Featuring Greg Malouf

A feast for the senses in Sorrento SORRENTO will be hosting its fourth mouth watering food and wine event with a week long feast of gourmet activities aimed at indulging both the tastebuds and the senses. The program includes a variety of gastronomical delights including master classes, cooking demonstrations and tastings, themed lunches and dinners, gourmet menus, wine, beer & more. We are pleased to announce in 2013 guest Michelin Star chef and ‘modern middle Eastern Master’ GREG MALOUF. Formerly of Mo Mo restaurant in Melbourne, and until recently highly acclaimed Petersham Nurseries in Richmond England, Greg Malouf has achieved acclaim through retaining the Michelin Star status through his modern approach to traditional middle eastern cooking. Greg has co-written six acclaimed cookbooks, and is greatly sought after around the world for Master Classes and guest chef appearances, so to have him at Taste of Sorrento for both a Master Class and dinner on Saturday, 1 June is an “absolute coup”, says Natalie Garner, Event Manager and Business Development Manager of Sorrento Portsea Chamber of Commerce. Bookings for the master class can be made at www.trybooking.com/CPJU ($45 per person) and unfortunately the banquet dinner with matched wines at The Baths has just sold out. Get in quick for the masterclass if you don’t want to miss out! Sorrento is also very lucky to lay claim to a Top 4 Masterchef Professional in Michael Demagistris who is Executive Chef at the Sorrento Golf Club.

Shire wants extra 5.9% By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire has released its draft budget for the coming financial year, 2013-14. The council is proposing to increase rates by 5.9 per cent and the municipal charge for every rateable property by $20 to $180. Last year’s rate increase was 3.9 per cent with the municipal charge up $10 to $160. The municipal charge is not included in the rate rise. Rates and charges will yield $129.5 million, and the opt-in green waste bin

service will bring $2.17 million. The council said the net cost of services for 2013-14 was expected to be almost $103 million, an increase of $7.6 million over last year. Almost $31 million will be spent on capital works with $26.5 million coming from rates and charges, $1 million from loans and $3.4 million from external grants and contributions. The draft budget states maintenance will cost $1.4 million but will provide “$5.6 million per annum of enhancements� including “increased township cleaning programs including addi-

tional street sweepingâ€? and “additional cleaning of pits, stormwater culverts and pipesâ€? as well as “additional sports field maintenance and upgradesâ€?. Other items include: ď Ž Continued implementation of fire management strategies. ď Ž Completion of the green wedge management plan. ď Ž Continued implementation of fire management strategies. ď Ž More money for coastal management plans. ď Ž Development of the Rosebud activity centre and Point Nepean Rd landscape

Early start for young drinkers A SURVEY has revealed that most young people on the Mornington Peninsula are using alcohol by the time they are 15. The alcohol usually comes from home, although many youngsters say they have bought alcohol from liquor oulets. Deakin University researcher Dr Bosco Rowland said children who were not allowed to have alcohol at home before they turned 18 were less likely to rebel and drink while underage. “Research shows that in families where parents set a rule that children are not to use alcohol, rebellion tends to be limited to the children having a few drinks behind their parents’ backs and there are much lower rates of underage alcohol use,� Dr Rowland said. “However, in the families where the parents allow moderate alcohol use their children are more likely to rebel with heavy and harmful alcohol use.� Dr Rowland said 62 per cent of young people on the peninsula were using alcohol at 15. “When asked where they obtain their alcohol, they commonly reported getting it from home, but in some cases from retail outlets,� he said. “The earlier a young person starts using alcohol, the more likely they are to experience injuries and harms, im-

paired brain development and alcohol problems later in their life. “The evidence is very clear – in communities where underage youth find it difficult to obtain alcohol, there is less youth alcohol use and fewer alcoholrelated injuries, assaults and deaths. “Communities with less youth alcohol use have higher rates of school completion.� Dr Rowland said adults, including parents and those working in liquor outlets, should not supply or sell alcohol to children under 18. “People working in the alcohol industry should always ask for age identification before selling alcohol to

Age no bar to ills of alcohol A TEAM from Peninsula Health has developed Australia’s first program to reduce alcohol harm in older people. The program developed by the Older Wiser Lifestyles Team (OWL) identifies and works with people aged between 60 and 96 who are at risk of alcohol-related harm. “Three months after a brief intervention by the OWL team, individuals, on average, halved the amount of alcohol they had previously consumed,� team leader Simon Ruth said. “Using international research, the OWL team developed an alcoholrelated problems survey, which was placed in a range of health care venues, including many GP clinics. “Each individual completing the survey received a report outlining potential risks as well as strategies to reduce them. A team member then followed up with a phone call, encouraging fur-

ther engagement with the program.� Mr Ruth said up to 30 per cent of older Australians were at risk of health problems related to alcohol. “The risks for older people are different to those of young drinkers. Older people are more likely to be taking multiple medications, have other health issues, be socially isolated and experience change in physiology – all of which affect the way alcohol is metabolised,� Mr Ruth said. “We want to raise awareness of the risks associated with alcohol use by older people, and work with them to reduce their alcohol consumption and related illnesses.� The OWL team is one of five finalists in the running for a $10,000 development grant in this year’s HESTA Primary Health Care Awards. HESTA a superannuation fund for health and community services.

CAFES and restaurants on the Mornington Peninsula are being urged to let diners and customers know if the food they order contains ingredients likely to cause an allergic reaction. Provision of the information is one of the criteria the shire uses for food businesses to be listed in its Best Bites Good Guide. Environmental health officer Peter O’Brien said food allergens must be labelled in accordance with the Food Standards Code and information about eight allergen groups made available to customers on request. “We also encourage that they put symbols or notes on their menus for common allergen groups such as gluten and lactose.� Mr O’Brien said one in 10 babies born in Australia will develop a food allergy and the shire has added allergy awareness as a compulsory part of its Best Bites assessment program for food businesses. “A food allergy is an immune system response to a food protein that the body mistakenly believes is harmful. When a person eats food containing the protein, the immune system releases massive amounts of chemicals, triggering symptoms that can affect a person’s breathing, gastrointestinal tract, skin and/or heart,� he said. Symptoms of food allergy included hives; swelling of the lips, face and eyes; swelling of the tongue; breathing difficulty; abdominal pain; vomiting or a sudden drop in blood pressure. Mr O’Brien said businesses could call the shire for a free CD containing

Students watch for when earth shakes STUDENTS at Rosebud Secondary College are standing by to record any movement of the earth. The college has one of 40 seismometers installed in Australian schools to monitor earthquakes and raise awareness of geoscience. “The seismometer can detect meteor strikes, wave actions, local traffic and even landslides,” the college’s head of science Yuri Setnik said. “We are excited about the opportunities for our student to see and use real data in their science classes. “It will bring earth sciences alive to see earthquake data from our area and compare it to other data from other earthquake stations around the world.” The Australian Seismometers in Schools project will see students at Rosebud look after their own seismometer as part of a national science experiment. The project aims to:  Raise community awareness of regional earthquakes.  Raise awareness of seismology and, more generally, geoscience as a field of study.  Promote science as a possible career choice.  Provide a tool to help teachers teach physics and earth science to secondary school students. Similar projects are underway in the United States, Italy, Ireland, UK and France. The students will have access to a website showing real-time earthquake recordings for local and global earthquakes.

Council dissent over ‘strategic’ plan and sustainable, while providing services and infrastructure that respond to community expectations at an affordable cost.” The plan would ensure the peninsula remained among the most sustainable and liveable regions. It set out a wide range of objectives under eight strategic goals: 1. Liveable Peninsula – to be “near but not part of Melbourne” (and its accelerating growth) and to preserve the highly valued amenity of our natural and built environment. 2. Enhancing public places – to enhance the look, feel and function of towns and villages, open spaces and infrastructure. 3. Improving community facilities – to ensure they reflect the needs and expectations of communities. 4. Climate change – to address flood and fire risk, and reduce the carbon footprint, water usage and waste of council operations and the wider community. 5. Enhancing the coastal experience – to protect and enhance opportunities to enjoy the coast. 6. Healthy, safe and connected com-

munities – to promote a culture of community harmony, wellbeing and a sense of safety and belonging. 7. Supporting a sustainable economy – to foster an innovative business community and promote the agricultural and rural sector. 8. Innovative, responsive, value for money service provision – to optimise value for ratepayers through efficient, effective and innovative service delivery. The council plan had been prepared after “extensive input from local communities through our Plan Peninsula program”, which had recorded the “aspirations, priorities and concerns” of more than 1500 residents and ratepayers. Councillors Bev Colomb, Hugh Fraser and Tim Rodgers expressed concern about the plan during debate. Again the spectre of how the shire was going to pay for the proposed multi-million dollar aquatic centre at Rosebud was raised. Cr Colomb said the plan should contain a “ballpark figure” for the cost of the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA).

two SPA sites had not yet been presented to councillors. Tim Rodgers said there had been no specific community consultation on the strategic plan. He said the plan contained environmental, social and economic elements but there should be a fourth prong – cultural. There also was no climate change policy “and we need a wholistic approach to climate change”. Councillors Anne Shaw, Antonella Celi, David Garnock and Frank Martin said there had been a huge amount of input from the community for the strategic plan via the Plan Peninsula meetings last year. Eight of the 11 councillors agreed to put the plan on exhibition with Crs Bev Colomb, Tim Rodgers and Hugh Fraser dissenting.  To download a copy of the plan or make an online submission visit: www. mornpen.vic.gov.au/Draft_Strategic_ Plan Written submission can be sent to: Chief Executive Officer, Mornington Peninsula Shire, Private Bag 1000, Rosebud 3939.

She said there were two lots of $6 million for SPA proposed to be borrowed but “where are the rest of the funds coming from?” Councillors had been told it would cost varying amounts – $32 million, $34 million – and the plan should clearly identify the cost of big ticket items, she said. Cr Colomb said she had worked on strategic plans for organisations much smaller than the shire and “they had more detail than this”. Shire CEO Michael Kennedy alluded to the coming federal election and next year’s state election, implying there could be government money for SPA. Hugh Fraser said SPA had been increased to 10 swimming lanes and a larger footprint “but we still don’t know the cost” or if it would be built on the foreshore or at Wannaeue Place. (Last September the shire bought Rosebud Central shopping centre in Wannaeue Place and two adjacent properties in Ninth Ave for $5.87 million as a possible alternate site for SPA.) Cr Fraser said a report comparing the

Ms Limpens said this was a “challenging time” for the council to be developing its strategic plan. She stated Melbourne’s growth was accelerating, the climate was changing, the economy was evolving and the peninsula’s population was ageing. “Council needs to address these challenges, and many others, to ensure the peninsula is liveable, affordable

Bid to delay pool fails By Mike Hast SHIRE councillors are still bitterly divided over the proposed multi-million dollar Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) at Rosebud. Another attempt to delay the project was made at Mornington Peninsula Shire’s council meeting on Monday, with some councillors glaring at colleagues and others making impassioned speeches to let the project proceed. Cr Hugh Fraser submitted a plan to accelerate the repayment of shire debt – from $37.5 million to $23.25 million by mid-2017. This included not borrowing $12 million for SPA, $6 million next year and $6 million the year after. His plan was defeated 6-5, the same result as all other council votes on SPA made since Environment Minister Ryan Smith on 25 January 2011 gave the shire “coastal consent” to build it on the foreshore. In March, Cr Fraser submitted a plan to cut debt from what he said was $48.2 million to $20 million by mid2017. The higher figure included $10.8 million for the shire’s superannuation “black hole”, which must be paid by 1 July this year. (Victorian councils owe about $400 million for former and current employees’ superannuation. Most of the shortfall occurred during the final six months of 2011 “due to investment market volatility”, according to the Municipal Association of Victoria. The super plan for local government employees was a compulsory scheme from 1982 and was closed to new members in 1993.)

Cr Fraser’s plan included doing nothing about SPA until after June 2017. This was rejected but councillors agreed to ask for a plan to accelerate the reduction of debt. On Monday, Cr Fraser told the council and about 40 people in the gallery he had accepted that cutting debt to $23.25 million instead of $20 million was easier to achieve as it would not require the sale of shire assets or penalties for early repayment of loans. It would enable the shire to fulfil its current commitments including paying the superannuation shortfall, he said. Supporting Cr Fraser’s plan, his Nepean Ward colleague Tim Rodgers said shire debt was a contentious, difficult and challenging issue. This was a call to arms; a tough decision that would set the shire on a new direction – “to live within our means” as the current debt was unsustainable, he said. Anne Shaw said she was not prepared to support Cr Fraser’s plan “until we get all information and have a proper, informed discussion”. Graham Pittock said it was “a genius of a plan”. “The debt was too high when I joined the council in 2008,” he said. It would be $53 million by the end of July. “We only need to save 4 per cent of our revenue of about $180 million a year.” There would be some belt-tightening but “it won’t kill us”. David Gibb made an impassioned speech in a strident voice: “We debated SPA in March [when the Fraser plan was first revealed] when Cr Fraser tried to make it difficult [to progress the aquatic centre].

“This is still about SPA,” he said. The shire had “modest borrowings” and Cr Fraser’s debt reduction plan was “precipitous and flawed”. “This council does not have a debt problem.” After the meeting, Cr Gibb said the Fraser proposal was “attempting to fix something that’s not broken”. He said the state Auditor-General, the Treasury Corporation of Victoria and the shire’s audit committee “have all reaffirmed our low-risk, highly sustainable finances”. Financial ratios such as debt to rate revenue, debt to total revenue and debt to cashflow had been classified as “green light” ratios, he said. The shire had $1.8 billion of assets. Each year, it was paying off interest and part of the principle owed. City of Greater Dandenong was borrowing $38 million to build its new council offices and Frankston Council was borrowing $21 million to build its aquatic centre, he said. (Frankston is building a $47 million aquatic centre, including a 50-metre pool. It has $12.5 million from the state government and $13.5 million from the federal government.) “A council’s capacity to repay its debt is important” and the shire had the ability to repay debt, he said. Supporting Cr Fraser, Bev Colomb said there had been a rapid increase in debt in the past 3-4 years. The world and the nation faced an uncertain economic future; not borrowing more meant the shire would not have to pay more interest. We should be showing the commu-

nity that we are doing all we can to keep debt down, she said. The shire was still paying for things produced a long time ago. David Garnock said Cr Fraser’s plan was “designed to kill off SPA once and for all”. “I haven’t been fully briefing about the funding options for SPA. We don’t need to make this decision now,” he said. Crs Antonella Celi and Frank Martin also opposed the plan. Cr Celi said the shire was in a sound financial position and debt would still be reduced by 2017. Cr Martin said the council could discuss the funding of SPA in 12 months’ time. “This [plan] is to kill off SPA and is not about debt,” he said. Andrew Dixon, who campaigned against SPA at last year’s election, said he supported Cr Fraser’s intention but “we don’t need to make this decision now”. The council had just been through a gruelling budget process where tough decisions had been made, he said. Cr Fraser summed up, saying the council had passed a powerful resolution in March to accelerate repayment of debt. The superannuation debt of almost $11 million was in the new budget and reducing overall debt meant that “if we get another [superannuation] bill, we’ll be in a better position to pay it”. Voting for the plan were Hugh Fraser, Tim Rodgers, Graham Pittock, Bev Colomb and the mayor, Lynn Bowden. Against were Anne Shaw, Andrew Dixon, David Garnock, Frank Martin, David Gibb and Antonella Celi.

Tip plan to shire, EPA THE controversial plan to turn the disused Pioneer quarry on the Arthurs Seat escarpment at Dromana into a municipal rubbish tip, or landfill, was submitted to the shire council on Wednesday. An application to the Environment Protection Authority for a works approval permit was also submitted. It is the start of the real battle after a “phoney war” fought since January when the proposal by Peninsula Waste Management, a company owned by the R E Ross Trust, first came to public attention (“Arthurs Seat tip plan”, The News, 24/1/13). The news saw the formation of a lobby group to oppose the $20 million proposal that will see about 3.8 million cubic metres of household and other rubbish placed in the old quarry off Boundary Rd, Dromana. Objectors are worried about contaminated water leaking from the site, noise, smell, fire, leaking methane gas, extra truck traffic and loss of property values. David Maltby of Peninsula Waste Management said the EPA had 120 days to make a decision and Mornington Peninsula Shire 60 days. “The next stage is to ensure the EPA has all documentation it needs.” The two authorities would then put the proposal on public exhibition and call for submissions from the public. The News understands the shire will not make a decision on the planning application until the EPA has completed its appraisal. Mike Hast

Link speed cameras yet to click By Mike Hast PENINSULA Link freeway opened on 18 January but its six fixed speed cameras are still not working, depriving the state government of revenue and forcing police to patrol the road and book speedsters. In last year’s Budget, the government allocated almost $10 million for the cameras but they were not installed before the road opened because freeway builder Abigroup restricted access as it rushed to complete the freeway on time after more than two years of above-average rain. On Tuesday, a Department of Justice spokesman told The News the cameras had been installed but “were being commissioned”. “A vigorous and comprehensive testing regime under live traffic conditions will take place before any camera is switched on,” the spokesman said. “Testing will begin once the commissioning phase is complete. “The road safety cameras will be switched on when, and only when, Victoria Police and the Department of Justice are completely satisfied the system is ready.” In late February, the department reportedly said drivers would be given notice via roadside signs. “An announcement about the switch-on date will come later in the year.” The six cameras on the 27-kilometre freeway between EastLink tollway in Carrum Downs and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway at Mt Martha are in pairs, all in Moorooduc – one in each direction at the Loders Rd flyover, Mornington-Tyabb Rd off-ramps and Eramosa Rd West flyover. The cameras will function as instantaneous cameras as well as point-to-point units. Installed by Melbourne-based company Redflex, the point-to-point cameras photograph a vehicle’s number plate as it passes the first camera, which is then compared with the plate of the vehicle as it passes the second camera. The average speed is calculated and any ve-

Freeway bridges ‘safe’

Road worriers: Peninsula Link freeway has been open for more than three months but speed cameras like the ones under the Eramosa Road West flyover at Moorooduc (inset) are still not operating.

hicle with an average exceeding the limit will receive a fine. The government’s website Cameras Save Lives states the Peninsula Link cameras “encourage safe driving behaviour for the length of the freeway”. “In 2011, the Auditor-General found that crashes on freeways are likely to have serious road trauma consequences, due to large traffic volumes and high speed. “Road safety cameras on Peninsula Link, and those in operation on other main highways ... ensure drivers comply with speed limits and prevent unnecessary trauma on our roads. The road safety cameras on Peninsula Link, along with direct policing, support safer roads and safer driving behaviour – ultimately, saving lives.” A police spokesman said patrols would continue to enforce speed limits while the cameras were being tested.

Redflex is a South Melbourne-based company founded in 1997. It provides vehicle monitoring and enforcement services to government, police and traffic departments and operates primarily in Australia and the United States. It makes fixed multi-lane, multi-sensor red light and speed enforcement cameras, mobile radar and laser speed enforcement systems, and infringement processing software. The US division of Redflex has been embroiled in a corruption scandal involving the City of Chicago over alleged improper payments to a city transportation official since late 2010. Its market capitalisation has been reduced by more than 50 per cent since October 2012. Redflex blames the alleged corruption on its US subsidiary and its employees without the knowledge or involvement of staff at the Australian parent company. 

CLAIMS three Peninsula Link bridges are unsafe have been rejected by freeway authorities Southern Way and Linking Melbourne Authority. Total Building Construction managing director Chris James said he warned the two bodies that large blue metal decorative panels had not been correctly attached to at least three bridges over the new freeway including where it goes over EastLink tollway. Mr James, who claims he is owed $1.5 million by freeway builder Abigroup, said some panels had a “high probability of a collapse”. But Linking Melbourne Authority said there was no safety risk to drivers. All bridges had been inspected and signed off by an independent reviewer prior to the freeway’s opening in January this year, the authority said.

Ticke on-s ts a NOW le !

Roundabout way to lobby pollies THERE seems to have been little response to a sign calling for motorists to “lobby your polly� over the need for a roundabout on Nepean Highway at the top of Balcombe Hill in Mt Martha. No calls have been received at the offices of either Mornington MP David Morris or Nepean MP Martin Dixon, although Mr Morris said it had been mentioned in several responses to a questionnaire he had distributed. A sign near the top of a tree facing motorists approaching the intersection along Forest Drive names Cr Anne Shaw, Mr Dixon and Flinders MP Greg Hunt as the politicians that need lobbying. The troublesome intersection is outside Mr Dixon’s electorate but lies within that of Mr Morris, who said he would contact VicRoads about changing speed limits on the approaches to the top of the hill. Cr Shaw said one person had raised the issue with her but there had been no calls. “Council officers are talking with VicRoads about what is suitable there,� she said. “I raised the matter with our [Mornington Peninsula Shire] officers but what is needed is very much an engineering thing, involving sight lines

and all sorts of other things to consider. “Traffic over the hill is quick and it’s something that certainly needs looking at.� Cr Shaw said traffic problems on this section of the highway were “compounded� further down the Mornington side of the hill by the Uralla Rd intersection. Ongoing efforts were also being made to keep the highway bike lanes free of stones and other debris that forced cyclists to ride in vehicle lanes. Keith Platt

Green bike lane for Rosebud WORK to place a green surface on the existing bicycle lane along Point Nepean Rd at Rosebud started this week. The project will see VicRoads contractors close off access from side roads to Point Nepean Rd at various times between Wednesday 15 May and mid-June when the majority of the work will be completed. The green surface is being installed between First and Seventh avenues, and will cost $264,000. The project includes installing extra signs at some of the intersections to warn drivers of the bike lane.

Rod Baker of VicRoads said work would be conducted at night where possible to minimise the impact on traders and shoppers. This would involved about three nights on weekdays with access closed between 9pm and 6am, he said. The work would be done in stages and detour signs would direct drivers around closures. One lane of Point Nepean Rd southbound would be closed at various times. VicRoads has sent letters about the work to traders and residents in “The Avenues� precinct.

IMPORTANT COMMUNITY ALERT

WARNING

“NO TIP FOR THE ARTHURS SEAT ESCARPMENT, DROMANAâ€? When the Ross Trust (Owners of Peninsula Waste Management and Hillview Quarries) purchased the Old Pioneer Quarry at Boundary Rd Dromana, it was with the knowledge that the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council had in 1996 chosen the site as a preferred option for the next tip. Instead of protecting the environment they are prepared to create a Dz Çł for future generations to clean up and manage. PWM would have us believe that they are doing the community a favour by having a tip at this site. Do not believe it, they are only interested in the financial gain. In 1998 the Mornington Peninsula Regional Waste Management Group was formed and they have continued to actively promote the s ite ever since. They have not been progressive and proactive in seeking up to date alternative methods. The MPRWMG has only ONE member Council, namely the MPSC, and 5 MPSC Councillors are directors of the Group. ‘™ impartial will they be when it is time to consider an application for the tip? The EPA have already given tentative approval (subject to a works approval) for the site to be used as a tip even though the site does not meet all its siting guidelines. Š› have they ignored their own guidelines?

The use of so called “best practise technologyâ€? for the liner may be applicable in normal landfill sites, however this site has extremely steep sides and its base approximately 25 metres below the existing water table. It will be a case of trial and error with this site. Šƒ– will the errors cost the community when things go wrong? The proposed tip site is at the head of “Sheepwash Creekâ€? which flows into the Bay. Any leachate leakage not collected will end up in the Bay. The Draft Risk Assessment for the site admits that there is likely to be some leachate leakage through the liner, this is even without considering what happens if there is a liner failure. Leachate is a –‘š‹… ˆŽ—‹† with an unknown chemical makeup. Its composition depends on the type of waste being dumped. The tip is located on the boundary of the Arthurs Seat State Park. Šƒ– will be the impact on the native fauna with an increase in vermin, seagulls and windblown rubbish? The nearest dwelling is according to the Draft Risk Assessment only 480 metres from the tip cell, this is under the required EPA distance offset of a minimum 500 metres. There are 21 registered bores within a 2 km radius of the site. What will the impact be on these with the continual groundwater extraction at the tip site? Peninsula Waste Management state that ABOUT 70 trucks per day will use the site. Given that the expected tonnage deposited will triple within 3 yearsÇĄ Š‘™ many trucks will this be? Also Š‘™ many trucks will be used in the delivery of lining and cover material? Šƒ– will the impact be on Boundary and Collins Road then? Certain sections of Collins Road are already dangerous. The Draft Risk Assessment highlights 2 high risk and 18 medium risk elements. These include litter in the waterway, vermin, odour and leachate leakage to groundwater. Š› are these being ignored? Peninsula Waste Management believe that the tip will not have an visual impact on neighbours, they obviously have not been to many neighbouring properties. No compensation mechanism exists for neighbours who suffer from property devaluation as a result of the tip.

Sheepwash Creek runs through our property and serves as a source of stock water together with feeding a large wetland and bird habitat. Any form of toxic poisoning to Sheepwash Creek would jeopardise the health of our cattle. The impact of poisoning to the wetlands would be devastating to the birds and animals that use them. We do not want to see Dromana becoming known as the Dz Çł of the Peninsula. We urge the community to rally against this ill advised, illogical and ill conceived proposal. Let the Ross Trust, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Councillors, Local Members of Parliament and the EPA know that you are concerned that the legacy this will leave future generations is not worth the short time gains if any. Please help us fight this plan before its too late. Put in an objection to the planning application.

Lease plan for the Point By Keith Platt THE historic quarantine station precinct at Point Nepean may be leased to a commercial operator. In a letter to “stakeholders”, Dick Ford, Department of Environment and Primary Industries project director, said the state government has started a process for the long-term lease to a “private investor or operator”. He said the latest master plan for Point Nepean National Park, near Portsea, “will guide investors in the development of proposals”. Expressions of interest for using the 17 hectares around the quarantine station would be “marketed locally, nationally and internationally”. Mr Ford said many of the 50 buildings at the site “hold heritage and cultural significance and should be maintained and preserved”. Applications responding to the call for expressions of interest would be shortlisted and then invited to submit formal proposals.

“The government is determined to strike the right balance between preserving the historical, natural and cultural values of Point Nepean National Park and making sure that the buildings within the park are used for a purpose that meets market demand,” Mr Ford stated. “It is envisioned that private sector investment and the outcomes of this project will support a year round, vibrant tourist destination with a range of uses that preserve and enhance the experience of key historic buildings and the rich history of the quarantine station.” Flinders MP Greg Hunt has said he hopes “education will be at the centre of any use for the quarantine station” and has urged Melbourne and Monash universities to establish “a joint educational facility” at the site. He criticised the previous Labor government’s plans for a hotel at Point Nepean and “commercial exploitation”.

Craft stall: Members of the former Handmade by Multicultural Women group return to Mornington next week with a new film and more of their creations for sale.

‘Sisters’ return for free screening THE Handmade by Multicultural Women group that came to Mornington in March to show a film and sell goods handcrafted by its members has a new name, SisterWorks. A logo designed by renowned graphic designer Alex Stitt (‘Life. Be in it’, ‘Slip! Slop! Slap!) is based on a multicoloured Southern Cross, symbolising the many nations and cultures

of SisterWorks’ members. “The logo tells our story clearly and simply, and gives us a professional image,” SisterWorks executive officer Lus Restrepo said. “The association will seek as many new members as possible both from volunteers and SisterWorks workers.” Members of the group will return to Mornington on Tuesday 21 May for a

screening of the Colourfest Multicultural Short Film Collection. They will also be selling craftwork and baked foods. The free screening is from 6.30-8.30pm in the Mornington Peninsula Shire offices, Queen St, Mornington. Call 5950 1685 or email: spcd.admin@mornpen.vic.gov.au

Hearing test on freeway MOTORISTS could be forgiven for checking their instrument panel because of a noise change when travelling along the Mornington Peninsula Freeway between Latrobe Pde and Lonsdale St, McCrae. The change is caused by the low-noise road surface being trialled on one kilometre of the freeway by VicRoads. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the new surface cost $1.1 million and was the first stage of the trial. “Most road traffic noise is generated by the interaction of vehicle tyres with the road surface,” he said. The different road surface treatments will be monitored to assess their effectiveness to reduce traffic noise.

Time to laugh BONEO Lions Club is holding a comedy festival to raise money for the CFA on 15 June at the Southern Peninsula Arts Centre.

Meeting’s ceremonies and films to mark reconciliation MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire is holding a community dinner including an Aboriginal smoking ceremony, dancing and didgeridoo playing as part of its lead-in to this year’s National Reconciliation Week. The dinner will be part of Mornington Peninsula Shire’s 27 May meeting and follows a talk by Dolphin Research Institute executive director Jeff Weir and an “update” on The Briars Park management plan. The smoking ceremony will be performed by the shire’s Aboriginal cultural heritage officer Adam Magennis with a traditional welcome from Boon Wurrung elder Carolyn Briggs. Djarren Wilson-Blow and friends

will play didgeridoo and dance. The night at New Peninsula Church in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha, will also hear from former councillor Brian Stahl, who last year was awarded the Tjaegan Wilson-Blow Award for having worked toward reconciliation on the peninsula. This year’s award will be presented in July during NAIDOC Week. The mayor, Cr Lynn Bowden, said council adopted its commitment to reconciliation in 2008 and organised events and activities such as council presentations, film screenings, NAIDOC Week activities and flagraising ceremonies to raise awareness of Aboriginal culture. Anyone wanting to attend the dinner

can call Kylie Osborne on 5950 1137. Three days after the dinner, the shire will launch and screen a documentary about Ms Briggs by Mt Eliza filmmaker Tim Purdie. In Womindjeka, Ms Briggs tells about her connection with country. The Recognising Reconciliation night will also feature a screening of Bush Law, a documentary on Aboriginal and mainstream law working together to reduce crime. It was produced by Danielle Loy. There will be indigenous arts and craft stalls, music and displays as well as a welcome from Ms Briggs. Mr Purdie, a graduate of Footscray City Film School who runs Teepee Media, has worked on short films,

independent feature films and corporate videos. He said the inspiration for Womindjeka came after meeting Ms Briggs. “I was mesmerised by her storytelling. She shared with me some of the indigenous history of the Mornington Peninsula, an area where I grew up and now live,” he said. “It left me questioning why this was the first time I had heard these stories. I felt that it was important that they continue to be told and shared.” Celebrating Reconciliation starts at 5.30 on Thursday 30 May at the shire’s Mornington office. Entry by gold coin donation or call 5950 1685.

Kidney patients get holiday treatment ROSEBUD Hospital’s dialysis unit provides a little-known boost for tourism on the Mornington Peninsula through its holiday program for kidney patients. In 2012, the unit completed 351 holiday treatments and this year looks set to break the record. While most holidaying patients come from Melbourne, the unit has regular visitors from interstate and others from the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The unit allows people who cannot normally travel for more than two days without treatment to have a break with their families. The unit has been nominated for a Kidney Health Australia’s Operation Angel awards. “It is exciting to be nominated. We work really hard to provide our

patients with this opportunity so it is nice to be recognised,” Rosebud dialysis and chemotherapy unit manager Andrea Sutton said. The unit has been nominated for its holiday program under the award category “organisation supporting people living with or affected by a kidney condition”. The program has about 45 regular patients who can book to use the dialysis service by phone, email or online through the Peninsula Health website. The unit has received more than 40 award nominations from patients, family members and staff. The results will be announced on National Kidney Day, 26 May. Treatment time: Staff at Rosebud Hospital’s dialysis unit with patient John Ipenberg.

Coastal awards NOMINATIONS are open for the Victorian Coastal Awards for Excellence 2013, which recognise individuals, groups and organisations working to conserve and protect coastlines. The outstanding volunteer achievement award last year went to Rosemary Birney for her work on the Somers Foreshore Committee and as a member of Friends of South Sea Somers Foreshore Reserve. Bernie McCarrick received the outstanding lifetime achievement award for work at the Port Phillip and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar site. Nominations for this year are open for natural environment; education; coastal planning and management; coastal building and design; community action and partnerships; and individual achievement. Information and nomination forms are at www.vcc.vic.gov.au or call 9637 8893.

Wintry winds, rain and frost can play havoc with poorly maintained investment properties. Prevention is much better than cure, and it is therefore important to assess any potential or existing issues at the property before they escalate. In determining if your property is ready for winter you should take into consideration the following: Gutters. One of the most common winter household maintenance issues is clogged gutters, which can cause leaking and water damage. Landlords should ensure that gutters are free from leaves, twigs and other debris. Heating. (QVXUH WKDW WKH KHDWHU KDV EHHQ VHUYLFHG RQ D UHJXODU EDVLV DQ\ ÀOWHUV DUH FOHDQHG Fences. Fences should be well maintained and secure. Check that footings are stable and fence panels or brush fences are in order. Landlords should check with other property owners if shared or boundary fences are in need of repair as there may be a joint responsibility. 5RRÀQJ DQG HDYHV Check for cracked or loose roof panels and tiles as these can cause leaking and water damage. Look for rotting or water damaged eaves which can lead to salt damp and mould on interior and exterior walls. 7LOHV DQG SDYHUV &UDFNHG WLOHV DQG à RRU SDYHUV VKRXOG EH UHSODFHG DQG UHSDLUHG DV WKH\ PD\ SRVH D OHJDO OLDELOLW\ ULVN LI D WHQDQW WULSV DQG LQMXUHV WKHPVHOYHV 7UHHV DQG VKUXEV. Prune loose or dead branches and check if there are any branches that have a dangerous overhang.

IS YOUR PROPERTY READY FOR WINTER

At routine inspections you can be assured that we will comment on any obvious signs of deterioration, however it is important to note that during these inspections, we cannot access all areas of the property (ie. roof), therefore it is recommended that you regularly employ the services of a building inspector to give you professional building advice as to any potential issues.

Mike O’Neill & team join the expanding Eview group It is with great excitement we announce to our valued clients that we have joined the dynamic and forward thinking real estate group, Eview Real Estate Partners. Eview placed 20th in the top 50 leading real estate agencies throughout Australia in recent awards run by Australian ‘Real Estate Business Magazine.’ Joining Eview, the new ofÀce aims to change the real estate landscape on the Southern Mornington Peninsula. This new alliance provides all our clients with access to the most upto-date marketing resources, strategies, comprehensive print and digital marketing available. It will also make us one of the largest sales, property management and administrative teams present on the Mornington Peninsula. Well entrenched in the area the move to ‘Eview Real Estate Partners – Southern Peninsula’ is expected to open up new doors and create plenty of op-

eview.com.au

portunities for buyers and sellers alike. Principal of Eview Southern Peninsula, Mike O’Neil, would like to let you know how the change will improve real estate services on the Southern Peninsula. Who are Eview Southern Peninsula? We are a dedicated team of real estate professionals – from Ros my Business Partner, Kate - OfÀce Manager, Jim - Sales Manager, Jo and Kyra in Property Management, through to Sarah and Fiona in OfÀce Administration – all of whom share a common view offering a high level of customer service that brings real value and personalized service to our customers. Why the change to Eview? At Eview I sensed a really positive culture, energy, team spirit and purpose. We wanted a stronger regional presence and the brand transition from being a standalone ofÀce to forming an alliance with a progressive regional group Àts with the exciting growth

forecast we have for the region over the next 3 – 5 years. What is your forecasting for the region? We are already seeing a signiÀcant impact on property prices and increased demand as a consequence of the recently opened Peninsula Link. Our ofÀce is positioned at the gateway to the Southern Peninsula in Dromana, combining local knowledge and experience to offer a wide range of services to buyers and sellers alike. Where is the next big opportunity? Most probably anywhere along that strip of land beachside of the Mornington Peninsula Freeway with development potential, particularly smaller lots for dual occupancy. However, any properties in our region with a view or in walking distance to the beach are highly sought after. Consumers are realizing how close we are to Melbourne with the improved transport links, so I’m forecasting

a demographic shift toward more owner occupiers in our region - this will signiÀcantly impact pricing. When is the best time to buy on The Southern Peninsula? Seasonal variations in both available properties and pricing are increasingly a thing of the past. We now see consistent demand throughout the entire year. The Southern Peninsula is a lifestyle decision not just a destination. It’s such a great place to enjoy the bay, the natural surrounding and the Peninsula’s many attractions. Mike also went on to say the next two months would see signiÀcant changes to the Eview Southern Peninsula building creating a modern and inviting atmosphere to service both clients and new business real estate partners who join the exciting and highly rewarding new model. The ofÀce location is located at 171 Point Nepean Road Dromana, so if you are in the area, please call in for a coffee and chat.

SOUTHERN PENINSULA NEWS realestate 16 May 2013

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Miss Joyes qualifies as a teacher; planning for Empire Day celebrations Compiled by Matt Vowell From the pages of the Mornington Standard, May 17 1913. AS announced in our advertising columns, the Deaf, Dumb & Blind Entertainers intend visiting this district shortly, and will give entertainments at Somerville, Flinders, Balnarring, Hastings, Mornington, Dromana, Tyabb, and Frankston on May 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 21, and 27 respectively, and as most of us are already acquainted with this unique and talented Company, something good may be expected. Mr Tainsh, an old favourite, will be heard in some of his best items, whilst his illustrated songs are always a feature of the programme, especially “The Fireman,” with moving picture illustrations. Mr Anderson, a master of the violin and piano, will give selections on these instruments, and his musical sketch, showing what can be done with the piano in case of emergency, is in itself worth the price of admission. As is usual with this company, they keep thoroughly up to date, carrying with them one of the finest bioscopes, and some of the latest films will be exhibited, including modern picture dramas, fascinating picture comedies, industries of the world, and some pleasing comic slides, the star film, “After Fifty Years,” or “The Golden Wedding,” having been awarded First Prize in the Cinematograph competition. We can heartily recommend this company to the public, not only for the reason that these afflicted are so creditably helping themselves, but on account of the high merit of the entertainment. Mr S. Croad will sing at the Choral Society’s concert to-night. ***

ON Wednesday next, Mr A. H. Gregory and Mr W. Gregory sail in the ‘Canberra’ for Brisbane. Their many friends will wish them a pleasant voyage. *** THE secretary of the Frankston football club acknowledges with thanks the following donations:-Mr Schultz £1 ls, Mr Sage 14s, Dr Maxwell, Mrs Gregory and Mr H. Bray 10s 6d each, Mr S. Sherlock 5s. *** QUITE a stir is caused through the announcement that Australia’s Harry Lauder, Mr Arthur Douglas, will entertain the audience, with his Scottish impersonations at the Mechanics’ Hall to-night. *** MISS M. V. Joyes, of Dromana, who for the past twelve months has been on the temporary staff, has passed the necessary examination, and is now a duly qualified teacher. *** LADIES desirous of joining the dressmaking class organised by Mrs G. Ward, of Mornington, are requested to hand in their names on or before the 20th inst. For full particulars see our advertising columns. *** MERCHANT’S Royal Pictures will be shown in this district during next week on dates as advertised in another column. The proprietor has made arrangements with Spencers’, and a high class programme of pictures will be shown. The star subject next week will he ‘Shamus O’Brien,’ founded upon the famous poem by Samuel Lover. *** MORNINGTON councillors were fa-

vourably impressed with the proposal of Cr Campbell, to erect a dam near his property for a water supply for Mornington. Crs were conveyed to the site in Cr Campbell’s motor before the meeting, and at the meeting Cr Grover asked that his motion be deferred until full particulars of Cr Campbell’s scheme could be obtained. This was agreed to, and Cr Campbell promised to supply all the information possible by next meeting. *** THE death occurred at Frankston on Tuesday last of Jessie Beronice Shave, daughter of Mrs C. O. Shave, of Frankston. The deceased, who was 13 years of age, had been ailing for about a fortnight, and was under the care of Dr Maxwell, but medical skill was of no avail, and she passed away as stated. The burial took place quietly at the Melbourne General Cemetery on Thursday. Wreaths were sent from St. Paul’s Choir, from St. Paul’s Day School, from the State School Scholars and Teachers, from Mrs Shave’s employees, at Webb’s Buildings, Melbourne, and from numerous friends. Mrs Share has the heartfelt sympathy of all the residents in her sad bereavement. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul’s, Frankston, on Sunday morning next. *** THE Frankston Empire Day celebration committee has accepted with pleasure the offer of Mr J. B. Jolly, of Frankston, of a gold medal annually to be the prize for a championship 100 yards race, open to all boys attending the Frankston State school. The title of champion will be held each year by the winner of this race, and it is expected the competition will be keen.

*** THE President of the Choral Society desires to acknowledge the following donations towards the presentation to Mr W. G. Pettit and Miss Rae Picking:-Mr Hy Masterton £1 1s, Mr G. V Williams 10s, Mr H. Robertson 5s. This presentation will be made at the Choral concert this evening. *** EMPIRE Day celebrations will take place at Frankston on Friday next. In the morning, parents of children attending the local State school, and others, will attend the school and patriotic addresses, songs, etc, will be given. In the afternoon a sports programme for the children has been arranged, and they will be ‘treated’ at a three o’clock tea. Negotiations are also in hand by the committee to try and arrange for a picture show in the hall in the evening, to which the children would be admitted free, but nothing definite in this direction has yet been decided. Given fine weather, a pleasant and instructive day is assured. *** THE proposal to establish refreshment rooms on the Frankston foreshore, which was recently opposed by a deputation of residents, has not received the approval of the Minister of Lands; but a compromise has been suggested. Mr McKenzie visited Frankston on Thursday of last week to look into the matter for himself, and has not reached a decision. In support of the proposal it was urged that the nearest refreshment rooms were situated at some distance from the picnic reserve, and the new establishment would be welcomed by visitors. The council was prepared to grant the application, it was added; but Mr McKenzie cannot

see his way to ratify the proposal. He expresses himself as willing to give permission to erect refreshment rooms on the reserve, and to lease them for three years, but on the understanding that tenders be called for their occupancy. The building is to be at least 100 yards away from the foreshore. *** A MEETING of the Loyal Celebrations League was held in the Mechanics’ Institute, Mornington, on Tuesday evening last. Mr E. Ferber, who presided, said it gave him great pleasure to see such a large and representative gathering of ladies and gentlemen, and after briefly explaining the object of the meeting, business was proceeded with. After a good deal of discussion it was unanimously decided, on the motion of Cr Male and Mr Bates, that King’s Birthday celebrations be held on Monday, 9th June, on the same lines as last year, with a picture show (free to children) in the evening. The amount expended last year was £22, and the treasurer’s statement showed a credit balance of £17 10s 9d. Cr Male, Mr Bates and Mr R. Ford kindly donated £1 1s each, making a grand total of £20 13s 9d. The following collectors were then appointed:-Cr Male, Moorooduc; Mr Sherlock, Osborne; Cr Stephens, Mount Eliza; and Cr Alston and Mr Biles, Mornington. Sports committee - Messrs Jenkins, Cavil. McArthur, Harrap, Male, Crosbie and Dickenson. Refreshments were, as usual, left in the capable hands of the ladies. After a hearty vote of thanks to the chairman, proposed by Mr J. E. Jones, the meeting adjourned till Tuesday, 27th inst.

At the Women’s Health & Hormones clinic in Rosebud, naturopath Emma Stimpson specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of hormonal imbalances using natural medicine. Ms Stimpson said the most common reason patients attended the clinic was to find out if a hormonal imbalance was causing their symptoms. “With developments in testing, we are now able to conduct hormone testing using a saliva sample. It is simple, safe, stress-free and painless,� she said. The clinic is achieving great results for women with endometriosis and adenomyosis. Women with this condition suffer from painful and heavy periods, mid-cycle bleeding, pain during intercourse and infertility. Hormone testing is used to identify each woman’s hormonal blueprint and then targeted herbal medicines are used as well as simple lifestyle changes to balance hormones and relieve symptoms. Ms Stimpson said initial improvements were seen quickly. “Periods are usually shorter with reduced blood loss in the first month. Mood changes, mid-cycle bleeding and pain improve by about 50 per cent in the second month and we

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Performance DURING the 1990s, Canadianborn Wendy Matthews was hailed as one of Australia’s finest singers with extraordinary crystal clear vocals which also displayed a hint of soulfulness. Two thousand and thirteen looks set to be an exciting year. It marks the beginning of a new era for Wendy Matthews the singer/songwriter with a new recording deal with Fanfare Records and her new album The Welcome Fire, (her first album of all original material in 12 years) which is due for an August release. This time Wendy has written or co-written every track on the album, a first for her. Other writers include Josh Pyke, Megan Washington, Mark Sholtez, Rod McCormick, John Castle, Kim Richey, Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci. The Welcome Fire is produced by John Castle of Megan Washington, The Cat Empire, The Drones and Dan Parsons fame. There are few artists in Australia that can come close to Wendy Matthews and her stunning credentials; seven Arias, a massive 19 singles, seven top-selling albums and most of all the love of her fans. Her career-defining album Lily sold more than 500,000 copies and more than 300,000 singles of her now signature song Day You Went Away when released in the mid-90s. Wendy says of the signing: “I’ve had the luxury of taking a couple of years to write with some fantastic and diverse people for the first original album for me in 12 years, so I’m thrilled to have found a home with the Fanfare label. The last record was on my own little label and I learned much but this feels like a true partnership and an exciting and new way of doing things.” As an artist she has an expressive voice that never fails to move those who hear it. Her music is an unhurried journey of clean melodies, infectious energy and simple grace. In an age when grunge is thought

to be hip and cynicism an attribute, Wendy has proven that commitment to beauty is still not only valid but applauded by the public ear. This is exemplified by the fact Wendy’s music is now in more than a million Australian homes – all her albums have multi-platinum status. She has an immense talent and capacity to capture and define a diverse range of styles in her music. She takes songs from every genre and makes them her own, from jazz to blues, from rock to gospel, from soul to outright infectious pop and then, of course, there are the beautiful ballads Born in Montreal, Canada, Wendy joined her first band and left home as a teenager, busking her way across the USA to Los Angeles where she met Glenn Shorrock who invited her to tour with him in Australia in 1982. She immediately became an indemand session singer, appearing on many commercial jingles and backing vocals for the likes of The Models Out of Mind Out of Sight and became a semi-permanent member of the band. She also sang on albums by Jimmy Barnes, Tim Finn, Richard Clapton and Icehouse. In 1987, Wendy collaborated with Kate Ceberano on the ABC-TV soundtrack for the series Stringer. You’ve Always Got the Blues was

released the next year reaching the Top 5 national charts. She then contributed to the Rockmelons and Peter Blakeley’s respective albums. She helped form Absent Friends and sang on the number one hit Don’t Wanna Be With Nobody But You and the album Here’s Looking Up Your Address. To support The Welcome Fire Wendy will embark on an extensive promotion tour followed by a national concert tour 2013/2014. www.wendymatthews.com *** THIS spring will see another chapter unfold in the life of Wings, the UK rock group formed by Sir Paul McCartney after the break-up of The Beatles and one of the most successful bands ever created. For the first time a DVD will be released of the live concert film Rockshow which was shot in 1975 and 1976 when Paul McCartney and Wings undertook the epic Wings over the World tour which was the largest-scale tour they would ever undertake as a band. Packed with all the classic Wings hits, plus some of The Beatles’ and Paul’s solo classics – the film is released on DVD and Blu-ray formats. Although filmed on this tour at the enormous Kingdome in Seattle, Rockshow, originally a cut

down version of the concert, was not premiered until November 1980 in New York and April 1981 in London. It was originally released on Betamax (later on laser disc) but it’s only now that the complete full-length concert is being made available fully restored from the original 35mm film and with restored and remastered sound, including a 5.1 mix for the first time. Wings are one of the most successful acts the UK has ever produced, achieving 14 US Top 10 hits and 12 Top 10 hits at home, including Mull of Kintyre which with more than two million sales remains the biggest-selling non-charity single of all time over their 10-year career. Rockshow (Shock), the documentary of the band’s Wing’s Over the World will be available on DVD & Blu Ray 10 June. www.shock.com.au www. paulmccartney.com *** PAUL Dainty, chairman of Dainty Group has announced dates for the Australian leg of the Bon Jovi Because We Can – The Tour which kicks off in Melbourne on Saturday 7 December at Etihad Stadium.Tickets for the Australian tour will go on sale on Monday 20 May at noon. Ensuring there is something for every fan, Bon Jovi is offering a range of tickets starting at $35 (plus transaction and credit card charges where applicable). Tickets can be purchased from www.ticketmaster.com.au In this spectacular new show fans will be treated to an unforgettable night of Bon Jovi’s huge arsenal of hits, as well as new tracks from the band’s latest album What About Now which debuted at No1 on the Australian charts. The new video for the single What about Now can be viewed here http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=S-88lY2GlxE. *** Dirty Farmer’s Daughter is the latest single from the acclaimed Hunter Valley raised, Nashville-based singersongwriter, Kirsty Akers.

By Gary Turner Already a popular playlist addition to Dallas’ KHYI the Range (America’s highest rating Americana station) the song is accompanied by a provocative and stylishly intense video which was directed, edited and produced by the talented songstress. “This song is my favourite to perform off the album,” says Kirsty. “It has a lot of dynamics, both vocally and melodically. I am a really big fan of shows like American Horror Story and True Blood and one of the things I love are their sound tracks. The music is really rootsy and dark so that probably influenced me a little with this song.” Described as “one of the rising stars of the Americana scene” Kirsty recently performed for the cast and crew of the Golden Globe nominated TV show Nashville. She returns to Australia in late June for a series of shows including the Broadbeach Country Festival and The Gympie Muster. www.kirstyleeakers.com Top 10 Albums 1.

The meaning of existence (and other short stories)

Mr Man and Superman: battles of an ubermensch By Stuart McCullough SUPERMAN, Spider-Man, Batman: they meant nothing to me. As for the likes of Iron Man, the Green Lantern or Daredevil – I could trip over them in the frozen food aisle at the supermarket and still not recognise them, in spite of the costumes. I realise that superheroes are all the rage right now. Indeed, I wouldn’t be surprised if the sequel to Best Exotic Marigold Hotel starred Thor. Barely a movie goes by without some preposterous champion strapping on some totally outrageous duds with the inevitable promise to combat evil. There’s something a little clichéd about superheroes. For the most part, they’re reluctant to nail their colours to the mast and insist on cowering behind an alternate identity. It’s as though they were invented by the witness protection program. It’s a convention that suggests a heroic identity can emerge precisely when the need arises. It’s little wonder that most of the decent superheroes were invented during World War II. Not that they don’t have their problems. Almost invariably, heroes are deeply flawed individuals who harbor a tragic past. This may include being orphaned (as with Batman, Spider-Man and

Superman) or, in the case of the Green Lantern, the indignity of having been portrayed by Ryan Reynolds. Also, to be a decent superhero you’ve got to have a point of weakness. There’s little point being invulnerable – it would make the contest with super villains hardly worth watching. The Man of Steel is hopeless against Kryptonite, although it always seemed

a bit odd that he should be allergic to his home planet. Aquaman can’t be out of the water for more than an hour which is probably fair enough. The Green Lantern, oddly enough, has an aversion to the colour yellow. Which means he could, if push came to shove, be taken down by one of the Wiggles. As for Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna, their key weakness was simply the fact that they were incredibly annoying. That and the fact they had a monkey called ‘Gleek’. With the exception of Superman who is powerful on account of being an alien, there’s almost always some weird story about how they came to get their particular power. SpiderMan got his abilities after being bitten by a radioactive arachnid and the Flash inhaled hard water vapors, whereas Captain America chose a more contemporary path by simply opting for performance enhancing drugs (although they politely called it a ‘serum’). Rightly or wrongly, I’ve always struggled to take these guys seriously. Maybe it’s the whole underwear on the outside thing – which never really denoted special powers to me so much as it did special needs – or perhaps I just couldn’t find it in myself to

identify with them. Forget your Justice League, X-Men or Super Friends, my heart belonged to another group of less celebrated super beings who defined my childhood namely, Roger Hargreaves’ Mr Men. These guys always resonated with me in a far more profound way. For starters, they never mucked around with secret identities. Better yet, their strengths and weaknesses were nearly always declared in their names. Mr Greedy, Mr Nosey and Mr Mean were all exactly as their monikers suggested. The moment you picked up a copy of Mr Fussy, Mr Happy or Mr Sneeze, you had a pretty good idea of what you were dealing with. The inhabitants of Misterland have the kind of powers that ordinary folk can aspire to. For example, the power of extreme rudeness (as in the case of Mr Fussy), the ability to tell a joke (Mr Funny) or the overwhelming need to be punctual. Granted, there may be a case for arguing that Mr Rush’s insatiable desire to be on time means that he would, by today’s standards, be diagnosed as suffering obsessive compulsive disorder. The point is this: I will never be faster than a speeding bullet, nor will I leap tall buildings in a single bound but, like Mr Daydream,

I can certainly tune out when the mood strikes me. In a market cluttered with superhero movies, one group is yet to get the Hollywood treatment they so obviously deserve. Indeed, there’s no time like the present for producers to start lobbing fistfuls of cash at a big screen adaptation of the Mr Men series. But with so any to choose from, where to begin? The answer is obvious. Mr Messy – the Movie would be the kind of blockbuster that has people queuing up around the block. It would be so great a spectacle that spotted teenagers would refrain from illegally downloading it and shell out their parent’s hard-earned money to see it. I see Nicholas Cage as Mr Messy. Only he can properly bring to life the tortured psyche of the character. As is the way with such films, it would be a journey into darkness. Horribly disfigured in a laboratory accident, our hero is transformed into little more than a pink squiggle who fights crime. Or, if not crime, then at least the urge to tidy up. That I can relate to. Perhaps by refusing to bow to convention and not being neat and tidy, Mr Messy is doing something truly heroic. Shazam! www.stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.

Pies account for Demons, put 2013 back on track NEPEAN LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly IT’S game-on for a spot in the top five in Nepean League. Just three rounds ago, results appeared to show that the five was set with Sorrento, Frankston Bombers, Dromana, Rosebud and Rye. Fast forward three rounds and the race is on. Rye now looks to be in serious danger of losing touch with the top five after going down to Crib Point in round six on Saturday. After getting away to a solid start this season, winning two of its first three games, Rye has lost three on the trot and slid out of the top five. Over the next two weeks, Rye has matches against Sorrento and Dromana. Even at their best, the Demons cannot beat these teams. On Saturday against the Magpies, inaccuracy in front of goals cost them dearly. The home side booted 1.8 in the third term to Crib Point’s 3.5, allowing the Magpies a three-point buffer at the final change. In the last quarter, Crib Point proved too strong, winning 15.14-104 to 12.21-93. While Rye’s season seems to have gone off the rails, Crib Point is back in the hunt for a spot in the five. Pies’ coach Dave Lawson was exceptional on Saturday with five goals while Luke Herrington (four goals) and Jon Flack (three) were at their best yet again. Lawson told The News last week that his team’s season would be well and truly back on track if it could knock over Rye. In successive weeks the Pies have beaten Rosebud and Rye, two finals aspirants. Playing Devon Meadows and Somerville in two of its next three games, Crib Point can consolidate. It also has Frankston Bombers in round eight, which will be timely given the team will want to test its good form against a top side. Waide Symes continues to be a standout for the Pies while Matt Jackson played his best game for the season after a breakout year in 2012. Rye’s leaders in Rhett Sutton and Leigh Morse were great contributors for their side while Darren Booth and Matt Sibberas continued their excellent form. Devon Meadows won its first game of the season when it overcame a poor second quarter to beat Somerville. Playing in ideal conditions at Glover Reserve, the Panthers and Eagles went toe to toe in the opening quarter with six goals each. However, with the wind in the second term, the Eagles booted seven goals to three and opened up a 21-point lead. The second half was a cracker. Through the likes of Callum O’Hare, Ash Adams, Daniel Watson and Steve McInnes through the middle, Alex Doria, Andrew Oldmeadow and Pat Harmes in the back line and Troy Aust and Heath Black in attack, the Panthers were able to respond with the aid of a twogoal breeze in the third term. The home side booted five goals to none for the quarter and edged in front by 10 points at the final change. The last quarter was a thriller.

PAGE 36

Somerville booted the first goal to reduce the margin to three points before Troy Aust, who finished the afternoon with four goals, put the margin back to 10 points at the 17-minute mark. With 13 seconds on the clock, the Eagles reduced the margin to three points. They then won the clearance and kicked to full forward, only for the siren to sound one second before Luke Rowe took a mark 20 metres out in front of goal. The final score was 15.14-104 to 15.11-101. Understandably, the Panthers were thrilled with their first win of the season. Justin Farrelly was clearly the Eagles’ best, while Caleb Cox, Jed Sutton, Ben Sedgewick and Paul McDonald were very good over four quarters. Sorrento’s Leigh Poholke booted nine goals in the second half against Tyabb and finished with 10 for the afternoon in his side’s 119-point win. Just four goals separated the sides at half-time after the Yabbies put up a fight against the ladder leaders. However, the Sharks kicked eight goals in the third quarter and another 12 in the last to crush the opposition, 28.14-182 to 10.3-63. Steve Baker and James Hallahan booted three each for the Sharks while Kayle Stringer-Morris continued his purple patch of form. Ryan Jeffrey and Scott Cameron also dominated in the big man department for the visitors. The only worry for the winners was the hamstring strain to Ben Schwarze, who came off the field early in the opening quarter. Matty Dimkos was back and firing for the Yabbies, Ash Waterstone booted three goals and Steve Conlan and Nick Waterstone also tried hard throughout the game. Dromana got the job done against Rosebud on Saturday at Olympic

Park, winning by 33 points, 18.12120 to 13.9-87. After back-to-back 100-point plus wins, this was always going to be a test for the Tigers to see how they would respond to better opposition. After a tight first quarter, the Tigers were able to give the opposition the slip in the second term and set-up the win with an eight goal to three term. This was the difference in the end, Rosebud going goal for goal with Dromana after half-time. Toby Banks booted four goals for the Tigers while Daniel Waddell, Anthony Bruhn and Dan Gormley booted three goals each. Matt Neratzoglou was sensational, as was Shaun Clarke. Terry Wheeler provided plenty of run on the open spaces of Olympic Park. Matty Payne and Greg Bentley were stand-outs for the Buds while Sam Krumeich is having a wonderful season playing in the back line. Despite the loss, the Buds maintained their position in the top five. Frankston Bombers remain undefeated, beating Hastings by just 11 points. The Blues went into the game mixing things up from what has been seen in the first five rounds. As a result, the home side played with more spirit and passion, and some of the moves clearly paid off. Colin McVeigh was sent forward against one of the best defences in the competition and responded with eight goals in a near best-on-ground display. Kain Stratton had a tagging role through the middle and was exceptional while Daniel Wishart played his best game for the season. At the end of the afternoon, however, the Blues went down 14.1498 to 16.13-109. The Bombers always had the answers, largely due to the form of Jay Reynolds, who finished the afternoon

with four goals. He was exceptional, while coach Duncan Proud and Nathan Lonie led from the front. The third quarter was the game breaker, when the Frankston Bombers booted four goals to two to open up a match-winning 25-point lead. In the final game, Pearcedale consolidated its place in the five with a hard-fought, six-goal win over Red Hill, 15.11-101 to 8.17-65. It was the third quarter that proved to be the difference in the match. Trailing by five points at half-time

after Red Hill squandered many opportunities in front of goals (3.9 to 2.2), the Dales came out in the third and kicked 8.2 to 1.2 to seal the match. Pat Heijden kicked seven for the winners to give him 28 for the season while Pat Cadd, Dean Janssen and Adam Avard dominated in the middle of the ground. Luke Murray and Matt Smith provided plenty of drive from defence. Jake Mitchell and Ben Black were among the best for the Hillmen.

Stonecats stay on a roll with 10-goal win over Tigers PENINSULA LEAGUE By Andrew ‘Toe Punt’ Kelly FOR many years, we have been longing for an even competition in Peninsula League. Every year, it seems the final five is set before the first ball is bounced for the season. That isn’t the case in season 2013. While Frankston YCW is still proving to be the benchmark, undefeated and two games clear on top of the ladder, the competition is wide open, from second place Bonbeach to eighth place Mt Eliza. YCW coach Tony Barry told The News that he was surprised that his side was still undefeated. “Our personnel changed a lot in the pre-season and we went into 2013 without more than half a dozen of our premiership players from the year before,” Barry said. “With opposition sides recruiting well over the pre-season, I didn’t expect to be in the position we are in.” However, after six rounds of footy, the Stonecats are yet to be beaten. Remembering that their reserves won the flag last season and the under18s were a force, there is a winning culture at the Stonecats. There is also an expectation that all players learn the game-plan that is implemented by Barry and his assistants. “Every player in the senior club is well aware of the style of play we adopt and that includes the under-18s. It is important for them to understand the way we play our football and when they get their opportunity, and they will, we want them to fit straight in

and not feel lost,” Barry said. YCW always has a senior player coach the under-18s, which assists in that transition. It’s much like the culture at Geelong in the AFL. Football followers revel in the ability of the inexperienced players at the Cats to make the jump and fit right in. No different at YCW. On Saturday, Frankston YCW was thrown another big challenge against Seaford, who had won four on the trot. Tigers coach Craig McIndoe said his side was looking forward to the challenge. “We come into the match in good form and I think we’ll enjoy the wide open spaces of Jubilee Park,” McIndoe said prior to the match. By Saturday night, the Stonecats had completely dominated the Tigers and whipped them by more than 10 goals, 17.24-126 to 9.8-62. Thankfully the home side was wayward in front of goal, or the result would have been a lot worse. Again, a fascinating result. It was boys against men stuff in the second half and although starting OK, the Tigers just couldn’t sustain the pressure in the second hour. The Stonecats have done this a number of times this season. Mornington went toe-to-toe for a while but couldn’t keep it up and Bonbeach did the same. YCW shared the load again, 10 players kicking goals. Kyle Hutchison the best of them with three, while Scott Macleod played his best game since crossing from Chelsea. Byron Barry and Riley Hodson were also first rate. Tom Shaw booted four for the Tigers

while Aaron Turner was his team’s best player. Chelsea came from eight goals down at one stage in the second quarter to beat Langwarrin by four points in a thriller, 13.9-87 to 12.11-83. The home side led by 38 points at quarter-time kicking with the aid of the breeze, however, the Gulls got back into the contest with the last four goals of the second quarter to reduce the deficit to just 24 points. Langwarrin, with the aid of Dan Wehner through the middle and Aaron Shaw up front with four goals, was able to maintain the break in the third and go to the final change with a 26-point buffer. However, led by skipper Ryan Stewart, Richard Jaroszczuk, the young and exciting talent of Toddy Gardener, the work rate of Ryan Dyer and ruck work of Jack Gaze to give his teammates first use, the Gulls were able to storm back in the last quarter, booting five goals to three behinds and snatch victory. There were emotional scenes after the match for the Gulls, who lost their first five games of the season. We are also talking about a club that lost 16 of its best 22 players in the offseason, including the likes of Gary and Sam Carpenter, Steve Harrison, Anthony Lewis, Luke Damon, Nigel Carmody, Luke Stokell, Scott Macleod and Chris Worner. It’s been tough going for new coach Paul Carbis. “I was appointed late in proceedings and I guess the rumour mill got around that this player was leaving and that player was leaving,” Carbis said. “When it got time for me to start

talking to players to see what their intentions were for the season, they had already made up their mind that they were leaving. “We obviously needed to get some recruits, which we were able to do late, however this year was always going to be about getting games into the kids and trying to remain competitive. “I think every week we get better and as long as there is continued improvement from individuals and teams, then I’ll be happy.” After three straight losses, Edithvale-Aspendale was able to bounce back and take a big scalp in Karingal. The Eagles have struggled in recent times, especially with the lack of height up forward with the loss of Matt Kremmer. With him back in the side, it was always going to assist the likes of Brad Tagg and Brent Bowden. Having the three-pronged attack up front was going to challenge the Bulls’ defence. It proved to be the case with Kremmer kicking four goals and Bowden and Tagg two each as the Eagles steamrolled the Bulls 16.15111 to 10.7-67. Edithvale is now just nine percent out of fourth place. Jeremy Heys continued his superb season while Nick Connellan was again a general in defence. Michael Burke with five goals was clearly Karingal’s best. Pines maintained its touch with the top five with a strong four-quarter performance against Mt Eliza, winning 13.14-92 to 10.10-70. The Pythons led by eight points at quarter time, trailed by a goal at the major interval and stretched the

margin to 16 points at three-quarter time. Anthony Craddock was a surprise packet in attack with three goals while Beau Hendry once again announced that he is one of the most important big men in the caper. His work in the middle with skipper Jamie Messina, who booted two goals, is worth going to the footy to watch. Josh Norman and Rick D’Orazio were among the best for the Redlegs, along with skipper Jimmy Clayton and Sam Gill. Bonbeach and Mornington was expected to be a sensational game of football and it lived up to all the hype. These two sides will feature prominently come finals time and we got a taste of it on Saturday. The Dogs opened in sensational fashion and looked to whitewash the home side in the first quarter with five goals to none in the first 30 minutes. The Sharks bounced back in the second to get within five points at halftime, before the Dogs kicked away again with the wind in the third to lead by 10 points at the final change. With the likes of Jason Gumbleton, Shaun Foster up front with four goals, Shane McDonald and Matt Batten working tirelessly in the final term, the Sharks were able to come from behind and record a 15-point victory, 13.1492 to 11.11-77. Kallum Searle and Adrian Speedy with three goals were the best of the Doggies, while Warwick Miller and Anthony Simpson were also able to perform well.

Strong second quarter gives Dromana a five-goal win By Casey Franklin LAST Saturday in front of a packed house, Dromana fended off a spirited Rosebud outfit. On paper this was the match of the round with third-placed Dromana and fourth-placed Rosebud each vying for a top-two spot. Rosebud came flying out of the blocks with captain Ryan Spooner kicking a goal in the opening minute. Rosebud continued to attack but Dromana’s defence kept them to two goals by the 20-minute mark. It was then the Tigers broke through to score two late goals, the latter was from a Matt Neratzoglou contested mark in the goal square. The margin was tied at two goals four at quarter time, Matt Payne and Brenton Payne were Rose-

bud’s best and Daniel Gormely was the Tigers’ best. In the second quarter Dromana significantly lifted their intensity and got their game plan flowing and their players found plenty of space through the midfield. Early on the lead changed three times, but at the eight minute Dromana opened the flood gates kicking six of the next seven goals, Anthony Bruhn was vital kicking three of them. The highlight of the quarter was a coast to coast goal from Dromana which resulted in a simple goal to Daniel Waddell. It wasn’t all sweet for the Tigers, though, Jarrad Wood went off late in the half and sat the remainder of the match out with a heavily iced ankle. Dromana’s back-

line resembled a brick wall, no matter how many inside 50s Rosebud had, their defence through discipline and team work continued to restrict the Rosebud forwards for a high percentage of the match. The second half the Buds needed to respond and despite looking overwhelmed by the Tigers they really got themselves back into the game. Greg Bentley opened the half with a 50-metre bomb to bring the margin back to four goals. For the remainder of the quarter it was a very high scoring and level contest with both sides kicking five goals apiece. Tigers small forward Toby Banks was lively kicking and setting up his fair share of goals and Daniel Gormley was a force to be

reckoned with, for the Buds Matthew Baker and Jackson McRae were best that quarter. With the margin at a healthy five goals in favour of Dromana, the Tigers would be expecting to run away with the game. It did look that way when Daniel Waddell kicked an easy goal to take the margin out to 36 points. However the home side with the support of the crowd got themselves back into the game with three quick goals. The Tigers seemed to be fatigued and if it wasn’t for their backline, Rosebud would have steamrolled them. With six minutes to go Rosebud’s Aaron Rose snapped a goal out of the pack to bring the margin back to 13 points. Eventually Dromana proved

what a class act they are by kicking the last three goals of the game from their stars Daniel Gormley and Toby Banks. Final score: Rosebud 13.9-87 lost to Dromana 18.12-120. Best: Rosebud: M Payne, Krumeich, Bentley, B Payne Dromana: Gormley, Banks, S Clarke, Waddell, Bruhn, M Neratzoglou Goals: Rosebud: Spooner 3, Rose 2, Schultz 2, McRae 2, M Payne 1, Dew 1, Stephens 1, Bentley 1 Dromana: Banks 4, Waddell 3, Bruhn 3, Gormley 3, Slocombe 2, M Neratzoglou 2, Minchington 1

Dingley too tough for the Pirates BASEBALL IN the fourth game of the season, Mornington Pirates A1 side went down to Dingley at home on Saturday 11 May. The final score of 5-1 was a testament to a very solid game played by Dingley, with great pitching from Mat Prior. The Pirates matched Dingley for hits but failed to execute, leaving a lot of runners on bases. Josh Mulherin pitched very well, with Nick Swanveld and Brendan Wilson collecting 3 hits each. Other results: Mornington A2 vs Dingley: Tough day for the Pirates coming up against last year’s premiers. Highlights included Rhys De Saint Pern making his first start for the season on the hill, a few long and successful bats by Shaun Martin and the debut by under-17s player Rhys Butler who made a couple of nice pick-ups at second base. Mornington B1 vs Berwick: B1 was off to a promising start scoring 5 runs in the first innings. Berwick came back with 15 runs making it difficult to get back into the game.

Money from golden putter A FIELD of 221 women golfers raised $10,000 for Peninsula Home Hospice at this year’s Golden Putter Charity Golf Day at Rosebud Country Club. The event was the “best result in more than 10 years”, the club’s woman president Coral Mowthorpe said. Each year the club nominates a different charity to benefit from the tournament. This year’s beneficiary, Peninsula Home Hospice, provides specialist health care and practical support to people living at home with a terminal illness. “This is an important day for the Rosebud Country Club and what it

does to support the local community,” Ms Mowthorpe said. “There is a lot of hard work that goes into running the day, but it gives those involved, and the golfers taking part, enormous satisfaction when we hand over such a large amount of money.” Hospice CEO Rachel Bovenizer said it was the first time the hospice had received such an amount from a golf club. “Last year we looked after more than 860 people who were receiving care in the home,” she said. Winners of the golden putters were Cathy Kelly of Rosebud Country Club and Trish Barr of The National.
