were getting all mixed up and some kind of Game of Thrones-style epoch-enduring cold snap would be with us forever. And then, just like that, the veil was lifted and sunlight poured in. I, for one, could not be happier. Goodbye over-sized jumpers, hello t-shirts! Hats, sunglasses – I love so many of the accoutrements a warmer climate has to offer. There are limits, naturally. I know that some people love to wear shorts. I am not one of those people. As a consequence, almost no one on Earth as ever seen my legs. Rest assured for those who have imagined what they might look like, they are whiter than white and, if viewed with the naked eye, may inflict significant damage to an unprepared retina. Indeed, they’re so pale as to be nearly luminescent. In an emergency, ships could be guided to shore, using my exposed legs in place of a lighthouse. Frankly, I’m doing all of you a favour by keeping them hidden. As a result, I have never been and am unlikely to become a shorts-wearing champion. My problems with shorts began, like most problems, in childhood. While some might argue that shorts have a long (ironically enough) and proud history, the nineteen seventies must

PAGE 30

surely constitute a dark chapter that even the most ardent of short defenders must concede is a stain on their reputation. In actual fact, the seventies pretty much waged war on trousers generally, regardless of the length of leg involved. But the shorts were particularly memorable. They reached half way up your torso, almost render-

Southern Peninsula News 6 October 2015

ing the need for a wedgie redundant. There was a split at the side to reveal more flesh than the hem would otherwise permit. And then there was the piping, glorious piping, swimming around the edge of the garment, framing the middle of your body. Somewhere along the line, piping went out of fashion if, indeed, it was ever in

fashion to begin with. Maybe that’s where my aversion to shorts began. Granted, I wore them at school, but always felt vulnerable. There is something inherently unnerving about shorts. They require eternal vigilance lest you should end up revealing more of yourself than you ever intended. Wearing shorts to school was something done under sufferance while wearing long pants all year round was a recipe for disaster; guaranteed to mark you out as some kind of freak. I wore shorts to conform rather than for comfort. For me, finishing school wasn’t just about reaching adulthood. It was about never having to wear shorts again. My father, however, had a different view. There are two types of adult shorts: the casual and ‘the special occasion’. The former involves pretty much anything with two leg-holes that doesn’t fall down in public. The latter is a very different beast. Possibly a warthog. Or a Wildebeest; albeit one that’s impeccably groomed but a Wildebeest nevertheless. My father was once fond of formal shorts; the kind that require a belt (preferably white) and look like they belong to a suit that comes with a Pith helmet. Were it up to my father, he would doubtless describe them as incredibly stylish. However, he has no say in that matter and I, in stark contrast, would describe his formal shorts and nothing short of horrifying. Even with the benefit of hindsight, to say nothing of extensive therapy, I cannot think of a situation where formal shorts are required. Under what circumstances is it

appropriate to wear an item of clothing with all the inbuilt pageantry of shorts with a belt and still expose your hairy kneecaps? The cold hard truth is that no such event exists. Not now. Not even in the nineteen seventies. Perhaps my father’s shorts weren’t shorts at all. Maybe they were a time machine. It just might be that when I saw my father strut out into the living room in his formal shorts, complete with belt and replete with a threat to leave the house and inflict this image on the world at large, I saw the future. This, I would have concluded, is what the future holds for me. I decided right then and there that I would do everything in my power to avoid such a fate, even if it meant strapping on a pair of 501s on a forty-degree day. Discomfort is a small price to pay. Now that the warmer months have arrived, there will be all kinds of pressure. If the weather permits, next time I’m in Tyabb, my father will drag the two inflatable boats down from the shed. Christened the ‘Canoe Reeves’ and the ‘Salma Kayak’, these two vessels will be pressed into service on the lower dam. He keeps them, I suspect, just in case he wants to go up a certain creek without a paddle. But it’s not for me. Piloting the Canoe Reeves would necessitate a change of clothes. Piloting a boat demands either short pants or flared trousers. The long and the short pants of it is that I just can’t bring myself to do it. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

The Red Hill – Merricks Rail Trail By Lorraine Aitken Tucked away in the hinterland of Red Hill is a well-worn trail that predominately follows the former train line from Red Hill South - Merricks station ground. It is popular with walkers, mountain bike riders and (to my children’s delight), horses. The 6.5km trail starts from behind the Epicurean Centre in Red Hill South on a wide dirt trail that slowly descends and takes in views across undulating farmland, vineyards and Western Port until you reach the turnaround point or coffee stop at the Merricks General Wine Store. As the name suggests the trail was formerly a train line which originally ran between Bittern and Red Hill from 1921 – 1953 to transport stock, timber, fertiliser, firewood and produce such as apples, pears and strawberries to the city markets. Although the Southern Peninsula only had an estimated population of 1,500 people in 1912, the annual turnover of 12,000 head of stock and 12,000 tons of farm produce mixed with poor roads saw the need arise for a train. In 1915 permits for the train line were granted, however it wasn’t until after World War One that works began and the line was offi-

cially opened in 1921. The advent of motor transport led to the line being unprofitable as passenger numbers declined substantially from 1929 and services were reduced until the train line eventually closed in 1953 before being dismantled in 1955. Over time a section of the train line became private property and there is a slightly steeper deviation to the original trail. The relaxed pace of this trail is perfect for families looking to enjoy the countryside without the effort of finding suitable trails for bush-

walking with strollers. Although the trail surfaces varies somewhat with gravel, dirt, crushed rock, grasses and at times mud you will still get a three wheeler pram along the trail without too much difficulty and older children will enjoy riding their bikes. When we were on the trail we spotted giant bright red toadstools among a blanket of pine needles, horses in nearby paddocks trotted up to the fence line to greet us, some cows were enjoying the lush pasture, wild rabbits that seemed fairly tame,

rows of vines, an array of native flowers, locals enjoying a stroll with their dogs and a few horse riders that stopped to say hello before trotting on down towards the equestrian grounds at Merricks. Despite there not being any bushland as such there is plenty to see along the trail and it’s always nice to have the kids out in the fresh air exploring the environment and challenging them to remember some of the local history learnt along the way. To further the history lesson you

need to look no further than the Merricks General Wine Store which was built in 1924 to provide locals with supplies. The Mornington Peninsula Cellar & Pantry was the original post office and the Epicurean Centre was the packing shed for apples that were taken to Crib Point and shipped. The Red Hill – Merricks Rail Trail has an important historical place in the development of the Mornington Peninsula region and is well worth an afternoon stroll.

Music  Arts  Food KATIE NOONAN’S GRAND ENTRANCE NATIONAL TOUR KICKS OFF AT THE GRAND MORNINGTON ON 15TH OCTOBER One of Australia’s most respected and sublime recording artists, Katie Noonan, has released her latest album, ‘Transmutant’, and is heading off on a national tour that kicks off in Mornington. An ethereal body of work, it introduces audiences to Katie Noonan’s Vanguard, bringing Katie back to the band environment where she started her career as an 18 year old, a backdrop where she acknowledges, she feels most comfortable. Fans received an initial taste of ‘Transmutant’ from a teaser single earlier in the year, a haunting track called ‘Peace is My Drug’. The album takes in a lot of sonic terrain, from the slow-build of opener ‘Falling Into A Lie’ to the layered percussion of lead single ‘Quicksand’, through the back-and-forth of ‘In The Name of the Father’ (a duet with rising star Jordan White from Playwrite) and the playful percussion of the closing ‘Cloud of Home’. Katie explains that the album’s inspiration was two-fold – as the album title suggests, it personifies a shift, a change - to mutate. It’s the musical realisation of a journey,

of the personal changes that she’s gone through over the past few years. It was also a chance for her to connect deeply with her audience through her crowd-funded Pledge campaign (which reached it’s target in under 48 hours) and to really take the reins as a producer to create a lush cinematic world that reflects her various muses. Overall, a process that has really empowered and inspired her. “The Captains had electronics in that there were samples and stuff, but this explores that world a little more. I bought this very cool vintage drum machine and we played around with a lot of vintage keyboards and synths – it’s been about opening up the sound a little more.” Katie Noonan’s Vanguard comprises Katie, The Captains bandmates Stu Hunter and Declan Kelly, plus a new face in New Zealand guitarist Peter Koopman. ‘Transmutant’ comes to life via an extensive national tour that kicks off at The Grand Mornington on 15 October.

centennial concert events.

2015 marks a special year as the most loved entertainer of all time Frank Sinatra will be celebrated worldwide with a series of commemorative

Doomed duo: Romeo (Zachary Thomas) and Juliet (Gretel Sharp) seal their love for each other with a kiss as Dionysus Theatre’s storytellers Sam (Madeline Rintoul) and Greg (Mitchell Sholer) watch from afar, feeling they have to do something about the lovers’ fate in Shakespeare’s play. Picture: Rebecca Benson

LOVE IS ALL AROUND ‘IN THE ROUND’ FICTION’S two most famous star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are coming to Frankston next month thanks to a Dionysus Theatre production of Shakespeare’s passionate and tense tragedy.

In a post-modern twist, Sam and Greg become players in the story and try to save the doomed titular lovers. For centuries, Romeo & Juliet has been the love story by which all others are measured, and even though so many of its elements are outdated, extreme and unrealistic, it is as relevant today as it was more than 400 years ago.

Romeo & Juliet will be staged at the McClelland College Performing Arts Centre in early October and director Emma Sproule is looking forward to bringing the tale of the two lovers caught between the feuding Capulet and Montague families to life.

Dionysus’ twist to this tale shows that it still today remains the greatest love story ever told and it continues to be told because that is the power of a great story – the power that we never tire of sharing and living them; even when we know how they will end.

Those who already know the story of Romeo & Juliet will still find the Dionysus Theatre take on the Shakespeare play unique. “Ours is an interpretation that focuses on the power of the story and how timeless it continues to be as we introduce two storytellers, Sam and Greg, who weave in and out of the story in order to heighten our appreciation and understanding of its effect on us, even though we know from the very beginning exactly how it has to end,” Ms Sproule said.

Romeo & Juliet will be performed ‘in the round’ at McClelland College Performing Arts Centre, 26 Alexander Crescent, Karingal, 2-10 October, 8pm. Tickets $30, $25 concession, group booking discounts. See dionysustheatre.com.au for full dates and booking information.

SALON DES REFUSÉS Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery THE exhibition described as the “irreverent and playful rabble-rouser of the Archibald’s” the Salon des Refusés” is coming to Victoria – and Mornington – for the first time.

Talking point: Paul Trefry’s Homeless still human work is of silicone, fiberglass, polyester resin and horse hair. It was a Wynne Prize entry.

The exhibition showcases what’s described as “the ones that got away” – meaning those artworks that were not granted a showing in the famous Archibald Prize. They include a prized selection of the “humorous, innovative, mad, bad and dangerous entries that were too fabulous to resist”, say Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery organisers, who take delight in hosting the only showing in Victoria. The works, torn from obscurity, include portraits of Robert Forster, Catherine Martin and Carlotta, sculpture of a homeless man by Paul Trefry that was shown in the Wynne landscape prize, portrait of Greek Consul-General Dr Starvos Kyrimis, as well as Christopher Pyett’s sensitive portrait of Australian of the Year, Rosie Batty. The Salon des Refusés was begun by the S.H. Ervin Gallery, in Sydney, in 1992, in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald and

Wynne prizes not selected for hanging in the official exhibition. Each year a panel is invited to go behind the scenes to select the best from the many works entered, but not chosen, for the official awards. The criteria for those selected in the Salon are quality, diversity, humour and innovation. The S.H. Ervin’s Salon des Refusés exhibition has established a reputation that rivals the selections of the “official” prize exhibitions and is often cited as a “more lively

and discerning” selection, the gallery says. It will run 10 October-29 November at the gallery in Civic Reserve, 350 Dunns Rd (corner Mornington-Tyabb and Dunns Rd), Mornington. Tickets are adults $7, with Mornington gallery and other Victorian gallery members, concession and National Trust Members $4 and children under five free. There is free entry for seniors during the Victorian Seniors Festival, Tuesdays 13, 20 and 27 October.

After years of domination from Sorrento, the baton was handed over to Rosebud, the 2015 premiers. Rosebud was the most consistent side all season, while its grand final opponent, Somerville, was undoubtedly the most exciting side of season 2015. It was a fitting grand final. However, despite the fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been just two weeks since the cup was held aloft, attention has quickly turned to the 2016 season. Right now, coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; phones are running hotter than any other time of the season. This is a snapshot of what the coaches would be looking for. Rosebud: First and foremost, the Buds need to find themselves a coach. Just one applicant for a job that saw the seniors win the flag, the reserves go into the second week of finals and the Under 19s losing two matches in two seasons. The Buds also need to find replacements for their best two players, Jason Bristow and Rob Forrest, both of whom found the travel difficult. Star forward Tom Baker is being hotly sought-after by Sorrento. Somerville: The Eagles just need experience. Some cool heads to control the excitable list. A mentor for coach David â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Buddaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hirst would also be a welcome recruit. No offence at all to the guys on the bench now, however, a fresh, experienced set of eyes to support Hirst on the field and off it would be the best recruit the Eagles could get. Look likely to lose Cal Dixon but have secured bull Ben Crowe. Expect a major signing later this week. Sorrento: The Sharks have lost three of their best players in Troy Schwarze (retired), Tyrren Head and Leigh Poholke (Karingal). They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy to replace. Talk is Daniel Grant and Myles Pitt would like to travel. Jon Croad will become the dominant player in the competition in 2016. Rosebud premiership coach Nick Jewell takes the reigns. Sorrento always lands a big name or two and this pre-season will be no different. Luke Tapscott is coaching the Under 19s. Red Hill: The Hillmen are just so close to challenging you can taste it. The Hillmen need a key forward, tough, experienced midfielder and a ruckman. If the boys on the hill can land those, as well as keep their list (talk is B&F winner Paul Wintle is considering retirement), they will head to the third week of finals in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;16. Word is they are close to getting the ruckman they are looking for. Hastings: Hastings wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a happy place at the end of the season. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required is for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be there to disappear and those that do put their heads down and have a crack. Taylor and Kain Stratton go to Crib Point. The Blues keep Shaun Foster

PAGE 36

and Matt Clifford and word is they have some â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; connections that might help the Blues land a few more. Rye: The Demons need to find depth. As the 2015 Team of the Year suggested, their top-end players are elite and the best in the competition. Throw in the likes of Brady Egan, who is also elite but just missed out on the best 22. A ruckman would be more than handy, as would another key defender. They need Ben Holmes to do a preseason and be right for the year. If not, they need a key forward also. Devon Meadows: The Panthers were the big improvers of 2015, especially in the back half of the season. A ruckman is the number one priority for the group, while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking for more improvement from some of the teenagers who played in the reserves flag. Expect some recruitment news at this club. Frankston: The Bombers will kick of their year on Good Friday at Frankstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kars St Oval. Former Carlton and Brisbane Lion Brendan Fevola will be the drawcard. The Bombers need some key position players. Sam Drake, their best player, is heading overseas. Coach Beau Muston would have realised just how far off his side was in 2015 and what needs to be gained in the off-season. Dromana: Expect the Tigers to improve in 2016. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair though to simply assume that everyone who left the club is going back because favourite son Rikki Johnston is coaching. The fact is players are getting well paid elsewhere (and played in premierships) and the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; probably canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to get them back. Their Under 19 premiership team was littered with stars and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to rebuild. Pearcedale: The Panthers kickedoff the pre-season announcing Chris Irving as assistant coach. There will be some other names to add to this list in the coming weeks and coach Jamie Merchan is confident of landing some big fish. Merchan has a very clear strategy and the recruitment of kids is high on the agenda. Troy Jacobson and Alex Harnett return from Dolphins and Lachy Marshall has recommitted. Crib Point: There will be a buzz around the Magpiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camp this preseason with a new coach in Taylor Stratton. The Pies were ravaged by injury this season and were a massive slider in 2015. If they can maintain their list and get them all through a pre-season, the Pies should enjoy a rapid rise in 2016. Tyabb: The Yabbies had a year of building up the cash reserves. Hosting the finals would have given them a nice cash injection. However, no point having the money if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get recruits. The Yabbies need to land themselves a coach with a profile who can bring some players along for the ride.

By Toe Punt FRANKSTON YCW made it five Peninsula League premierships in six years last Sunday. The big question coming from the mouths of spectators and opposition clubs as they were walking out of Kars St Oval was “how do we compete”? It’s a very good question. Mt Eliza may have finished as minor premier but Frankston YCW was clearly the best side in the competition in 2015. Going into the finals, we were all hopeful of a challenge but deep down, we all knew the final result would be 10-goals plus. It was 87 points. Clubs now get to work over the coming months to build a plan to challenge the Stonecats. YCW will lose some players to opposition clubs, however they have strong reserves and Under 19’s chomping at the bit for an opportunity. The champs will also look to bolster their stocks with some recruits. The Stonecats have pockets and flankers that would walk into most team’s midfields. They have key position players standing on a wing. Fact of the matter is that YCW will not slide – they’ll be the benchmark again. Personally, I think all clubs are playing for second again at this early stage. Here’s what the other clubs will be looking for to try and bridge the gap. Mornington: The Doggies need another key forward to support Jackson Calder. Dale Whelan is a genuine leading forward but the Dogs need another weapon inside the attacking arc. Defensively they structure up well with Miller, Nolan, Symes and Haddock. A couple of 6.2’ runners would be handy. Mt Eliza: The Redlegs have reappointed coach of the year John Georgiou and now they need to lock in their existing stock. Justin Van Unen is a key, as are the likes of Lobardozzi, Gill, Booth, D’Orazio and Landry. The Redlegs need to add a genuine ruckman. They also need to get Scott Lockwood up and going again. Another key defender and forward would be icing on the cake. The Redlegs season came to a halt when Lockwood went down with a knee. Edi-Asp: The Eagles need some players with some body size. The team is gifted in terms of talent but light on. Good on the spread but pushed off the footy in close. Can’t afford to lose the likes of Kremmer, Garth, Tagg, O’Hanlon, Clark, Meehan and Mullins. Need another big key defender,

ruckman and a couple of mids to allow Mavric and Tim Mannix to play on flanks. Pines: As much as we’d like to see Guy Hendry play at a higher level, Pines can’t afford to lose him. They have arguably four of the best 10 players in the comp in Beau and Guy Hendry, Aaron Edwards and Luke Potts. The Pythons are brilliantly coached by Pat Swayne. Depth is the issue and they just need to add some B-graders to bolster the list. A full back would be handy too and another genuine gun midfielder. Brad Kiely from Langwarrin/Dolphins signed with the Pythons on Wednesday. Langwarrin: Most important thing is to appoint a coach. Clubs are circling Langwarrin and if they don’t lock someone in soon, they could be in strife. The club needs to build around the likes of Gerard Brown, Matt Naughton and Nick Hammill. The club needs to be given some life. Bonbeach: The Sharks lost a heap of players in the 2014-15 off-season, however, still managed to compete very well. They need some height and some class. There is a lot of grunt in the team but some genuine star factor is required. Seaford: Seaford has to be congratulated. They cast the net far and wide for a coach and spoke to anyone and everyone. They have landed with three time grand final coach at East Brighton Ben Murphy. There is nothing but positiveness in-store for the Tigers. A few recruits, which Ben is sure to bring, along with Rourke Fischer, and they are back in the mix for a finals berth again. Chelsea: The Gulls are yet to reappoint Brent Guerra at this stage. One wonders whether the investment in an AFL premiership player could be better spent on building on the list with a handful of recruits. Todd Gardiner is a star but he needs support. Rosebud premiership pair Rob Forrest and Jason Bristow have been linked with the Gulls. Karingal: The most exciting club of the pre-season so far. The Bulls have landed Sorrento premiership players and 2015 Team of the Year stars Leigh Poholke and Tyrren Head. Former star Bulls Duncan Proud, Cal Dixon and Chris ‘Cocky’ Hay are also being linked. Head has a shoulder and this will be a concern. On Wednesday night the Bulls signed Seaford youngsters Mark Czarnecki and Rhys Chadwick, along with Matt Tarr. Anthony Joel has also returned from Rye.

New HiLux: tougher, more refined and more Australian than ever TOYOTA has released the toughest HiLux ever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a new-generation range that combines impressive global advances with extensive local development and evaluation designed to conquer the most severe operating conditions in Australia. Almost every aspect of the eighth-generation HiLux has been strengthened, including a thicker frame, stiffer body, new high-torque turbo-diesel engines, advanced six-speed transmissions, beefed-up suspension and brakes, and expanded off-road ability. Towing capacity is now up to 3.5 tonnes and payloads are up to 1240kg â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with 23 of new HiLuxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 31 variants confirmed as genuine onetonners, including all 4x2 variants and all 4x4 single and extra cabs. At the same time, the latest HiLux offers SUV-like features including a more compliant ride, quieter cabins and higher levels of comfort and convenience with standard air-conditioning, touch-screen display audios, cruise control,

more supportive seats and power-operated windows, mirrors and door locks. New HiLux also has a distinctive Australian flavour with Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local engineers undertaking an unprecedented six-year program that delivered a new rugged suspension package, enhanced underbody protection, and electronic control systems tuned for more effective operation on gravel and during off-road driving. More than one million kilometres of testing, including 650,000km in Australia, has confirmed the performance, reliability and durability of new HiLux over the widest possible on-road, off-road and climatic conditions. A new family of high-torque turbo-diesel engines is headed by a 2.8-litre version with maximum torque of up to 450Nm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a gain of 25 per cent compared with the previous 3.0-litre engine. Its 2.4-litre sibling also generates higher torque of up to 400Nm.
