Protest over police moves Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE anticipated deployment of muchneeded police from Rosebud to the new station at Somerville has “outraged” residents, with a public meeting organised to protest the moves.

Police Association secretary Ron Iddles described the positioning of the new Somerville police station as a “political decision not based on demographics or population growth”.

He said the site was chosen after lob-

bying by Hastings MP Neale Burgess.

“As the sitting member he was entitled to ask for it to be built there,” Mr Iddles said.

He said siting the station away from population areas and the summer hotspots of Rye and Rosebud meant police were too far away from the action.

“We are concerned about where police are going to come from to fill the station,” he said.

“A 24-hour station requires at least 32 police to man it and we understand that crime scene, criminal investiga-

tion and highway patrol police will be moved from other, smaller stations on the peninsula, such as Hastings.

“We’ve been told that detectives from Rosebud will be moving to Somerville – but it is 40 kilometres away from where they will be doing most of their work. If they want to interview a suspect from Rye, for example, they will have to drive to pick him up and then take him to Somerville to do the interview and then drive him back home – about 80 kilometres. It’s all going to take a very long time.”

Mr Burgess said he would attend the meeting “if it goes ahead”.

“Our community values its local police officers and local police stations very highly, and it’s fair to say that not everyone fully appreciates how important that relationship is,” he said.

“I have been in contact with police from Rosebud and the Police Association to get more details about their concerns. I’ve spoken with Mr Iddles and will be meeting with him over the next week or so.”

Rye resident Barry Irving will be

joined by Mr Iddles and his deputy, Bruce McKenzie, at the protest meeting at 7pm, Wednesday 29 October, at Rosebud Memorial Hall.

He expects a big crowd to attend.

“Residents and business owners in the Rosebud, Rye, Sorrento and Dromana areas are outraged that 30 specialist police officers may be removed from stations in their towns to work out of the new Somerville station more than 40 kilometres away,” Mr Irving said.

Govt flies low over aero grant

‘Recovering’ roads MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire will receive $6.88 million for roadworks over the next five years.

The money comes from the federal government’s Roads to Recovery program.

Flinders MP Greg Hunt said the works would provide relief for “frustrated road users”.

“Local roads provide key links between our homes, schools and workplaces to arterial roads and national highways,” Mr Hunt said.

“The maintenance of these roads comes at a significant cost to local councils, which is why the Australian government is doubling Roads to Recovery payments to councils next year to $700 million.”

The mayor, Cr Antonella Celi, said the shire would submit specific projects for Roads to Recovery funding once the proposed project program was finalised.

Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au TURBULENCE surrounding a $1 million infrastructure grant had Peninsula Aero Club in a tailspin last week.

The funding was approved by a department overseen by club member and Aviation Industry Minister Gordon Rich-Phillips, raising accusation of a conflict of interest.

The money – for airfield upgrades – is coming from the state government’s $20 million Victorian Regional Aviation Fund for upgrading regional public-use airport infrastructure.

Peninsula Aero Club is private and borders the outer-urban fringe. It is not classed as being regional and, strictly speaking, is not public-use.

Another point of interest was that the usually publicity hungry state government had kept details of the taxpayerfunded grant under wraps – whereas such largesse is usually greeted with much fanfare, especially with an election due next month.

Mr Rich-Phillips represents the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, which runs as far south as Baxter, near Tyabb.

He told the ABC he “sought advice from the Department of Premier and Cabinet around managing any conflicts of interest”.

“Acting on that advice, I put in place delegations so that this matter, or that any matter indeed related to that facility, was dealt with by departmental officers without any reference to me or my office,” Mr Rich-Phillips said.

He said the program applied to regional airports – those in regional

months ago for the funding but that they had been referred on to the Department of State Development, Business and Innovation.

“Yes, it’s true that we approached him, but we were quickly put at arm’s length,” Mr Vevers said. He was unaware we were going to apply and, when we did, told us, ‘I can’t deal with this’.

“We were asked to deal only with the department.”

Mr Rich-Philips operates his own plane, a Beechcraft Bonanza, from the airfield and has it stored in a hangar there. He has been a member for a year.

Mr Vevers said he would be sur-

municipalities or ‘interface’ municipalities – and airports which are public use and from where aircraft operators operate.

“That's the criteria for upgrades and these are operational upgrades at airports across Victoria and that's the criteria at which this club would have been assessed,” he said.

Mornington Peninsula Shire sustainability director Steve Chapple has described the airfield as mainly a “recreational facility”.

Aero club vice president Jack Vevers last week confirmed members had approached Mr Rich-Phillips about 18

prised if the minister “knew what was in the application”.

“We asked for money to improve the whole airport precinct,” he said.

“We want to replace runway lights, widen the taxiway, replace runway cross overs, replace a damaged apron area, and a tired old staff area that’s been there 50 years.”

Asked whether the airfield was used by members of the public, he said: “All the time. It is a private airstrip but it is used daily by crayfish suppliers, charter tours and all emergency services.

We even get international visitors, and flying classes are conducted here.”

Anti- port party THE French Island Port Stoppers group is holding a “party against the port” on Saturday 18 October to protest against the building of an international container port at Hastings.

The picnic will be held from 1.30-3.30pm on the Fairhaven camp ground beach on Coast Rd. Those attending have been asked to wear red and take along food and frisbees “to celebrate the beauty of the bay which is under threat from the air, noise and water pollution created by the hundreds of container ships the state government wants to bring to the port every year”.

Soccer pals play to benefit Bobby SOCCER players and their families from all over the peninsula turned out for a benefit day on 28 September for club stalwart Bobby Geddes, who is suffering from motor neurone disease.

Such is their regard for him that teams from Karingal, Mornington, Baxter, Langwarrin and Mt Eliza competed to raise $6000 on the gala day – Bobby’s Day - which attracted about 350 people.

They posed for photographs with Mr Geddes, his wife Leanne and son Jack, 9. The couple have two other children aged 2 and 4.

The games followed a fundraising party earlier in the month for Mr Geddes “so everyone could get together with him and celebrate his life,” club president Mick Hardy said.

“About 450 attended and we raised about $4000 for his family. It was a great night.”

The club also hosted a trivia night on 3 October at Seaford Community Hall for another 270 people and raised around $20,000.

The man described by Mr Hardy as a “top bloke” has been part of the Langwarrin Soccer Club since 1985. “To see how many people have come together to support him and acknowledge him has been amazing,” he said.

“Getting the disease is just bad luck. I’ve watched him over the past eight months when he’s been working with me to now not being able to put one foot in front of the other. It’s a tragedy.”

Mr Hardy described Mr Geddes as an “outgoing bloke very well known on the peninsula. You’ve only got to mention his name; everyone likes him.”

Rosie ponders foray into politics Chris Brennan chris@mpnews.com.au ROSIE Batty has rejected speculation she could make a tilt for the seat of Hastings at the upcoming state election but confirmed she would weigh up a possible role politics some time in the future “when the time is right”.

The mother of murdered 11-year-old Tyabb schoolboy Luke Batty had been rumoured to be considering running as an independent in November’s state election after confirming she was “tempted” to pursue public office.

However, Ms Batty told The News there was no chance she would be entering the political arena any time soon, with her attention firmly focussed on next week’s coronial inquest into the murder of Luke by his father Greg Anderson at Tyabb in February.

“I certainly haven’t ruled out [entering politics] but that’s a decision for the future,” she said. “The timing right now is not right.

“All my attention has been on preparing for the inquest. That’s been my key focus for a long time now and it has taken a lot of time to work through all the details and issues involved.

“But I’ll start considering my options after that.”

State Coroner Ian Gray is investigating the circumstances leading up to Luke’s death, which include outstanding arrest warrants and breaches to intervention orders against Anderson after he subjected the family to years of violence.

The coronial inquest, which will run for about ten days from 20 October before convening again in December, will examine any shortcomings in how police and the Department of Human Services handled the case.

Ms Batty has been credited with putting family violence at the top of the political agenda in the lead-up to the state poll, with both major parties announcing major policy initiatives to address the issue.

Her efforts in drawing attention to “systemic

Considering options: Rosie Batty.

failures” in the treatment of victims of family violence have also led to her nomination for the 2015 Australian of the Year awards.

The National Australia Day Council last week named Ms Batty as a Victorian finalist for the award, praising her “incredible strength and selfless efforts” in providing a voice to the “many thousands of victims of domestic violence who had until then remained unheard”.

Premier Denis Napthine said he would welcome any political foray mounted by Ms Batty as he unveiled a $150 million policy package aimed at curbing family violence.

“If Rosie Batty wishes to nominate she would be most welcome to nominate,” Dr Napthine said on Saturday as he announced details of a “comprehensive” family violence “action package” that includes provision for a trial of GPS monitoring for high risk offenders perpetrators.

Ms Batty said she had received strong encouragement to stand for public office in the process of holding “constructive meetings” with a wide range of politicians and public officials while pushing for changes to family violence policy.

However, she would need to be convinced politics was the most effecting means of achieving the changes she wants to see.

“When I first lost Luke and spoke out about the family violence issue, a number of people suggested I think about politics, but that seemed ludicrous at the time,” she said.

“But since then, I’ve met with the major parties and talked to a lot of people about the issues surrounding family violence so I’ve seen the sort of effect I can have through politics.

“If I have been able to inspire this level of focus on family violence, then politics is certainly something I will consider, but whether that turns about to be the most effective role I can play remains to be seen. I’ll need to do a lot of research because I really don’t have any idea of what would be involved.”

While welcoming the latest initiatives unveiled by the government, as well policies committed to by the state opposition, which include convening a Royal Commission into family violence, Ms Batty said there was “a long way to go” before the issue received the level of attention and financial support required.

“It’s a huge step forward but we need to continue to push for more change and more investment in the area,” she said of the Coalition’s latest family violence package. We desperately need more funding in areas like crisis support services because there is simply not enough assistance out there for women and children who have been subjected to this sort of violence.

“I really support [the ALP’s plan for] a Royal Commission into family violence because there has been a huge failure and it needs to be thoroughly looked into to find out how it can be fixed.

“Too many woman and children have been needlessly killed and it can’t go on.”

The Coaltion’s family violence prevention package includes:  A $41 million prevention campaign;  Expanded crisis accommodation support for women and children, a new multi-disciplinary centre combining police, sexual assault and family violence experts and child protection staff;  Outreach teachers to work with children fleeing family violence;  A trial of GPS monitoring of high risk perpetrators;  Additional legal and advocacy support for women;  Behaviour change programs for men in prison as a result of family violence;  Specialist staff in courts to assist victims and perpetrators of violence through the court processes; and  Improved and expanded post-crisis support for women and children.

Dr Napthine said the new investment doubled family violence funding since the Coalition came to office and would make a real difference in preventing violence and keeping women and children safe, in addition to holding perpetrators to account.

“Victorians, particularly women and children will be safer as a result of this comprehensive, whole-of-government strategy that tackles this insidious crime at all levels,” Dr Napthine said.

“These new initiatives address the causes of family violence, they educate the community, they provide support services for victims and they hold perpetrators to account.”

Announcing details of the proposed trial of the electronic tracking of high-risk offenders, Attorney-General Robert Clark said GPS technology had the potential to improve safety and confidence for victims of family violence while also making perpetrators realise their movements were being monitored and recorded.

“This new technology to protect against family violence will now be the subject of a comprehensive trial,” Mr Clark said.

All aboard the journey to another age THE sight and sound of steam locomotives has a visceral effect on gentlemen and ladies of a certain age – and, it seems, on children of all ages.

Witness the effect of loco K163, once a derelict decoration in a Frankston park, now in gleaming working order, hissing and huffing as it gently nudges up to equally glorious restored carriages at Moorooduc railway station.

These things have souls, surely!

And surely that short, sharp warning is emanating from a five-chime Lunkenheimer steam whistle, causing tiny startled leaps among passengers waiting to board on a recent Sunday morning?

Men in uniform fuss around the gasping loco, like bees around their

queen. We are gathered to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the first train to run on the Mornington line – and the 30th anniversary of the arduous battle to save the loco and the line.

Mornington was part of the railway frenzy of Gold Rush Victoria, when a line was built to every electorate. After a few hiccups, the line was declared closed to traffic on 8 March 1983.

All aboard to the ringing of a bell.

The flag is waved. The train lurches into life with complaining creaks and squeaks. This is how a real train sounds.

Then off to Mornington, clickettyclicking just as the first train in 1889 would have done and as Melbourne suburban lines used to, past grazing

stock in manicured paddocks at a leisurely pace, warning with a wavering hoot as we approached roads, mutual vigorous waving from carriage to car, a woman wiping a cinder from her eye then closing the train window.

Some 20 minutes later, we’re there.

Everybody’s out and rushing to watch as the loco is shunted from stem to stern for the trip back. Applause as the coupling occurs with the merest click.

The Mornington Railway Preservation Society (morningtonrailway.org. au) has achieved mightily in its 30 years. It has moved several times – from Frankston to HMAS Cerberus (they had spare a siding), then to its Moorooduc home – with rolling stock, the formidable K173 and assorted

buffers and bogeys. Moving a fridge is tough enough: a steam locomotive?

They have built a station, moved and installed a footbridge, renovated the “road” with line and sleeper, and now are laying more line, to Baxter.

(Is that lad rather young to be driving this 63-tonne behemoth?)

Look across from the Moorooduc platform, where CWA ladies are offering passengers delightfully old-fashioned freshly cooked biscuits and slices, to the second steam loco, the carriages and wagons awaiting restoration, to the big old diesel loco, engine drumming, awaiting its turn to perform.

decades ago. What fun! The spur line to the Cadbury factory’s station was at the top of a testing incline for a train arriving in the morning loaded with workers.

Some naughty boys greased the track one morning. The train puffed furiously but failed to make the grade in several attempts. Smirking, the naughty boys, with an unassailable excuse for being late to class, walked down the hill past the surly workers walking up.

Note to wannabe train drivers: you can take steam or diesel for a spin, after suitable, er, training. A perfect gift for the boy turning 50 who’d like to take his birthday party for a ride.

Tips on how to land the fish

By Paul ‘Tracker’ Pingiaro EVEN with good numbers of squid, flathead, gummy sharks and salmon fishing in Port Phillip and Western Port is all about snapper.

So how do you go about landing a snapper? There are many things that you can do to increase your chances of landing a big red.

The number one tip I received from my father many years ago is that you have to fish where the fish are.

At its most basic this equates to fishing shallow waters (6-15 meters) at night and deeper waters during the day (16-22 meters).

Popular Snapper fishing destinations include Mornington, Carrum and St Kilda in Port Phillip and Hastings, Crib Point, and Rhyll in Western Port.

Timing is everything yet nothing at the same time. The peak times to land a snapper are dawn, dusk and the change of tide. My number one saying is that you will not catch a snapper in your office, Mother Nature in all her splendour has made fish both totally predictable and completely unpredictable.

Each year I see hundreds of snapper caught with none of the key times in play, you just have to be in it to win it.

Snapper fishing can be a waiting game. If you’re approaching a peak fishing time stay put, be patient and keep those lines in the water. I like to give a snapper spot at least two hours (preferably one hour either side of the prime time), then by all means move about or sound around for another spot.

Hard core snapper fishos should keep a dairy detailing date, time, tide, moon phase, location, weather conditions, bait and results. This will

Fish to order: James Rodgers of Unreel fishing charters got Steven Yau this lovely snapper from the Hospital Mark.

enable you to predict fish movements and help you plan your next snapper sortie.

Snapper fishing can be as complex or as simple as you like. From handlines to graphite rods, soft plastics and braided lines, there is a niche for every angler and their style.

I opt for a 4-7kg spinning outfit in Port Phillip and a 10kg overhead setup in Western Port.

My rig is always a running sinker rig with the sinker weight dictated by the conditions. I never use a wire trace when snapper fishing, 40-60lb monofilament is ample. Snapper snatchers/flasher rigs, soft plastics, jigs and even flies all account for their share of snapper, but it’s bait fishing that is the most popular entry level technique. Squid, pilchards, silver whiting, garfish and saurie are the

most popular baits for snapper.

Use only the freshest baits available but when the snapper are on the bite it won't matter what you offer. The trick is to entice them when they are not in a frenzy mode.

Anglers should match their hook size to their bait size, for small baits a size 2/0 hook could be ample but for larger baits a pair of 6/0 hooks may fit the bill.

Any fishing adventure should be planned. Check the weather as there is no point planning to go fishing if the wind is going to blow 30 knots.

Make sure you have all that you need, don’t look like a goose and run out of bait, hooks or sinkers. Be sure to have change for your launching fee. Know where your landing net is and most importantly if your boat fishing make sure that you have the correct safety equipment, enough fuel and a charged battery.

My top 10 snapper fishing tips: 1. Fish where the fish are.

2. Be prepared.

3 Patience.

4. Never use a wire trace.

5. Match hook size to bait size.

6. Don’t move during peak times.

7. The fresher the bait the better.

8. Fish as many lines as possible (limit four a person).

9. Keep a fishing diary.

10. Relax and enjoy.  Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro runs Mornington Boat Hire at Schnapper Point in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Hire at Yaringa boat harbour in Somerville (www.morningtonboathire.com.au or call 5975 5479).

Pink ladies lined up for cancer MORE than 100 pink ladies and one blue man covered part of the garden at The Bays Hospital, Mornington, on Monday to raise awareness of Secondary Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The “mini-field of women” silhouettes were gone by day’s end but will be back next Monday, 20 October, signifying Breast Cancer Awareness Day. In the meantime, the pink ladies and one blue man will have been displayed in planter boxes outside the Grand Hotel, Mornington, during Sunday’s annual wine and food festival.

“The one blue man among so many pink ladies indicates the numerical difference between how many men get breast cancer compared to women,” former Mornington Peninsula citizen of the year Jo Lovelock said.

A midwife, Ms Lovelock, of Mt Martha, is also a McGrath Breast Care Nurse.

She said anyone affected by breast

cancer could write tributes or notes and attach them to the silhouettes.

“Every day 41 Australian women learn they have breast cancer and seven lose their lives to the disease,” Ms Lovelock said.

“Each time a woman hears she has breast cancer, those around her in the community are also affected. Support for women and families affected by breast cancer are an important issue in our local community.”

Breast Cancer Network Australia’s CEO Maxine Morand, a breast cancer survivor, said the event is a powerful reminder that “you are not alone on your breast cancer journey”.

“This October, around 300 minifields of women events are being held in local communities right across Australia. Although breast cancer care and knowledge has come a long way, women are still being diagnosed every single day that need our help and support.”

Chisholm upgrade on course Neil Walker neil@mpnews.com.au FRANKSTON’S Chisholm TAFE is set to become a premier tertiary training centre – no matter who wins next month’s state election.

Premier Denis Napthine dropped in to Frankston last week to announce a $45.5 million redevelopment of the Chisholm institute.

Chisholm Institute CEO Maria Peters, Dr Napthine and Higher Education and Skills Minister Nick Wakeling unveiled a joint plan to redevelop the Frankston campus to include an advanced manufacturing and trades training base, and a new centre for health and community services.

Chisholm will contribute $23.6m to the redevelopment, while the state government has pledged $21.9m.

Ms Peters confirmed the state’s $21.9m contribution would be fully allocated in any incoming government’s budget, whether that be a Liberal National Coalition or Labor state government.

She told The News that discussions with the state government and Major Projects Victoria had begun about 18 months ago.

“It was identified that Frankston needed development,” Ms Peters said.

“It’s very exciting for the people of our region.”

Ms Peters said a bachelor of engineering technology degree would be offered at Frankston Chisholm for the first time as a result of the planned new Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Trades, which will be built onsite.

The near $22m government investment would be used to “kick start” the project, Ms Peters said.

She envisaged a “two-year build” once construction began, with a Centre for Health and Community Services, VET, and tertiary studies planned for the campus redevelopment.

A “conceptual” plan of the revamp of Chisholm’s three Frankston buildings was displayed when Premier Napthine visited the campus.

Ms Peters said there would be “evolving developing stages”, with further planning to take place over the next 12 months.

The CEO said he was confident Chisholm Frankston could finance future stages in the campus redevelopment in conjunction with “funding available at that time”.

A statement issued by the Premier and Mr Wakeling stated: “The new facilities at Chisholm are strategically located, with 60 per cent of Victoria’s automotive supply chain companies located in Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs. This project will enable Chisholm Institute to cater for automotive workers who want to transition to new jobs in the advanced manufacturing and trades industries.”

The financial support for Chisholm’s Frankston campus comes two years after the Coalition state government, under then premier Ted Baillieu, stripped about $30m a year from Chisholm TAFE’s budget as part of $300m annual TAFE sector funding cut across Victoria.

“It’s been a challenge and we adjusted our business model,” Ms Peters

said. “We’ve managed to maintain the quality of our product.”

She praised staff for their professionalism in ensuring the Frankston campus maintained its high education standards.

Mr Wakeling’s statement blamed the previous Labor state government

for the TAFE sector’s woes, citing “a botched introduction of the open market by Labor in 2008.”

In August, opposition spokesman for skills and apprenticeships Steve Herbert said many Victorian TAFE providers faced “a bleak future”.

“Students have seen a drop of over

$100m in state government operational funding to TAFE, as well as massive fee hikes, large-scale staff sackings, and the outsourcing of teaching.”

Many TAFES suffered losses last financial year but Chisholm Frankston reported a net surplus of $30.6m.

Native paradise GARDEN lovers can enjoy one of the region’s most renowned private native gardens this weekend, while helping raise money for poor African children. Mt Martha couple Cate and John Jaede will open their native garden at 38 Ellerina Rd to the general public next Saturday and Sunday.

The Jaedes’ expansive garden features hundreds of Australian native plants, complete with rocky creek and pond, and is a favourite destination for birds and butterflies. Richard Anderson of Merricks Nursery will also be on hand share his extensive knowledge of Australian plants at the event.

The opening has been organised to help raise funds for Mrs Jaede’s volunteer efforts in Africa with Kwaya Uganda. She visited Uganda this year and is now planning to return next year to help with the projects in an orphanage and a school in the slums, as well as working with The African Childrens Choir.

The garden is open on 25-26 October from 10am-4pm. Light refreshments available.

Protest over police move Continued from Page 1

He worries that the police will be from frontline units including highway patrol, criminal investigation and crime scene.

“Locals are concerned that there are barely enough police officers to patrol and respond to calls for police service as it is, a problem which always gets worse during the summer months when holidaymakers swell the population here to more than 200,000.

“These police officers provide a very important investigative and road trauma prevention role which will be lost to us if the proposed move goes ahead. General duties police will also lose their important back-up response from these specialist units at busy times.”

Mr Irving said he was concerned that there would be “just 11 additional police officers allocated to the southern peninsula during this busy time”.

“We hope that as many business owners, community members and off-duty police officers as possible will attend this important event so that we can collectively express our fears about a reduction in community safety on the southern peninsula and the loss of police expertise the community can ill-afford to lose, particularly during the summer months.”

An online petition is available at the ‘keep our police on the southern peninsula’ page on Facebook.

Peninsula Police Command last week would not specify which, or how many, police would be moved to Somerville.

“Victoria Police is currently undertaking an organisational review involving several work units in Southern Metro Region Division 4 (Frankston and Mornington Peninsula PSAs),” superintendent Neil Paterson said.

“I am unable to pre-empt the outcome of the review as it is not finalised and necessarily involves consultation with staff and unions as required by the current enterprise agreement.”

Mr Iddles described policing in Rosebud and Rye as “country policing”.

“When a uniformed policeman turns up at a

situation he can usually expect back up from others at the station - uniformed police or detectives – but now this won’t happen because they’ll be too far away.”

Rosebud police station is expected to lose 31 police to Somerville – leaving 59 to oversee Rosebud, Rye and Dromana.

“They say it’s all about centralised policing, but there’s no sense in having police investigating crime in Rosebud having to go all the way back to Somerville and other units operating with no support because highway patrol can’t move along Nepean Highway at peak times.

“That’s jeopardising the safety of our members.”

Mr Iddles said another concern was that, over time, and after the 31 police had been moved to Somerville, “the chief commissioner might say, ‘there’s extra space at Rosebud now so let’s move police from Sorrento there and just have a shop front at Sorrento’.”

The same scenario would see police at Hastings moved to Somerville.

Graham Martin, who has run Rosebud Towing and Rye Motors for 20 years – and been a CFA member for 40 years - said the highway police role in allocating damaged cars to tow truck operators, and in assessing accidents where a person is injured, meant they had to be on the spot – and quickly.

“I can’t see the move [to Somerville] working,” he said. “The highway patrol is involved in 90 per cent of the vehicle accidents down here and if we have to wait around for them to come from Somerville it will mean traffic gets banked up for hours.

“And if they have to go back to Somerville to do paperwork we would have to wait even longer.

“If we have to do a salvage job - and block off the road - it means we will be tied up waiting for a police car for an hour or more. They might as well be at Frankston.”

Mr Martin said peak season tourist numbers would hamper police mobility: “Imagine what it will be like waiting for them to arrive from Somerville,” he said.

Over 60s take to the pitch

THE OUTLOOK COLLECTION

THE strength of cricket on the peninsula is well regarded - and it’s now continuing into the over 60s competition through the Mornington Peninsula Over 60s Cricket Club.

Teams play at the R M Hooper Oval, Graydens Rd, Tuerong between October and March.

Veterans’ cricket is reportedly the fastest growing level of cricket in Australia, with each state now having strong competitions and sending teams to the national carnival - to be held in Casey next month.

The peninsula team plays every second weekend, as well as in a mid-week competition, in 40-over games. “They are hard fought but played in a terrific spirit finishing with a barbecue for players, wives, families, girlfriends and supporters,” member Dick Stumbles said.

Laughter plays a big part in the games, with all players pleased to be able – despite their ages take part in a game of cricket. “Skills and talent vary but the emphasis is on everyone getting a go,” he said. “Players retire after making 40 and eight bowlers must be used.”

A feature of Over 60s cricket is the touring: over the past year teams have played in England, New Zealand, Iceland, the US, Hawaii, Ireland and Scotland.

Next year tours are planned to Sri Lanka, Hawaii and the UK - so there is no shortage of opportunity to explore the world and have a game of cricket as well.

Red Cross offers learn to earn classes MATURE aged job seekers and those with a disability are being urged by Red Cross to consider heading back to the classroom to learn how to earn, now that Australians are living longer, retiring later and less likely to rely on welfare benefits.

Bureau of Statistics figures show the average retirement age has jumped by five years in recent times with only nine per cent of workers expecting to retire before the age of 60. The figures also show a big shift in the way people expect to pay for their retirement, with fewer and fewer relying on a pension.

“The trend towards part-time work means there will be plenty of jobs in aged care, community services, cleaning, hospitality, retail, transport and warehousing,” Red Cross operations and business development general manager Chris Casey said.

“At Red Cross we have a range of training courses for job seekers to up skill, learn new skills or simply gain the confidence to re-join the workforce.

Rethink port plan I was fascinated to read (‘Parties to debate port merits’, The News, 7/10/14) that seven councils including Mornington Peninsula Shire, the City of Frankston, Greater Dandenong, Kingston, Cardinia, Casey and Bass Coast commissioned a report to assess the potential benefits of the Liberal-backed Port of Hastings development.

Frankston is even reported as laying claim to becoming the “the commercial hub of the expanding Port of Hastings”.

Does this mean these councils all see their massive unemployment problems being solved by one development and reaping all the flow on benefits? What about the local people and businesses in Hastings? Are they going to be trampled over in the rush?

The only reason some Hastings locals may support the port development is in hope of getting a job after so many lost their positions with Lysaghts, BHP and BlueScope.

It seems the promise of a job in exchange for ruining our beautiful Ramsar-listed Western Port is getting worse by the minute as a trade-off.

Time to have a rethink.

Apology to Mr Hunt Flinders MP Greg Hunt has written that I said he was “so far not listening to our concerns let alone answering them” (‘For the record’ , Letters, The News 7/10/14).

What I actually said was “Federal Environment Minister and local member Greg Hunt is so far not listening and discounting our concerns.

I’ve had no choice but to take this big step”.

I apologise for saying that he wasn’t listening, as he has responded to every letter and we appreciate his time, it was incorrect.

Karri Giles, president Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council Editor: A news release issued on 16 September by the Victorian National Parks Association headed ‘Hastings port threat taken to Switzerland’ quotes Ms Giles as saying: “And since our local member and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt is so far not listening to our concerns,

JUST BECAUSE WE’RE CLOSED DOESN’T MEAN WE’RE CLOSED! SHOP ONLINE

24x7

let alone answering them, I’ve had no choice but to take this step.” The statement was reported in the article headed ‘Swiss visit by port protesters’, The News 23/9/14.

Hunt ‘defence’ May I come to the defence of Flinders Greg Hunt and maybe prevent Karri Giles and the The News from a defamation charge. (‘For the record’ , Letters, The News 7/10/14).

I can confirm that Mr Hunt does reply to constituents concerns by letter or email. This was my personal experience when I called him on my mobile phone from the UK regarding his government’s damaging plan to wind back the renewable energy target.

I was moved to call Mr Hunt by the negative response in the British press to his environmental policy that mirrored the public response in Australia. His reply appeared to be a cut and paste email from his office staff that didn’t for one minute address the concerns that I raised and finally blamed the previous government.

Not surprising I suppose, as the Sydney Morning Herald (7/10/14) reported that Mr Hunt, after being briefed by the much respected Bureau of Meteorology, laughably chose to quote from Wikepedia to explain his stance on climate change.

Maybe Mr Hunt should be looking for bigger targets than his local newspaper for his thinly veiled threats regarding defamation.

He could begin with the following national and international media articles: Sydney Morning Herald, 13/12 2013 ‘Greg Hunt’s claim on carbon figures little more than hot air’ or The Guardian, 12/01/2014 ‘Australian Environment Minister is totally, shamefully negligent with his direct action policy’, concluding that “The Liberal government is attempting to fleece everyday Australians out of $3 billion, handed out in grants to big polluters for magical, immeasurable carbon emission reductions”.

The Business Spectator (19/08/13) puts it in a less eloquent but maybe very accurate way: ‘Greg Hunt’s magnificent bluff’.

Maybe Mr Hunt has to swim against the tide of expert opinion to maintain his grip on

a ministerial position that he considers more important than the future for our children and grandchildren.

It does him no credit to threaten his local newspaper because it doesn't help his now tenuous hold onto a discredited ministerial position in a government that has lost the confidence of the majority of Australian voters Geoff Selby, Moorooduc

Apology to Mr Hunt Flinders MP Greg Hunt has written that I said he was “so far not listening to our concerns let alone answering them” (‘For the record’ , Letters, The News 7/10/14).

What I actually said was “Federal Environment Minister and local member Greg Hunt is so far not listening and discounting our concerns.

I’ve had no choice but to take this big step”.

I apologise for saying that he wasn’t listening, as he has responded to every letter and we appreciate his time, it was incorrect.

Karri Giles, president Westernport and Peninsula Protection Council Editor: A news release issued on 16 September by the Victorian National Parks Association headed ‘Hastings port threat taken to Switzerland’ quotes Ms Giles as saying: “And since our local member and federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt is so far not listening to our concerns, let alone answering them, I’ve had no choice but to take this step.” The statement was reported in the article headed ‘Swiss visit by port protesters’, The News 23/9/14.

Unfair criticism I find it a bit rich for [Flinders MP] Greg Hunt to accuse someone who has tirelessly worked for the protection of our environment (‘For the record’ , Letters, The News 7/10/14).

He is supposed to be a voice for the environment, not against it. By shooting the messenger I believe he shows scant regard for our poor environment, which is under such incredible stress from our unrealistic hunt for possessions at any cost.

Auction to decide animals’ fate Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au THE auction of a Balnarring property on Saturday holds the fate of 260 native animals in its grasp.

The four-hectare Black and White Swan sanctuary, owned by animal lover and pensioner Maryrose Kersting, is being sold by the Commonwealth Bank to repay mortgage debts.

She fears moving her beloved animals from the Stumpy Gully Rd property after so many years in the one place may stress and kill them.

Mrs Kersting, 70, has run the sanctuary for the past 20 years, caring for wallabies, pademelons, brush-tailed bettongs, sugar gliders, ringtail and brushtail possums, ducks and geese, emus, black and white swans, parrots, lorikeets, cockatoos, chooks, peacocks and pheasants.

Some species are listed as threatened in Victoria.

It is the only home many of the animals have ever known.

Mrs Kersting says she has spent “a couple of hundred thousand” dollars over the years erecting fox-proof fencing, digging nine dams and building fountains and enclosures for her charges, who she regards as family.

One, a red deer, will be 20 in December – making it possibly the oldest of its species in Australia.

The property is owned by a family printing business which reportedly ceased trading in March.

The property is tipped to sell for $1.2 million when auctioned by Satchwells Real Estate.

Mrs Kersting said she had tried to discuss the property’s future with the Cheltenham branch of the bank, where the mortgage is held, “but they won’t talk to me because I am old”.

“They’ll talk to my daughter but not me. I have sent them many letters – over two months ago – but they won’t get back to me.”

The emotional stress and heartache is damaging Mrs Kersting’s health as she battles to keep up with her daily chores of feeding the animals and maintaining the enclosures.

She says she desperately needs financial assistance to find a place to live with her animals and to build suit-

able ponds, aviaries and yards to house them.Asked about her future, she said: “I don’t know what will happen. I am scared of the future. I’d be devastated if I had to move.”

RSPCA Victoria visited the property

last week with wildlife officers of the Department of the Environment and Primary Industry.

“We found no issues,” inspectorate manager Allie Jalbert said. “In fact, this property was one of the higher

Decades of art and friendship on exhibition PENINSULA Arts Society will celebrate its 60th anniversary next month with a show over the Melbourne Cup weekend.

The society began in March 1954 when professional artists from all parts of the peninsula met at the Mechanics Hall at the invitation of residents and art enthusiasts Colin and Maidie McGowan.

A committee was formed and

Peninsula Arts Society was born – making it the first official arts society to be established on the Mornington Peninsula. Meetings were held in various places around Frankston and the society eventually bought a property at 13 Overton Rd, Frankston, which was used for eight years. In 1988 the society built its own studio and gallery on land in Overport Park leased from the Frankston Council.

In 1999 the premises were extended, adding an extra studio.

“From its humble beginnings, the membership of more than 600 artists has grown into a vibrant and thriving artistic community of members who regularly meet and exhibit,” member Wendy Easton said.

“They enjoy the friendship that emanates through all the varied fine art classes, regular workshops,

demonstrations and social activities offered to novice and experienced artists by outstanding renowned tutors.”

Ms Easton said the society’s continued success and strength lay in its “wealth of artistic excellence and education, its ability to give back to the community, raising money for charitable causes and its spirit of camaraderie, providing a place of support and nurturing for all”.

All these things come together at the annual Cup Weekend Spring Art Show – 1-4 November - and Diamond Anniversary Show. The shows are at 159 Overport Rd, Frankston South 10am-5pm. Entry is free. Details: pasinfo@bigpond.com or call 9775 2640. Visit peninsulaartssociety.org.au Art works will be on display and for sale. Devonshire teas by the Red Cross, meet the artists and enter the raffle.

Women tear strips off for beach charity snaps THE Dromana Dee’s have posed for a racy calendar to raise money for the Oncology Day Unit at Rosebud Hospital.

The tight knit group of 13 ladies - all over the age of 50 posed for a series of photos on Dromana beach.

Group founder Heather Smethurst said they “had a ball” taking the photos. “We took them on the beach in winter – it was freezing,” she laughed.

“We figured there would be less people on the beach then but we still had to duck for cover when people walked past.”

Ms Smethurst said the Dromana Dee’s like to have fun and do a bit of good for the local community. “We chose to donate the proceeds of our calendar to the Rosebud Hospital Oncology day unit because it is something that is close to our hearts,” she said.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Victoria. It is estimated that cancer diagnosis will increase by a staggering 60 per cent over the next 10 years.

Rosebud Hospital performed more than 1700 treatments last year in the Oncology Day Unit.

Calendars are $15 with all proceeds going to the Rosebud Hospital Oncology day unit.

The ladies will launch their calendar at 7.30pm Friday at The Peninsula Club, Dromana. To pre-order call 0400 850 043.

After a decade in the area, Mowerpower maintains its strong commitment to bringing the newest equipment and latest technology to customers. This season Mowerpower is introducing two new ride on mowers, the Australian made Graden range of zero turn mowers, and the unique Cub Cadet RZTS, a zero turn mower with a steering wheel.

“A growing segment of the lawn mower market is zero turn mowers, “says owner Ray Percival.

Polished floorboards extend through the living areas with an open-plan casual zone, boasting a gas log-effect heater and air-conditioning, adjoining the tidy kitchen. A second living area towards the centre of the home has access out to one of the entertaining decks. Around three sides of the home, the verandahs and decking allow the opportunity to enjoy the coastal lifestyle to the full and serve to enhance the sense of overall space.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...

Pick a winner in the Caulfield Cup Compiled by Melissa Hodge AT St. Paul’s Church, Frankston, on Sunday, services of humiliation and intercession on account of the drought will be held. A special form of prayer has been issued, to be used at every Church of England service in Victoria. *** THE result of the deputation arranged by the Frankston Progress Association to the Commissioners of Railways has resulted in an improvement to our service being promised on the commencement of the summer timetable in November.

The thanks of the Frankston public are due to the association for the addition to the timetable of a train leaving Melbourne at 11.15am, arriving at Frankston about 12.30 o’clock. This should be a great convenience to holiday makers and day trippers. *** OWING to various causes the working bee at the Frankston cemetery was not so large as had been intended.

There will be another today – see our advertising columns. *** THE Circuit Quarterly Meeting of the Frankston Methodist Church was held at Frankston on Wednesday, 30th. The minister, Rev R. Jackson, presiding.

Representatives from each place in the circuit were present.

The minister was unanimously invited to remain in the circuit another year.

The Shire President (Cr W. J. Oates) who was present as a member, was congratulated on his elevation to of-

fice, and complimented for his adherence to temperance principles.

The quarterly balance sheet disclosed a small credit balance.

The recent opening of Carrum Downs was reported upon favourably.

Feeling reference was made to the death of the late senior Circuit Steward (Mr A. E. Gault), who did so much to advance the interests of the church he loved and faithfully served.

A resolution was passed regarding the abolition of the wet canteen at Broadmeadows.

The ladies of the Frankston church kindly provided tea for the members and friends, for which hearty thanks were given. *** TODAY (Saturday) the Caulfield Cup will be run, and although it will be very hard to pick the winner, I am of the opinion that the judges verdict may result as follows :–Anna Carlovna or St. Carnawyne 1, Uncle Sam 2, Bon Ton 3. *** THERE was a moderate attendance at the Frankston Methodist Church on a Thursday evening when Sister Bessie, Home Mission Deputation, gave an interesting address on various areas of missionary work. The speaker was listened to attentively and much appreciated by those present. Rev Jackson occupied the chair. *** AT a meeting of the Chelsea Progress Association, held on Saturday evening, it was decided to support Aspendale district in an effort to get a

train from Melbourne put on between 5.32pm and 6.22pm. Members stated that many persons who were able to leave their offices in the city at 5.30 could not catch the first, and it was a great infliction to have to wait 50 minutes for the next. There are trains leaving for Mordialloc at 5.52 and 6.12. It was suggested that the former of these be cut to Chelsea and Carrum, and the meeting agreed to ask the Railway Commissioners either to put on a new through train or to let the 5.52pm train run it through. *** ON Tuesday the passenger traffic on the Caulfield, Mordialloc and Frankston lines was seriously delayed owing to the engine of a goods train breaking down at Malvern.

The goods train left Melbourne for| Berwick at 2.50pm and when the Malvern station was reached, the side rod of the engine snapped.

The train was then helpless, and as the line was blocked the passenger train which left Flinders Street at 3.30 for Oakleigh had to push the disabled goods on to Caulfield, where it was shunted on to a side line to await the arrival of a new engine.

This necessitated a long delay, and as a result the 3.50 down train to Mordialloc was held up for 40 minutes, and the train 38 which was to have left Flinders Street at 4.37 for Frankston did not depart until a quarter of an hour after its appointed time.

In addition, the running of several suburban passenger trains was interfered with, but traffic became normal again be-

fore the business rush set in at 5 o’clock. *** Encouraging Tree Planting THE Minister of Forests was waited on by representatives of the Victorian Fruit Growers’ Association, who had previously interviewed the Minister of Agriculture.

They stated that the Nurserymen and Seedmen’s Association had passed a resolution in approval of the attitude of the fruit growers in endeavouring to secure the reforestation of areas in the state, as this meant the beautification of the district; the provision of a supply of timber, which would be of value in the future; and the increase of the rain fall.

They presented a copy of this resolution, and they asked that the Minister should lend encouragement to replanting – for example, the replanting of from three to ten acre blocks, on the system followed in America.

The association, in addition to its concern for an active policy in the control of the forests had a special interest. It would benefit if the trees could be planted that would provide timber for box making.

The deputation suggested the planting of pine trees.

Mr Brown pointed out that under the existing law it was provided that settlers who planted their land with trees could be relieved of the higher taxes resulting from increase in value. The department was prepared to encourage reforestation but felt that it was already doing the work recommended by the association.

It had a plantation of pines covering about 1000 acres on French Island.

Last week they had conferred with officers on forestry, and it was fully recognised that more timber would be wanted in the future. *** TYABB. It is with deepest sympathy that we record the death of Mrs J. H. Thornell, of Hazelglen, who passed away rather suddenly on Wednesday morning last. The deceased had been suffering more or less during the last twelve months, but suddenly lapsed into a serious illness on Saturday last when her relatives at once realised that there was no hope for recovery. *** ON Monday evening last Sister Bessie, of the Livingstone Home Mission Society, gave a very interesting lecture in the local hall on missionary work.

A fairly large gathering assembled, and enjoyed listening to the speaker, and also to the anthems which were splendidly rendered by the Somerville Methodist Choir. The sum of 30s was taken up by collection towards the Mission Fund. *** THE Westernport entertainers gave another one of their grand concerts in the local town hall on Friday night last week, in aid of the brass band. Owing to the bad state of the weather, there was not as large an audience present as was anticipated, but those who were present were astonished at the progress made by the band.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES

Tales of a reluctant traveller

By Stuart McCullough IT was inevitable. I’d seen the first series of ‘What Really Happens in Bali’ and felt inspired. Heck, I can fall over, get drunk, say stupid and downright inappropriate things that makes millions of people wince whilst getting an horrific but reasonably priced tattoo as well as the next person. Clearly, this was the place for me. That my pale skin leaves me susceptible to third degree burns when exposed to anything heavier than a forty-watt light bulb would not dissuade me. Besides, they must be filming a second series by now. Given that my groundbreaking and ingenious offer to be the Bachelor whilst living exclusively inside the Big Brother compound was rejected, going to Bali and injuring myself could be my big break. So to speak.

There are so many reasons to go and only one reason to stay. To put it simply, my back is an empty canvas that is presently going to waste. I want a dragon. With fire coming out of its mouth and holding an electric guitar (preferably a Gibson Les Paul ‘57, if that’s not too much to ask). Next to it, I’ll get the Southern Cross and below that add a few Chinese characters which, in an act of supreme irony, I hope will say ‘Australian Made’, but will probably say ‘Property of the People’s Republic of China’. Bali is the land of discount tattooing. That your provider may be using a sharpened Paddle Pop stick as his tool of trade and drawing ink from a severed biro is all part of the joy of overseas travel. The reason for not go-

PAGE 38

ing is simple: my abiding and deep respect for gravity.

I am not a good flyer. It’s one of many things at which I truly suck. I am awful Formula One driver, but I seldom if ever get asked to race. When it comes to laying down rhyme, I’m not much of a rapper even though my employee record names ‘ODB’ from the Wu Tang Clan as my next of kin. I am a hopeless thoracic surgeon although I did once write a film script called ‘Thoracic Park’ in which pre-historic medical practitioners at-

Western Port News 14 October 2014

tack Jeff Goldblum, partly because he disturbed them in their natural habitat but mostly just for being Jeff Goldblum. Whilst I can avoid representing the Red Bull team, recording with the Wu Tang Clan and conducting surgery – both official and otherwise – some things you can only evade for so long.

Sitting next to me on a plane is not a fun experience. For a time, I travelled with work colleagues from Brisbane to Perth on a semi regular basis. I could almost see them age over the course of the flight, such was the effect of my

anxiety. This time, I’ve come prepared with the entire last season of ‘Breaking Bad’ loaded onto the iPad in the hope of distracting myself and, possibly, providing a vicarious viewing experience to the six year old sitting beside me that may well scar him or her for life.

Flying is the ultimate ‘don’t look down’ experience. But as I tighten my seatbelt on the plane, it’s clear that air-travel has changed. I wait for the moment to arrive, but it never does. It seems that somewhere in the quest for low-cost air travel we have abandoned the one thing that distinguished flying from other forms of transport: the hot towel. Frankly, without a hot towel I might as well be sitting on a tram.

Who is it that makes such monumental decisions? Is there a committee? Was there a plebiscite? The stewardess refuses to answer any of these questions no matter how often I push the button.

As a result, I’m forced to improvise by wetting one of my socks and using two biros as a makeshift pair of tongs. ‘Hot towel?’ I ask.

In flying terms, six hours is nothing.

But for someone who would rather extract his own teeth with a pair of barbecue tongs than get on a plane it’s a lot of time to distract yourself.

Walter White is well on the path to destruction and I’ve eaten a dehydrated meal of rice whose claims of being ‘Nasi Goreng’ are roughly as about as credible as my claims of being Miss Universe. Everyone around me seems incredibly relaxed, no doubt preoc-

cupied by having to decide which cut price tattoo to get first. When the flight touches down in Denpasar, I feel as though I’ve achieved something quite spectacular. We are herded onto a small bus to get to the terminal and I am struck in the back of the head by a mobile phone as a young holiday goer makes a face that resemble a fish recently injected with Botox and takes selfies. Forget boogie bags stuffed with contraband; if there’s anything that deserves a stretch in an Indonesian prison, it’s taking selfies on public transport. However, my attempts to report these activities to security staff are greeted with a chronic lack of interest.

When I travel, I’m always keen to respect the local customs. In the case of Denpasar airport, the local customs involve queuing up for an hour and waiting to hand over a wad of American dollars. Soon, we are collected from the airport by a young man called ‘Mus’ whose job it is to take us to Ubud. He has Bob Marley on the stereo and when I make a comment about this fact, he interprets it as some kind of criticism and switches to One Direction. Suddenly, my fear of flying is dwarfed by my fear of anything to do with Simon Cowell. By the time we arrive at our destination, I am a pale, quivering wreck and our hosts come out and greet us in the traditional Indonesian manner by asking, ‘Hot towel?’ stuart@stuartmccullough.com

BASIC POLITICS The Times They Are A Changing…a song maybe the Grammy Award winning solo artist Gotye with his group The Basics (Kris Schroeder and Tim Heath) could be singing?

Get ready Victoria – you will be hearing a lot more from them as they run in the upcoming state election in Victoria.

Gotye, aka Wally De Backer along with long time friends Schroeder and Heath, have formed The Basics Rock’n’Roll Party (BRRP) and have confirmed their acceptance of running on November 29.

“We want to demonstrate that it is possible to have a political party in Australia that is not Labor or Liberal. A group that is not ultimately driven by the mining or union sectors. A party that’s players are not treated like royalty with glossy leaders” said Schroeder. He went on to say “we are not politicians, we are ordinary folk without an agenda who work on the basis of honesty and integrity. We are not being paid by lobby groups for what we want to achieve. We just want people to have a voice to ask questions. Questions I am sure we would all want the answers too. Why is this happening?

Who made that decision for me?”

The trio do not want to change the political landscape as they have in the music industry, they want to prove anyone can take their place in politics – there is enough room for everyone!

The three pillars of the parties political movement are quite impressive; innovation, education, and of course Rock ‘n’ Roll. Their objectives include improving indigenous local learning in Victorian schools, compulsory first-aid training in high schools and having more access to music in rural areas.

With over 13,000 registered interest parties on the groups Facebook page, the small number of 500 registered members needed with the Victorian Electoral Commission is just a formality. One of the latest quips on the page is over 60% of the members so far are Red Heads; this did set the cat amongst the pigeons – we all know the most memorable of Red Heads that was at the helm of a major political party & our country – some may say changed the landscape for the better or worse? Don’t let this put you off. They are not Red Head bias – we have confirmed this for you!

The firm thoughts of the group are that decisions do not have to be made by the elite, well-to-do, or pure-bred politicians.

A large part of the issues that they are discussing are federally based, and this is an arena for the future of BRRP. History has shown that well know personalities perform well in the political arena. Peter Garrett would be one of those that come to mind. Possibly misguided, he did not stick to his own thoughts and agenda. In my humble opinion I think it was a bit of a compromise between his own ideals and what was convenient at the time. Looking back at the Midnight Oil the music completely contradicted his outward Labor political views, maybe a lesson that convenience is not always the best choice.

Enough political insight. The Basics Rock’n’Roll party will shake things up I’m sure. If you’re interested in keeping up with everything BRRP, check out the Facebook page in preparation for the Election on November 29th – I am sure you will be hearing a lot about it over the coming months!

ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT Introducing the new Blue Mini CafE, Eatery and Emporium THE iconic Blue Mini Café in Rosebud has been offering its fresh and delicious breakfast and lunch menu to hungry visitors for more than seven years from its great beachside location. With its friendly, personal service and relaxed retro atmosphere, the Blue Mini has grown to become a favourite of locals and tourists alike.

After more than a year in planning – and just in time for the school holidays – the Blue Mini has opened at its second location in Rosebud, bringing its clever and quirky take on informal dining to the old Rosebud bowling alley, which closed its doors in 2013.

Fully renovated throughout, the Blue Mini Café, Eatery and Emporium is a bright and spacious cafe, provedore and function venue which offers visitors to the Mornington Peninsula a unique experience.

Using recycled timbers and innovative design, the new Blue Mini has retained the retro look and feel of the bowling alley, breathing new life into the old building, while offering a relaxed, modern dining experience which captures the spirit and flavours of the Mornington Peninsula.

The Blue Mini is open seven days a week for all day breakfast and lunch with a vibrant seasonal menu that reflects the personality of the Mornington Peninsula.

The Blue Mini is more than a café and Tracey’s goal is to make every visit an experience. Walk through the café to the Eatery and Emporium and you will arrive at “The Lanes”, a spacious indoor dining

area built on the original polished lanes of the bowling alley. Here guests can enjoy a fresh coffee or tasty brunch which relaxing with friends in a bright, casual dining atmosphere. Your meal at the Blue Mini is complemented by a wide range of unique, retro kitchen and lifestyle themed giftware – again locally sourced and carefully selected to ensure you will always find something different. The Blue Mini Emporium also provides a market forum for Mornington Peninsula artists and artisans to display their creations, with opportunities to purchase local art, sculpture, crafts and flowers. The kids’ play area lets Mums enjoy some well-earned down time and grown-up company while the kids get creative and have fun.

The old site at Point Nepean Road, Rosebud is still up and running, as Tracey points out.

“We have just rebranded and revamped it a bit,” said Tracey. “We still have the same fabulous team there, great serviced and reasonably priced so you can relax and enjoy breakfast or lunch at your leisure.”

The original Blue Mini Café is now named The Corner Café and Catering, has a new look but everything else is the same.

Blue Mini Café, Eatery and Emporium is at 2 Colchester Road, Rosebud. Phone 5981 2520.

Walk in memory of Daniel THIS year, Mornington Peninsula Kids and MPNG in conjunction with Karingal Hub Shopping Centre are organising the annual Walk for Daniel on October 31.

The walk is part of the Day for Daniel awareness program, organised by the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, with a focus on information rather than fund raising.

Anna Brown, from Mornington Peninsula Kids, says it was a great success last year and they expect to have an even larger turnout this year.

“The walk is held at Karingal Hub so there is no concern about the weather. As this year’s Day for Daniel falls on October 31, we are combining the event with a trick or treat around the centre,” said Anna, who interviewed Bruce Morcombe last year. “After interviewing Mr Morcombe last year I was astounded at how upfront he was, the strength

and courage that he and Denise show. They don’t want it to happen to anybody else and are now devoting their time to education and prevention.”

The Walk for Daniel starts at 4pm at Karingal Hub. Bring the kids along in Halloween costume to trick or treat in safety. Enjoy free goodies with face-painting and a free drink station from McDonalds, a Batman appearance, St Kilda Football Club mascot, trick or treat lollies and a free colouring book.

The walk will start at 4.30pm, wandering around the centre twice along with the Karingal Hub Walking Club.

For further information go to www.peninsulakids.com.au If you are unable to attend the day but would like information on the Daniel Morcombe Foundation, go to www. danielmorcombe.com.au

Magpies’ batting puts them in box seat PROVINCIAL

By IT Gully CRIB Point is well placed for victory after the first day of the second round in Provincial cricket.

Up against Moorooduc at Moorooduc Reserve, the Magpies batted their full complement of 80 overs and scored an impressive 9/305.

The visitors won the toss and had little hesitation in batting first.

Things didn’t start well though when opener Henry Dolphin was claimed for just five, however, this brought the champ Luke Herrington to the crease with run machine and skipper Rob Hearn.

The pair took the score from 10 to 66 before Herrington was dismissed for 43 after belting seven fours.

Matty Blake contributed 29 to the scoreboard, batting at four instead of opening the innings.

When both Blake and Hearn (65)

were dismissed, this brought Brad Davidson and Ricky Thompson together.

The pair put on a clinic, smacking the pill to all parts of Moorooduc Reserve, sharing a partnership of 112.

Davidson, after hitting four fours and two sixes, was dismissed by Shane Manby for 51, before Thompson (66 including four fours and four sixes) became another Manby victim. At that stage, the Pies were in control, the score was on 275 and there were some overs still in play.

Chris Richmond, who played in the Second XI the week before, contributed a well timed 34.

Manby was the pick of the Ducs’ bowlers with 4/57 from 12 overs.

Bobby Wilson and Ross Cordeaux each claimed two wickets.

Langwarrin has set Mt Eliza a competitive total in their match at Emil Madsden Reserve.

The Kangas though would be

disappointed that it didn’t post a higher score than 230 after getting away to such a great start.

Opening pair Simon McEvoy and Mark Cooper put on 89 for the partnership before McEvoy was the first to go for 40. Cooper, who was ordinary with the bat last season, had a big pre-season and he followed-up his good first round knock with 57.

However, other than 65 from the in-form Andy Johnson, the Kangas really didn’t get going, their final six batsmen not reaching double figures.

Credit to Lyle House and his Mounties, who took a stranglehold on the game in the back end of the innings and kept the Kangas to a more than gettable total.

House himself finished with 3/79 from 24 overs, however, it was Nick Baron, who played in the Second XI last week, who really did the damage.

Baron was called up with just 15 overs left in the innings and had

an immediate impact, getting a caught and bowled immediately and finishing with 5/33 from eight overs.

The Mounties will be confident they can get the runs, while Langwarrin will be confident that they can defend 230, especially with Dwayne Doig and Adrian Mack on their side.

Sorrento will be looking for a big day on day two of their match against neighbour Rye, after already claiming first innings victory.

The Sorras bowled first and rolled the Demons for 108. AJ King was on fire with 6/28 while Anthony Blackwell picked-up 4/22. Tom Barrand top scored with 27 for Rye. In reply, the Sorras are cruising at 1/114 with former Demon Corey Harris unbeaten at the crease on 68.

Pines and Baxter will go down to the wire after 12 wickets tumbled on day one.

The Piners did the job with the ball with everyone contributing,

including Nick Wilcox, Brett Remy, Ricky Ramsdale and Pat Jackson, all claiming two wickets.

Baxter was dismissed for 142, Joe Rule following-up his ton last week with another 69.

In reply, Pines is 2/27.

Peninsula Old Boys have already picked-up the win against Heatherhill.

The Hills were rolled for 70 before the Old Boys responded with 2/105 at the close of play. No doubt an outright is on the cards for the home side.

In potentially the big upset of the round, Mornington is well and truly on the ropes against Long Island.

Playing at home, the Doggies batted first and were rolled for just 90.

In reply, the Islanders are 4/101.

Whilst the Islanders are a great side, one gets the feeling that there are some twists and turns still left in this one.

Hillmen set tone against Seaford DISTRICT

By IT Gully NEW kids on the MPCA District block, Red Hill, has set the scene for a cracking game against the competition’s glamour team, Seaford.

It was a tough second round draw for the Hillmen, who elevated themselves to District ranks after winning the flag last season.

Seaford has recruited extremely well in the off season and would have fancied their chances to intimidate the newest side to the competition.

However, Red Hill stood firm against the potent Seaford attack and posted a sensational score of 9/294.

Things didn’t start all that well after Seaford sent Red Hill into bat. Boom recruit Laurie Heath got his stumps rearranged by Andy McMannis when the score was on eight.

However, Andrew Mock and Rheede Hopgood were brought together at the crease and really did set the game up for the home side.

Mock played an anchor role and finished with 37, while Hopgood opened the shoulders and belted 108.

The pair took the score from eight to 141 before Hopgood was dismissed

by Faisal Payenda.

The Hopgood dismissal brought Simon Dart to the crease. Suffice to say things didn’t get any easier for Seaford’s bowlers at that point.

Dart finished unbeaten on 93.

The positive for Seaford was the bowling figures of Payenda, who finished with 7/114 off 29 overs.

McMannis claimed 2/80 off 18. Paul Hartle bowled just 14 overs but went for 44.

Hastings did well to keep the run machine that is Delacombe Park to 9/242.

The Blues were able to ensure that no Devils were able to get off the leash, although there could be an argument mounted that part-time batsman Ben Brittain should not have scored 62.

Brittain’s knock was an important one, as it helped push the score beyond 200. At one stage, the Devils

PAGE 46

were 9/187.

Max Sherry scored 21 batting at 11 and Brittain was unbeaten on 62.

There were also 30 extras bowled, including 11 no balls. Chris Brittain also contributed 44.

Tim Birch was the best of the Hastings’ bowlers, the skipper picking-up 4/50, while Luke Hewitt claimed 3/63.

It could be a case of the one that got away for the Blues, who probably allowed 50 additional runs. The batsmen now really need to step up to the plate.

Somerville is well on track to get the points against Mt Martha.

The Eagles bowled the Reds out for 127, however, lost two wickets for just 21 runs before the close of play.

Flinders has plenty of work to do against Seaford Tigers.

The Sharks batted first and managed 9/171, Tim Clark top scoring with 53 and Shane Beggs getting 25. Corey Hand was on fire for the Tigers with 5/54, while Ash Mills picked-up 2/28.

Daniel Polson scored a magnificent unbeaten 178 in Carrum’s massive 7/302 against Boneo.

Polson came to the crease when the Lions were in some bother at 3/58, however, he hung around for the rest of the innings.

John Mitchell was a solid support and scored 56 in their 133-run partnership.

Stewart Mathieson was the best of the Boneo bowlers with 3/52, while the evergreen Cameron Williams claimed 2/49 for the Pandas.

Main Ridge is well on the way to picking up the win against Baden Powell.

The Braves batted first and were bowled out for 152. Josh Waldron top scored for the Braves with 49.

However, the day belonged to the Cougars’ bowlers, Jason Albress taking 4/19 and Scott Millar 4/66.

The Cougars’ batsmen then went to town, Michael Holmes belting an unbeaten 84 and Ed Aarons is cruising on 32. At stumps, the home side was 1/128.

Knights could be on for major upset SUB-DISTRICT

By IT Gully BALLAM Park is a big chance to score the biggest upset in three or four seasons in their match against Balnarring in Sub District cricket.

Everything seemed to be going as normal in the match at Ballam Park, the Saints picking up wickets at will and eventually rolling the home side for 104.

It was all very normal at that point.

Mitch Kleinig did the job with the new ball for the Saints with a super impressive 4/2 from 13 overs, including 12 maidens, while Tyler Wilton was also superb with the nugget, claiming 4/27 from 10 overs.

New Knights’ skipper Ryan O’Connor contributed 28 runs with the bat, batting at nine, while Michael Casey opened with 34. Matt Moore with 10 was the only other Ballam Park batsman to score double figures.

What happened next though was the big shock.

With 24 overs left in the day, the Saints would have expected to set themselves up for a tilt at an outright win.

What they did, however, was slump to 6/51 at the close of play.

The top six Saints’ batsmen are all back in the sheds, including boom recruit David Ross, who was trapped in front off the bowling of Marc Blume for 13.

Mark Walles top scored with 20.

O’Connor picked-up 2/13, while Leigh Parslow snared 2/6.

A shock victory is on the cards for the Knights.

Rosebud has a lot of work to do against Carrum Downs.

The Buds batted first on Saturday at Olympic Park, however, were bowled out for just 127.

Brad Glenn flew the flag for the Buds with 42, however, he lacked support.

Chamara Perera was at his menacing best for the Cougars with 5/51, while Stuart Swift was also damaging with 3/18.

In reply, Rosebud has hit back, however, the visitors are still in the box seat at 3/46 after batting the last 22 overs of the day.

Skye’s bowlers will need to be at their very best when they take to the field next week against Pearcedale.

Skye batted first on Saturday and were rolled for just 145. Paul Fillipone was the only Burras batsman to have an impact, scoring 52, while Christian Samuel supported him well with 36. At one stage, the Burras were 5/34.

Chris Dew was the pick of the Dales’ bowlers with 4/37, Shayne Gillings claimed 3/29 and Kaine Smith snared 2/32.

In reply, Pearcedale needed to face the last three overs of the day and finished unscathed at 0/3.

Tootgarook has set Frankston YCW 171 for victory in their match at Peninsula Reserve.

Scott Sterling was the top scorer for the Frogs with 69.

In reply, YCW is 2/30.

Dromana appears to be in the box seat against Tyabb.

The Hoppers scored 163 before picking up four Tyabb wickets to have the visitors 4/78.

Jack Raeside and Jason Ferns were the pick of the Yabbies’ bowlers with three wickets each.

Strong start: Main Ridge should win its District match against Baden Powell. Pictures: Andrew Hurst

Sharks exodus, Rye nabs Moore FOOTY NEWS

By Toe Punt Sinking Sharks Bonbeach looks set to lose a heap of players after the new coach was appointed recently.

The Sharks, who lost the grand final in 2013 and finished third in 2014, look likely to lose Paul Rebeschini, Shane McDonald, Shaun Foster, Matt Clifford, Ricky and Jason Ferraro and Anthony Raso in the aftermath of the appointment.

Steve Hughes was announced as the new Sharks, replacing Stevey Capp.

Hughes spent most of his footy life at Noble Park before taking Springvale Districts to two premierships. He has been an assistant at Sandringham Dragons and has also been an AFL

recruiter for Adelaide Crows and Carlton.

Josh Bull has followed in his father Chris’ footsteps, joining the coach ranks in the reserves.

Word is Foster and Clifford are a big chance at Hastings, Rebeschini to Old Haileybury and McDonald to Chelsea.

Massive coup for Edithvale Edithvale Aspendale has appointed Graeme Yeats as senior coach.

The highly regarded and respected Yeats is a massive coup for the club.

Yeats is a former coach at Dandenong Stringrays and still has links in VFL and AFL circles.

There is talk, however, that the likes of Brent Bowden and Michael Kremmer

are in discussions with other clubs.

Doggies get their man Mornington has appointed favourite son Chris Holcombe to the top job.

Holcombe was an assistant to Stuart Seager this season.

Holcombe is an untried coach and will certainly have a lot of pressure on his to take the team one step further next season.

The likes of proven coaches in Steve Ryan (Pines and Rye) and Troy Shannon were overlooked for the job.

Demons appoint Josh Rye has appointed duel Sorrento premiership player Josh Moore as its new coach.

Moore replaces the retiring Ben Holmes.

Whilst Moore will lose the three Semmel brothers and Chris Gleeson, it is believed that he has a number of recruits in his sights, given his association with the Eastern Football League.

One of those recruits is Justin Van Unen, who set the league alight a couple of seasons ago with 100+ goals.

The Moore appointment seems to be a popular one, given there were a number of players assessing their options, including Adam Kirkwood. However, they all seem to be settled now.

The only player still up in the air is Rhett Sutton, who is linked to Old Haileybury and Mt Eliza.

Ripper appointment: Rye has nabbed dual premiership coach Josh Moore.

Enhanced Kia Rio launched KIA celebrated the world premiere of an enhanced Kia Rio at the 2014 Paris Motor Show on October 2, featuring a number of improvements to maintain the competitiveness of its global best-selling car.

“The Kia Rio was our best-selling vehicle nameplate worldwide in 2013, with a total of 471,000 sales, and among our top-three sellers here in Europe with 56,821 units delivered.

Improvements to this model are of major significance for our brand,” said Michael Cole, Chief Operating Officer, Kia Motors Europe.

“The 2015 Rio retains the core attributes that have proved so popular with owners, while enhancements to the 2014 model include a slight visual makeover, giving it a fresh exterior and interior look,” said Cole.

The Rio design team in Korea has updated the Rio’s ‘tiger-nose grille’ and given the car a newly-designed front bumper and fog lights.

Three new alloy wheel designs (available in 15, 16 and 17-inch) refresh the Rio’s profile and a new rear bumper completes the exterior makeover.

The Rio’s cabin is brightened by the addition of chrome accents around the four dashboard air-vents, and the fitting of a newly-designed centre-stack around the audio system.

Range-topping models have a new cloth trim as standard, while Kia is introducing the option of grey faux leather upholstery on this model.

For Australia the enhanced Rio will be available with a choice of a 1.4-litre engine coupled to a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic and, in the higher specification grades, a 1.6-litre engine which comes standard with a six-speed automatic.

Toyota Hilux Black is the new black TOYOTA has added an edgy new style to the ruggedness of Australia’s best-selling four-wheel-drive with the unveiling of a special-edition model dubbed HiLux Black.

The name says it all: HiLux Black is decked out with a range of exterior and interior treatments that are presented in black to enhance its toughness and appeal.

New for this version of the “unbreakable” HiLux is the combination of brooding black side steps, sports bar and leather-accented interior trim including the six-way adjustable power-operated driver’s seat.

Even the newly designed 17-inch alloy wheels are painted black behind their brightly machined six-spoke facades.

Prominent new front and rear bumpers, never previously offered in Australia, give the HiLux Black a lower, more planted stance – a powerful look accentuated by black extensions below the fog light surrounds.

Maintaining the model’s moody theme is a large black lower front grille that features a stylish red stripe along the bottom edge. LED daylight running lamps are specified for the first time on a HiLux in Australia.

Enthusiasts will appreciate the involvement of Toyota’s global partner TRD for cosmetic enhancements with its familiar logo appearing on the wheel caps and the front bumper extension.

With fewer than 1,000 being pro-

duced, the HiLux Black is based on the SR5 4x4 Double Cab pickup and attracts the maximum five-star safety rating.

Toyota Australia executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the special-edition model is ideally placed to meet the remarkably divergent demands of HiLux customers.

“People buy HiLux as a tough workhorse, a family vehicle or as a mixture of both, which means they are attracted by its renowned ruggedness and also its car-like comfort,” he said.

“HiLux Black delivers the best of

both worlds. Its aggressive black features build on the unbreakable image of HiLux while exuding a premium appearance because black is always in style.”

The special-edition model is powered exclusively by Toyota’s torquey 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, mated to either a five-speed manual gearbox or the five-speed automatic transmission introduced earlier this year.

The extensive feature list includes a reversing camera and a satellite navigation system with SUNA Live Traffic

updates – all viewed on the 6.1-inch display audio screen.

Special-edition badges located discreetly on the front and rear bumpers further distinguish the HiLux Black.

The colour choice is black and white literally, as Toyota has chosen Eclipse Black and Glacier White as the only exterior paint options for the specialedition model.

Equally as stark is the black-andwhite sales dominance HiLux enjoys among local customers. HiLux is the best-selling vehicle of its type and ranks third on the best-seller list for all
